Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson in "Mrs. Miniver."
Carole Lombard's beautifully haunting Life magazine cover, that I am honored to have in my personal magazine collection.
A woman whom I consider to be one of the most beautiful to ever grace the screen, the magnificent Gene Tierney.
The ending of “Some Like it Hot” is one of the best – Jack Lemmon’s lines and the way he played them – Joe E. Brown’s wonderful last line – and that final bit of tango music to add an exclamation point – brilliant. One of the great comedies of all time.
Perfect! Some like it Hot is one of the funniest endings I’ve ever seen in a Jack Lemmon movie!
