Thank you! Had never seen this portrait. It is to be regretted his beautiful red hair had turned grey/white by the time he made color movies.

Arnold Stang-surprisingly quite a bit more attractive in person, especially if you like men in high water chinos and plain white tennis shoes with no socks, which I do.

I can’t recommend the biography of Barbara Stanwyck highly enough. The only downside is it’s only up till about 1940 or so. But a work of magnificent scholarship and insight

I love this picture so much. It’s perhaps the most real picture of a movie star Ive ever seen.

I love him in anything at all-wish he’d done more dancing on film than just the moments in Cheaper by the Dozen and Sitting Pretty

What I also find intriguing is unlike ebooks, which appeal to people who are already readers, audio has pulled many people in who never sat down. with a book, for a host of reasons. So it’s a “new” market for publishers rather than an alternative.

I can’t quite you exact figures but I believe the contracts with Kindle and Audible are also less than for a printed book by quite a bit. Audio fastest growing sector of publishing. Audio is also much closer to parity of use by male/female than “read” books.

Although audiobooks are obviously a wonderful thing, be aware Spotify trying to do with books what they did with music-make them all available cheaply. Authors will get pennies. Luckily real books still exist.

Wait till you hear them going off on Fred Rogers. I had a boss who told me she would never ever let her son watch him as it would make him “soft”. I felt deeply sorry for that boy.

It has that rare quality of creating a world you want to hang out in-sort of like Andy Griffith or The Mary Tyler Moore Show or even Gilmore Girls. Very hard to do.
