Is the guy you’re crushing on Tarkin from Star Wars? That’s actually awesome 😭

Oh, let me introduce you to the lovely Peter Cushing.

Many know him as rat bastard, Tarkin. (we'll talk about my love for the hot/sexy morally grey or straight up bastard villains later -- and he is one)

Those of us fans of the Hammer horror films and old school Hollywood LOVE this man for his iconic roles such as --

Van Helsing in Dracula (with equally iconic Christopher Lee)

Victor Frankenstein (my beloved) --

One of the best Sherlock Holmes ever on film (suck it Benedryl Cabbagepatch)

Not to mention a massive catalog of films for one actor. He is a sweetheart and angel irl and literally a LEGEND.

The Great Greta Garbo

Glamorous, compelling, and ever so famous was the iconic movie star, Greta Garbo. She graced Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s with films like “Wild Orchids” and “The Kiss.” Altogether, she starred in thirty-three films and captivated men and women alike.

Greta was born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905 in Stockholm, Sweden and died April 15, 1990 in New York City at the age of 84 to pneumonia. Her childhood was that of poverty where her family lived in the slums. Her father was an itinerant laborer and didn’t earn much money to give his family the life he wanted for them to have. When Greta was old enough to work, she took various positions to help ease the strain of supporting the family.

One fateful day, film director Erik Petschler saw Greta and was mesmerized with her beauty after seeing her in a commercial advertising women’s clothing and he offered her a small role in his 1922 film “Peter the Tramp.” She was bitten by the acting bug and she started school at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm. She landed a major role in a 1925 Swedish movie “Gösta Berlings Saga” (The Saga of Gösta Berling). The director, Mauritz Stiller changed her birth name to Garbo as he felt it was fitting and becoming for her unique beauty. Seeing her potential, he negotiated with MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) Studios in Hollywood and secured her a contract. Louis B. Mayer had doubts about Greta’s screen performance until the release of her first American 1926 film “The Torrent.” Her lustrous glow and the fluidity of how she moved impressed Mayer so much so that he gave her an exclusive contract.

1930’s “Anna Christie” was Greta’s first sound film. The movie was marketed with “Garbo talks!” She would earn three Oscar nominations for best actress for her performances in “Anna Christie,” “Camille,” and for “Ninotchka.” She never did win, but she did receive an Honorary Academy Award in 1955. She won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best actress for her performance in 1935’s Anna Karenina. Her last film was “Two-Faced Woman” in 1941 and it received bad reviews that greatly humiliated her. Her acting life halted despite offers for other films after the movie flop.

Greta never married nor did she have children. Her first romance was with her often co-Star John Gilbert. In her latter years, she had a relationship with Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. It’s rumored that she had an affair with Russian-born millionaire George Schlee, stealing him from his wife. It’s specualted that Greta was bisexual, some would claim she was predominantly lesbian, but no one could confirm that. Though she appeared in events, she disliked the feeling uncomfortable acting like a socialite because it wasn’t who she was.

Greta would live the remainder of her life in a New York City apartment. She was an honored guest in the White House and She received treatment for breast cancer and would have dialysis treatment at a local hospital where she would later die from pneumonia. She will always be regarded as one of the most beautiful and graceful women that gifted us with her talent.

Until next time, Aloha oe.

Cary Grant during production of the Universal Pictures/Stanley Donen romantic comedy mystery, “Charade,” (1963).

Grant turned 59 years old during filming, and displayed a sensitivity about the age difference between his 33 year old co-star, Audrey Hepburn and him.

Charade was kind of a cinematic extravaganza covering three genres (comedy, romance, and thriller), featuring a supporting cast of leading actors in their own right(Coburn, Kennedy, Marin & Matthau) with music by Henry Mancini and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

Charade’s director Stanley Donen already had under his belt (in collaboration with Gene Kelly) the films On the Town (1949), Singin' in the Rain, and It's Always Fair Weather (1955), and other films on his own that include Royal Wedding (1951), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), and Funny Face (1957).
