Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day -- September 19, 2013

For a long time, the movies of Marion Davies were hard to find for a long time, and people got her mixed up with the character Susan Alexander in Citizen Kane. Actually, Davies was a talented actress. I have enjoyed all the movies in which I have seen her. I think she is dressed as a pirate in this image. 

Today is also the 100th birthday of actress Frances Farmer.  She is more famous for her difficult life than for her acting.  I made sure to choose a photo where she looked happy.
