Summertime in Hollywood

We're heading off for a few days of vacation in the Eastern High Sierras!

While I'm away you can follow my Twitter account for trip photos -- I plan to photograph Tim Holt Street in Lone Pine and the locations of Jacques Tourneur's NIGHTFALL (1957) in Bridgeport, among other things! I'll also be posting trip photos here when I return.

I'll resume regular posting early next week, including a look at TCM in July and a review of the new Warner Archive Blu-ray release of KISMET (1955). In the meantime, here are some wonderful summery shots of classic film stars enjoying the season.

Beautiful Debra Paget ready for a canoe ride:

Robert Taylor and pal ready to go fishing:

And little Margaret O'Brien dipping her toes in the surf:

It's nice to note that Debra Paget, Nancy Olson, and Margaret O'Brien are all still with us today.
