The North By Northwest lady was Nora Marlowe (who was married to James McCallion, an unfamiliar name, but he also was on numerous TV series episodes). It's interesting to look over the many single-episode credits these actresses had in TV series of the 1950-1970s! Westerns, Sci-Fi, Comedy, etc. etc. I began to list them to include here, but there are so very very many... |

My Grandmother worked at Bullocks Downtown, sometime in 1957 she started working for the Candy Family. The first house she worked at for the Candy's was located on San Vincente in Santa Monica/Brentwood area. She also help keep the Apartment the Candy's had on Wilshire near the LA Country Club. The last location of the Candy's was in Malibu. Walter Candy (Mr. Candy) was the President of the I-Magnin/Bullocks chain. He married Kate Winnett, who's father P.G. was co-founder of Bullock's.
As a kid i always wondered why our luggage had the initials KWC, i was told it was Granny's Luggage which just got me even more confused. Well it seems when the Candy's passed away in the mid 70's, Granny was responsible for the estate as the Candy's didn't have kids. We still have the full set of Mrs. Candy Louis Vuitton Luggage (and one Hartman piece belonging to Mr. Candy) that was purchased at Bullock's Wilshire.. and i do travel with it. https://i.postimg.cc/RZ9fmbFx/032.jpg Candy's Butler and Granny at Malibu Estate [IMG][url=https://postimages.org/]https://i.postimg.cc/kGR1qT7K/034.jpg[/IMG] Aunt Delores doing her Nurse Training at the Candy's https://i.postimg.cc/X7HfQf30/028.jpg Mrs. Candy liked to drink and Granny became more of a paid friend (think Driving Mrs. Daisy)/ caregiver. She tried to get Mrs. Candy to move to the Duplex on Spaulding (only 5 miles away from Bullocks Wilshire) but the permit didn't go through. https://i.postimg.cc/d0TgqQnL/045.jpg Mr. and Mrs. Candy Malibu Mrs. Candy https://i.postimg.cc/dtk2N70k/035.jpg Granny working https://i.postimg.cc/6Q3nRTFp/037.jpgimage uploading https://i.postimg.cc/7ZQbF9Qq/036.jpg and last because i mentioned him earlier, P.G.

All of the Lassie collie dogs in the TV series were actually male. Here's why. Because female collies tend to "blow coat" (go through a massive hormone-induced shedding process) with each fertility cycle. While males blow coat as well in reaction to a change in season, it is much less noticeable than what occurs with an intact female. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/82/fd/84/8...2ee18020c1.jpg 1955 - CBS One Fall day I riding my bike backstage at a local LA parade, when I suddenly came face to face with Tommy Rettig [above w/Lassie boy], much to my surprise, as I had no idea he was there. Tommy Rettig quote. ''When I found out it was my last season [1957] on "Lassie" I was ecstatic. I had gotten to the point where I really resented not being able to go out except on Saturday nights. Of course, when I did date girls their parents always trusted me because of my goody-goody TV image. The fools!'' His small size, 5'4'', made adult movie roles almost impossible to obtain. He was a brilliant computer software programmer and wrote several books on the topic. |

Didn't the woman who played "Phyllis" in the Mary Tyler Moore show (Cloris Leachman) play his (Rettig's) mom in "Lassie"? The 1960s Lassie mom was June Lockhart. I recall that Rettig also played a role in a film with Robert Mitchum & Marilyn Monroe called "The River of No Return" or something similar. He played Mitchum's son and Marilyn was a showgirl. All 3 went down the Snake River on a raft and all 3 hit it off. The Lassie boy got to meet Marilyn! Love to hear Rettig tell Marilyn stories and Mitchum stories. Bet he has a lot of stories. Marilyn Mitchum...that would have been a power couple. But Mitch probably didn't want to p.o. Joe D. Noirishers have a Happy T'giving. |
Cool menus, Martin. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone as well. :)
Have any of you noirisher heard of the Sweet and Lowe Convalescent Home? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/reKICH.jpg eBay The name "Sweet and Lowe" doesn't ring any bells....It's unique enough I think I would have remembered it. There is something written in white at the very bottom of the photograph. (no doubt from the negative) Here is the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/rIxooe.jpg April 20, 1912 The writer's house is being moved.... There was alot of house moving going on in Los Angeles back in the day. . |

mystery location This amazing rppc of an apartment building in Los Angeles was just listed on eBay. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/sXESO1.jpg eBay Here is the reverse. (postmark 1915) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/zl0MzN.jpg I believe the long, underlined word at the bottom, on the right side, might be the name of the apt. building. I was curious about what was going on streetside. Let's take a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/Jn88Be.png detail hmm. . .I guess the diagonal board has nothing to do with the pipes on the ground. The little bridge made me think of the zanjas that used to supply water. My guess is; they're planning on burying the pipes to replace the 'open air' zanja. Or maybe that isn't a zanja at all. . .it might just be a slight ditch. :shrug: And. . .hmm. . .the diagonal board, that appears to be attached to a wire, is stabilizing the tree. (?) . |

The street is old - it's on pre-1900 maps of the area. Maybe Zanja and Washington Blvd were open trenches in the 19th Century?? https://larry.wizegallery.com/VWV/zanja.jpg Google Maps - hosted by me |
