For Life magazine, October 20, 1970
Here's the first page of the Life magazine story about Sally Kellerman. "Everybody calls me Hot Lips. Nobody even knows my name," she's quoted in the story. And then they give it the headline "New-found fame for 'Hot Lips'".
My mistake: this was in February 5, 1971 issue #RIP

Celebrate the Margaret Leighton Centennial 🎂💯
📷 Cecil Beaton, 1956
Leighton was such a fine actor that in 1962 she & Anthony Quinn showed up on The Ed Sullivan Show in a Betty Comden & Adolph Green sketch which involved reading from the telephone book.
I love this shot of Margaret Leighton by fashion photographer Louis Faurer, for Vogue, 1962 #MargaretLeighton100

Remembering Betty Hutton on her birthday 🎂
📷 William Grimes, c. 1940
“The more you watch her, the more she appeals, with her naïve belief that she can blast you into appreciation. And as the years, and films, go by, she actually starts to act.”
- David Thomson
Betty Hutton & Eddie Bracken, with a big subset of Preston Sturges's stock company, in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, 1943.
Here's one of the greatest of all movie cast photos, but there's unfortunately no photographer credit.
Betty Hutton & Eddie Bracken are superb in Preston Sturges's The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. Two great energetic performances, but both are touchingly vulnerable as well. One of the funniest scripts in Hollywood history.
Remembering Tony Randall on his birthday 🎂
📷 Ralph Crane, 1960
"One wouldn't blame him for a hint of disdain for many of the lines he has had to speak, the predicaments to be endured. There has never been any such hint. He somehow civilizes the material.
- John Leonard

BTW The Jack Klugman Centennial is coming up in a couple of months. Start stockpiling cigars.
Oscar & Felix, one more time
Jack Klugman & Tony Randall did a one-night-only revival of The Odd Couple to raise funds for Randall's theater company. I wish I'd been there!

Remembering Jackie Gleason on his birthday 🎂
📷 Earl Leaf, 1955
"Everybody is insecure to a degree. My business is composed of a mass of crisis. It all adds up to the manufacturing of insecurity."
Jackie Gleason with Audrey Meadows & Art Carney in The Honeymooners

Remembering Johnny Cash on his birthday 🎂
📷 Andy Earl, 1994
"Johnny Cash was a country musician who was too big for country music, and his work as artist, humanitarian, and patron of songs and songwriters will endure indefinitely."
- Adam Sweeting
Graham Nash's shot from Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash rehearsing for the Johnny Cash Show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, May 1, 1969
"I thought the image itself was cool, even though it was a damaged negative."
Johnny Cash & Gordon Lightfoot by Jim Marshall, 1969
Cash's amazing version of "If You Could Read My Mind", from his album American V: A Hundred Highways, released in 2006.
Happy birthday Neil Jordan 🎂
📷 Trevor Leighton, 1984
"He has a Maupassant-like taste for consequences that is torn between being unexpected and giving warning hints of destiny or fate."
- David Thomson
