During that same 1978 visit to Provence, Richard Kalvar took this wonderful shot of a third great Magnum photographer, HCB's wife & Mélanie's mother, Martine Franck.

A nun in front of an advertising poster for "Vedette", representing la Mère Denis, 1974. The Magnum caption says the nun is "an Henri Cartier-Bresson look-alike" - I'm assuming that's Kalvar's joke. And a good one it is!

The Magnum caption: "Smart enough to smoke and chew gum at the same time." Again, I'm assuming this is Kalvar's caption work.
Time for another cup of coffee! ☕️

Celebrate the Veronica Lake Centennial 🎂💯
📷 George Hurrell, 1941
"I never did cheesecake like Ann Sheridan or Betty Grable. I just used my hair." Image
Veronica Lake was so good in Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels, 1941.
I was absurdly pleased to find out this outfit was designed by Edith Head, who did the costumes for the film. Great shot by Talmadge Morrison, the on set still photographer

A lovely shot by Talmadge Morrison of Joel McCrea & Veronica Lake, in Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, 1941
It must have been a relief for Edith Head to move on to this scene.

Celebrate the Oskar Werner Centennial 🎂
With François Truffaut on the set of Fahrenheit 451
📷 Philippe Halsman, 1966
Though star & director did not get along on a very unhappy set, as @tnyfrontrow says, "... the film remains audaciously surprising even now."
Oskar Werner by Philippe Halsman, 1966
"To me the stage is sculpture. Films are like a painted poster, spread out on a one-dimensional surface."
Oskar Werner & Henri Serre on the set of François Truffaut's Jules et Jim
📷 Raymond Cauchetier, 1962
"Jules and Jim is one of those rare films that knows how fast audiences can think, & how emotions contain their own explanations."

Remembering Mose Allison on his birthday 🎂
📷 Jack Vartoogian, 1998
"In the South, I’m considered an advanced bebop type. In New York, I’m considered a country blues-folk type. Actually, I don’t think I’m either. Maybe I’m a little of both."

Mose Allison by Ebet Roberts, 1989
"He established himself playing & singing in a gentle, understated way, in a narrow range & using a bouncing, jigging rhythm that was closely related to the so-called 'swamp music' that Jimmy Giuffre was playing."
- John S. Wilson Image
Mose Allison by Michael Wilson
"There's a lot of terrible things goin' on all the time, but you gotta try and have some fun in the end."
