Ope. Wrong Nash's can. On closer look, the coffee can Frances used to foil a robbery was a one pound can of Nash's Toasted Coffee, with "Coffee" written in script. Same vintage, circa 1930s.
Follow me for more tips on how to pursue tiny details to reveal their ultimate irrelevance.

The weapon used by Frances Farr was identified as a one pound can of Nash’s Regular Grind Coffee, a product of Nash Coffee Company, Saint Paul Minnesota

Currently slogging through the slough of despair and in need of a thoughtful, intricate, beautifully-written book.
Thanks, Benjamin.

RIP Thomas Perry

#BOTD in 1898, my birthday twin, the divine Shirley Booth. In About Mrs. Leslie (1954) she makes us absolutely believe that industrialist Robert Ryan would fall in love with witty cabaret singer Shirley and they would conduct a clandestine affair for 7 years leading up to WWII. Acting!
I love it 😍

#BOTD in 1906, my other favorite birthday twin, the glorious Joan Blondell. 💖
I love her in everything, but 2 movies in particular: Golddiggers of 1933, and Desk Set (of 1957.)
