That’s truly lovely, Kelly. As much as I’m a fan of Garbo I’ve never seen her in “Camille.” I’ll always remember her in Queen Christina – and especially that iconic final scene when she stands as a silent figurehead at the bow of the ship bound for Spain. Sigh! She still inspires as she certainly did here. I’ll definitely have to see Camille now!

I came across it after watching the movie, and I knew I was going to use it one way or another. I haven't seen "Queen Christina", but I'll be looking out for it. She truly does inspire - I think it was that voice, that face, those eyes! Thanks Lisa!
I use to think of Jack Nickelson in his wild and wooly ways as something we both shared. The affinity understood, the poem elegant and the women, herself, shinning through all eternity.
I have to agree with Lydia. You seem to have a beautiful old soul and relate to those famous actresses of yore that were just one of a kind. Your words flow off the page and the image you create is simply breathtaking.

The long pencil skirts with the tapered jackets and the sophistication of wearing a hat with every outfit. Those were the days my grandmother told me about. Thanks so much for appreciating my effort - it means a lot to me!
