She's definitely smart (and more emotionally mature than he is), but I feel for her--she can't help loving him, both pre- and post-Madeleine.

John Ferren did the painting of Carlotta; apparently its fate after filming is unknown.

(If I stumbled across it in somebody's attic or at a garage sale, I'm sure Herrmann's "necklace" theme would fire up in my brain at first sight.😄)

I've always thought my grandmother favored Barbara Bel Geddes in the face (and my grandfather, especially when he was younger than he was here, favored Andy Griffith a bit).

The next town over had an organized No Kings protest—I figured traffic and schedules wouldn’t allow me to attend. But I was able to find a spontaneous protest at one of the main intersections in my town. I hung out a bit with some fine folks (borrowing a sign) and waved back at the cars honking.

Until she pulled her necklace down, I was thinking "What kind of orthodontic terrors did they have in the 50s?"😂

Per Wikipedia, the PCA stated: "It will be absolutely essential to remove any flavor... that Ellen plans to murder the unborn child merely because she is misshapen." (1)

Plus: My prescription sunglasses look similar.

Minus: I look nothing remotely like Gene Tierney in them.
