    Golden Era stars who died way before their time

    Thanks -- I looooooove Marjorie White! She was so cute and funny. She and El Brendel are my two favourites in Just Imagine (1930). They MAKE that movie :) She and Thelma Todd were two TRAGIC losses in 1935.

    What do you like the most about The Golden Era?

    I'm in this school. I'd go back to visit, but if they told me I couldn't come back because it would mess up space and time -- I'd stay right here. I am happy admiring from afar. :)

    What do you like the most about The Golden Era?

    I like the popular culture, the sociology and how it compares to today, and I love the aesthetics (hair, makeup, dresses, buildings, cars, furniture, art deco/moderne...etc!) The first thing that drew me to the "Golden Era" was a love of silent and pre-Code movies.

    Dialects/Accents in the Movies

    Adjusting to small town life.

    I lived in a small town for 31 years -- hated it. Moved to the city in 2007 and I feel way more at home here. City people are more accepting and friendly, in my experiences. In the small town I was nothing more than something they could gossip about because I like to dress different. And...

    Miscellaneous Vintage Photos

    Forgive me if there is already a post like this (I did search!), but I realised I have a lot of neat, miscellaneous vintage/vintage-related photos that really don't fit any of the threads here. So why not start a thread for those pictures? Anything vintage or vintage-related that you think...

    This is a question for the gals....

    The song is anything by Al Bowlly because I am somehow in England surrounded by hot English soldiers. He is tall, lanky, and has "classic" English looks with a large nose and large, far-set eyes. I find this English/European look to be so dreamy. Maybe that's why I married a Brit...;)

    Can you help me date this item??

    That's it!!! Fabulous! Wow! I wonder if we were the first people to go in the basement since the 60s! lol I wonder whose phone this was and where it was? This is why I love vintage so much -- I'll probably never know. Also, that heavy mismatch coil cord is lol!! Such a lovely thing and...

    Can you help me date this item??

    I "found" this bit of a phone last night. Does anyone have an idea of when it's from? I found it in the basement of my building, which was built in 1926. I know this isn't as old as that, though. I'm guessing as late as the 60s (???) The marble is really heavy. Where would something like...
