My Classic Hollywood Alphabet

Hi there!

Recently, Meredith of the super wonderful blog Forever Classics (it's also in my blog roll, so check it out) did her Classic Hollywood actor alphabet. A few other classic movie blogs have done the same, and I totally love the idea so I thought I'd give it a try.

Before I start, I got a BUNCH of Old Hollywood books over the past week or so (Rianna must not go to the bookstore for at least another month. Rianna must not. She mustn't...). I thought I'd start from the shortest biography and move my way up, so I'm reading "Jean Arthur: The Actress Nobody Knew" right now. But a lot of the other biographies are looking tempting - Ava's especially - so I would really appreciate if you could vote in the poll and let me know what you think I ought to read (and review) next. Thank you :)

Also, if you've been keeping up with FranklyMyDearTV on Youtube, you'll see that I've done a couple of tribute videos that I haven't shared here yet. I just finished one this morning and thought it would be nice to share:


I'm really mad because I couldn't get everyone in that video that I wanted to get in, but anyhow, it's a Classic Hollywood tribute set to "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. Hope you enjoy.

Well, in the words of Porky Pig, that's all for now, folks!...

And don't forget to vote in my poll!

PS: I'm not tagging any of the twenty-six actors in this because Blogger won't let me tag them all!
