Bits of me

5 things that pretty much explain me: *I love to bake *I am not short but "fun size" *A new pair of shoes always helps *My family is a part of me *I am the oldest of 5 (So I like to be in charge) ALSO: Everything is better and worse when you turn 30 BUT I am SO glad my 20's are over!

Im in love with a dead guy.

One of my favorite things to do is to watch old movie (yes even black and whites). I love most of them. Give me a movie with either Cary Grant, Clark Gable, John Wayne, Gene Kelly, June Allyson, Maureen O'Hara or Doris Day (my list could go on and on) and Im all set. BUT my favorite man for the moment and I dont know if it will change is ......(drum roll please).....

VAN JOHNSON




Feel Free to check out some of his movies. I am sad to say dont own any of his movies myself but I thank my lucky stars for TCM! I am actually in the process of ordering Two girls and a Sailor which also stars June Allyson and Gloria DeHaven. That is one of my FAVORITES!!! He basically plays the boy next door and has an adorable smile. He also sings and plays the piano.


"Two Girls and a Sailor"


I would recomend to anyone wanting to watch a sweet love story to check out some of his movies. But beware old movies arent always so sweet and inocent.



Van Johnson movies I have seen:
The Bride Goes Wild (1948)
In the Good Old Summertime (1949)
Brigadoon (1954)
Miracle in the Rain (1956)
Yours, Mine and Ours (1968)
Miracle in the Rain (1956)

I hope to see more. I could have actually written this about many of the men of OLD HOLLYWOOD. I think they all had much, much more talent. So this is my salute to one of the great men of old movies.
