The highlight of today was meeting Glenn Fords grandson online!!! I cannot tell you how astonishing and pleasing that was to me. In this rather banal existence that i am currently creating.. it heartens me to come across a relation to that star of old..that gave me countless hours of eternal tv entertainment as I grew up. These are the real stars of old.. the stars of today do not impress me at all. They have no intrigue, star quality or mystique. The stars of old.. Monroe, Gable, Holden, Harlow, Hayworth, Lombard, Grable, Tierney, O'Connor, Kelly, Lemon, Lamarr, Wood, Dean, Lancaster, Bacall and more.. are such an INTEGRAL part of my being here on Earth. They are thoroughly soaked into my DNA and I simply would not be able to recall and recapitulate my life, without scanning over these icons that were so deeply embedded into my mind as a child and young woman. They are part of me in this lifetime..and to know one of these icons is still alive (for I thought he was dead!) and to talk to his descendant.. is quite exciting. I am happy to have had the experience..and very very touched.. no matter how it turns out.
Puts such a step in my walk.. Gene Kelly Style!!!! :)
