Another reminder to mark your calendar for Sunday, March 27: the new HBO
Mildred Pierce
premieres. You've got some mighty big shoes to fill, Miss Winslet.
But first (in the automotive spirit of recent posts), Glendale, 1945:

Albert Pierce's 1936 DeSoto Airstream in front of what Veda deemed a shack. (I'd kill for
that shack.)
Global warming: palm trees on Long Island. Well, not exactly, but they've actually put
palms
in the ground at the Woolworth house in Glove Cove to pass it off as Monte and
Mildred Beragon's Pasadena mansion in the new version...are these the right
kind of palms? (All eyes are going to be on this new version....)

Well, it looks suitably seedy here--you can see that the Beragons were definitely in
queer street before Mildred got her hands on it....
And back to 1945:

I never noticed that Mildred's base of operations was at her Beverly Hills unit. That's Veda
pulling out in her brand new Buick--the one with "VP" on the door.
