Rare Photos of Marilyn Monroe

Posted on by

The photo above is just one of 25 rarely seen photos of Marilyn Monroe that Julien’s Auction House is selling.  The photos come from the private collection of Ms. Monroe’s long time makeup artist and personal confidant, Allan “Whitey” Snyder.

It’s hard to believe if Marilyn Monroe was still alive she’d be almost 86 years old.  Instead of growing old, Marilyn Monroe will remain an ageless icon.  Whitey Snyder captured that beauty in those rare pictures [a couple of which were taken on location when Ms. Monroe was filming River of No Return with Robert Mitchum].

Have you seen the rare home movie footage of The Three Stooges filmed in 1938 at Steel Pier in Atlantic City that was edited to make it appear as one of their shorts?  If you have it’s worth viewing again, and if you haven’t why not take a look?

The Three Stooges at the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, New Jersey — July 1, 1938. Film by George Mann of the comedy dance team, Barto and Mann. George Mann and his wife Barbara Bradford also appear in the film.

A tip ‘o the derby, and a nyuck-nyuck-nyuck to Mark Evanier for the original link.

Posted on by

Sly Stallone is set to star in a remake of No Rest for the Wicked. The original was an award-winning film made in Spain.  In a recent interview Stallone described No Rest for the Wicked…

  • “…a wonderful film that was done in Spain, No Rest for the Wicked. It’s hard-core, in the Bad Lieutenant mode…”

Sly will play…

  • Burned-out cop Santos Trinidad who visits a lonely nightclub for a last drink. After a seemingly trivial incident with the owner, he ends up shooting him, his bodyguard and a waitress in a fit of rage. Only one witness escapes with his life. Santos destroys all evidence linking him to the shooting and tries to track down the witness. In the process, he uncovers an Islamist cell planning a terrorist attack.

All I want to know is where is the line to buy a ticket?
