Mike's Movie Projector

2,000 POSTS DONE!, so I am posting less frequently, but will still be adding news, comments and photos.. As archived, its a ramble through my movie watching, music and old magazine store and discussing People We Like [Loren, Monroe, Vitti, Romy Schneider, Lee Remick, Kay Kendall, Anouk & Dirk Bogarde, Delon, Belmondo, Jean Sorel, Belinda Lee; + Antonioni, Hitchcock, Wilder, Minnelli, Cukor, Joni Mitchell, David Hockney etc]. As Pauline Kael wrote: "Art, Trash and the Movies"!

Marilyn's birthday

She would have been 91 today. This little magazine from 1958 (I would have been 12) was really my first exposure to the Monroe myth - how vividly I remember that red swimsuit cover, and couldn't wait to get to see HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE and all the other MMs then ....

Lots more MM at labels ...

Hi Mike. Thanks for sharing your magazine. Some great photos there of Marilyn. Happy birthday and R.I.P to a legend. Hard to imagine her aged 91. She brought so much joy to others, yet sadly had so little in her own life. Maddy

Hi Maddy, great to hear from you. Well I am sure MM had her happy moments too .... its just a shame her life was so short, though the movies and the images and books etc go on for ever.
