Where’s the chubby one who’s been single for 8 years because the gay community acts like aspbergers is as bad as AIDS was in about 1988?

Remember when you could comment on relationship status updates? Zuckerberg is slowly fucking over his website. How much you wanna bet it turns into an advertisement/spam robot-riddled dump like myspace did? :|

In 1954, Garland filmed a musical remake of the 1937 film A Star is Born for Warner Bros. She and her third husband, Sid Luft (whom she had married in 1952) produced the film through their production company, Transcona Enterprises, while Warner Bros. supplied the funds, production facilities, and crew. Directed by George Cukor and costarring James Mason, it was a large undertaking to which she initially fully dedicated herself.
As shooting progressed, however, she began making the same pleas of illness which she had so often made during her final films at MGM. Production delays led to cost overruns and angry confrontations with Warner Bros. head Jack Warner. Principal photography wrapped on March 17, 1954. At Luft’s suggestion, the “Born in a Trunk” medley was filmed as a showcase for her and inserted over director Cukor’s objections, who feared the additional length would lead to cuts in other areas. It was completed on July 29.
Upon its September 29, 1954 world premiere, the film was met with tremendous critical and popular acclaim. Before release, it was edited at the instruction of Jack Warner; theater operators, concerned that they were losing money because they were only able to run the film for three or four shows per day instead of five or six, pressured the studio to make additional reductions. About 30 minutes of footage was cut, sparking outrage among critics and filmgoers. A Star is Born ended up losing money, and the secure financial position Garland had expected from the profits did not materialize. Transcona made no more films with Warner.
Garland was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and, in the run-up to the 27th Academy Awards, was generally expected to win. She could not attend the ceremony because she had just given birth to her son, Joseph Luft, so a television crew was in her hospital room with cameras and wires to televise her anticipated acceptance speech. The Oscar was won, however, by Grace Kelly for The Country Girl (1954). The camera crew was packing up before Kelly could even reach the stage. Groucho Marx sent her a telegram after the awards ceremony, declaring her loss “the biggest robbery since Brinks”. TIME magazine labeled her performance as “just about the greatest one-woman show in modern movie history”. Garland won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical for the role.

Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in “Charade”. :D

Leo Fuchs manages to capture Audrey Hepburn looking unaffected by the 130-degree heat of the Belgian Congo. Unlike some of her co-stars who suffered heatstrokes, Audrey credited her nun’s habit with protecting her from the heat during filming. She did, however succumb to a terrible case of kidney stones upon returning to Rome to finish the arduous 132-day shoot. Once fully recovered, Audrey finished The Nun’s Story and was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance as Sister Luke. Photographed in 1958.

You’ll be able to see an actual Automat machine at our new exhibition, Lunch Hour NYC, opening June 22!!
Automat, 977 Eighth Avenue, Manhattan. by New York Public Library on Flickr.
Man takes pie out of Automat, stone counters and walls below metal and glass display.
On the other side of the wall was a kitchen. These were like giant vending machines except everything was MUCH fresher and there was more variety.
