Elsa Lanchester


Film Noir Photos: On the Set: Elsa Lanchester:  on the set of "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935)





She never was pretty, but she knew how to make the best of her looks and personality. Well done, I would say.




Elsa with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Freddie Mercury





Today Freddie Mercury might have turned 69 years old. Strange to think of when one sees this slim and youthful character. Actually nothing is as strange as the fact that he is the same person as the baby we have seen portrayed with his doting mother. Had we seen photos of him as a 69 years old man he might have been by now that would put everything in perspective, but not explain what life and age is about ....

The Meaning of Life







In between you may learn a lot by the mistakes you make ....

A gift of love ....


I find this photo of a vintage worker - or an artisan? - carrying an expensive doll, presumably as a gift to a child he cares about so very touching. Obviously this man isn't rich and still he has got this doll for his daughter, sister or niece. Unless he has stolen it - which I chose to think not is the case - the expensive gift has cost him much out of his (presumably) meagre wages. That's beautiful and I love to think of the happiness he gives the child who receives this gift. Wonder what became of her - and of him .....

Weird .....







I really wonder at this gravesite. Most likely this is a very old grave, but still, why didn't anyone stop that tree from erupting out of the grave? It can't have gotten this big without shooting up through the dead person in the grave. Didn't anyone love the deceased or were all his or her relatives dead too and no one else felt obliged to protect the dead man or woman?
