We had tickets to the New Beverly’s rare screening of Sidney Poitier’s THE LOST MAN (1969) tonight but the parking situation was dire. We ended up miraculously finding a shoddy copy of someone’s VHS to watch at home since this was a movie that I just couldn’t miss! #FilmSky

FINALLY got the chance to visit The El Capitan Theatre for the first time to see LADY AND THE TRAMP (1955) on the big screen! It was even more magical than I could have dreamed of. 🥹💕

More Hollywood record store finds! I think finding the soundtrack to HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE (‘65) still in the plastic for $2 is probably one of my best scores yet!

In honor of Paul Newman’s 100th birthday, I made Joanne Woodward’s recipe for gazpacho that appears in the Newman’s Own cookbook! It’s more of a refreshing summer dish, but I had to make an exception to pay tribute to one of the most exceptional couples in Hollywood history. 💕

Celebrating our dating anniversary at one of our favorite places! Probably one of our last dates before we become a family of three and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
I’ve loved you three summers now honey, but I want them all. 💕

Started this morning by testing another Old Hollywood recipe for the cookbook: Diana Dors’ Breakfast Bean Omelette! This was outstanding, but I have to admit that I couldn’t resist adding a little bit of cheese, which might not be very British of me!

I just tried my first Old Hollywood recipe of the year: Raquel Welch’s Wonder Soup! It’s a recipe for the health foodies which makes a great New Year’s start!
Also, it’s supposed to be smoother than this but I ended up overloading my food processor. 😅

Great news! Mount Vernon Cemetery, which houses John Barrymore and members of his family, has been closed for nearly two decades. The cemetery’s fallen into disrepair, but the new year has brought a new owner! We’re one step closer to seeing Mount Vernon open and beautiful again!

I love when stores aren’t aware of the treasures they have. I found this for $2 at Amoeba in Hollywood, but after Olivia Hussey’s passing, it means a great deal more than $2 to me. 🕊️💔

I’m crying all over again because I truly can’t fathom how strong Olivia was to write about her experiences and fight for her rights while going through illness, just to have her case thrown out just before she died. Olivia deserves justice and always will. 💔

Our baby shower at The Formosa Cafe today was so spectacular. We even got Bugsy Seigel’s booth! I didn’t take a lot of pictures of the event itself because we were having so much fun, but it meant the world to be surrounded by friends and family who are so excited about our baby girl’s arrival! 🥰💕

Today marks eight years without one of the most magnificent women to ever exist. I think about Zsa Zsa Gabor nearly every day, but today I particularly remember all she had to offer the world and how she continues to be adored. I feel so lucky to have shared this planet with her.
