How much did you remember about her? Did you know that she costarred with the guy pictured above in the 1957’s romantic saga, An Affair To Remember? Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant also made two other pictures together: 1953’s Dream Wife and 1960’s The Grass Is Greener. Were they considered a nifty screen couple? Ah, questions, […]
She was equally at home playing the whore…… ….and playing the nun. And, she had the distinction of being nominated for the best actress Oscar a total of six times, and never winning. (Her sole Oscar win was an honorary one, awarded in 1994 citing her “impeccable grace and beauty.”) Yes, we are talking about […]
Not all of the exclusive photos we bring you are from our Donald Gordon Collection. The above snapshot of Lana Turner was shared with us by our friend, and Lana aficionado, Lou Valentino. It’s of Lana later in her then still thriving career. Must say, she looks great. This shot was captured about two […]
A truism among classic movie fans — one that has been endorsed in our blogs here — is that 1939 was Hollywood’s best movie year ever. With all due respect to Gone With The Wind and that year’s many other superb titles, a good case can be made that 1950 ranks every bit as […]

Yes, this guy is some exotic dude. He was indeed an unlikely star, first in England and then in the U.S. Billed simply as Sabu he remains to this day one of the very few India-born actors ever to cross over to mainstream Hollywood success. He died early — days after being declared completely healthy […]
Yup. He did. Above is one such of Donald Gordon’s snapshots. Can you identify this French star who escaped the Nazis during World War II, came to Hollywood to make movies — and to pose demurely for Donald’s camera? Some clues: — She is still considered one of the greatest screen and stage actresses in […]
He was once the hottest song and dance man on the silver screen. His many hit films with Betty Grable…. …made them one of the screen’s top duos. And, he had a grin that matched her legs — it wouldn’t quit. But that grin was deceiving. Dan Dailey, born in New York City in 1915, […]
Here’s another informal snapshot from the Donald Gordon Collection….Can you identify this guy? He was known as the best dressed man in the movies. In fact his haberdashery along with his political affiliations and patriotic zeal may have overshadowed his acting career.
