With the Oscars tonight, numerous Academy Awards photographs are popping up on the internets :) today.
This one of Elizabeth Taylor at the 1961 Academy Awards caught my eye. (she won best actress that year for 'Butterfield 8') I was surprised to see a prominent scar on her throat that I have never noticed before. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/8wHf3t.jpg http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...es-Oscars.html I thought it might be something on the negative, so I found another photograph from the same night and sure enough there it is plain as day. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/60pbpV.jpg http://www.jewelsdujour.com/2014/03/...s-of-all-time/ Does anyone know, is this a tracheotomy scar? I just can't believe I've never noticed it before. & good for her for not feeling the need to hide it. __ |

Yes, the scar added to her fame... I think she had pneumonia and a tracheotomy became necessary. Apparently just before the '61 Oscars... she recovered fast. (I think some people thought she won as much for her travails over the years as her performance in Butterfield 8...) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F...2520PM.bmp.jpgLAT March 5, 1961 |
:previous: Thanks GW. I was under the impression Ms. Taylor's major health issues happened much later in her life.
She looks so stunning (and healthy!) in the photographs that it's hard to believe she had been so terribly sick only months before. _ |
Yesterday I happened across a group of rare negatives featuring 'Bronco Pictures'. [1910, 1911]
Below is the photographer's information that was found with the negatives. F.M. Wallett (or is it Hallett?) 3302 Emmet Street, L.A. Cal. "Home Evenings only; 7 to 9" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/921/471Oz3.jpg :previous: I like how he included directions to his photography studio. (I couldn't find an Emmet Street in today's gsv. -only an Emmet 'Terrace'. I believe a majority of his 'bronco pictures' were taken near Chutes Park south of downtown.(we've visited the area several times on NLA) below: This is the first one I came across (they're being sold separately). #1 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/kBRNVB.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/c1911-Origin...3D131721227567 #2 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/p2oSQO.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/c1911-Orig-4...3D131728268391 #3 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/921/nnJsSx.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/c1911-Orig-4...3D151984094869 below: I like the little shack in the corner, inside the fence. #4 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/HAjPTS.jpg eBay below: Here we see half a church. #5 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/v3SKmk.jpg eBay below: Is that the 'Chute-the-Chutes' tower along the left border? (the fence appears different here than in the preceding 5 pictures) #6 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/KENQBU.jpg ebay below: I believe that might be amusement park 'Swings' in the distance. #7 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/vlEU4f.jpg ebay :previous: this fence matches the fence in photo #6. (I believe it's higher than the fence in photos #1 thru #5, also it's lighter in color & doesn't have the diagonal supports) so...this might be a different venue than what appears in #1 thru 5. *I didn't include the links with ea. photograph because some are already missing on eBay. -sorry __ |

Elizabeth Taylor was a pack-a-day smoker – despite the fact that she was recovering from 1961 pneumonia and a tracheotomy that had seriously delayed a movie’s production and almost cost Elizabeth her life. Her numerous medical problems were exacerbated by her constant smoking. Years ago I had a seriously broken arm [fractured in 7 places from bike accident. I hit a steel post, flew off the bike and into a fence]. The VA doctor told me that if I smoked, the broken bone may never heal. Her one-time husband Eddie Fisher came to my high school and sang a song at our assembly. He was not well received due to his recent divorce from Debbie Reynolds. I recall there was a lot of dark gossip about him at the school. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psjeeb8wzh.jpg EPA |

NB. This area is covered by two different plates of the Baist map. I've done my best to merge them. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...t.jpg~original www.historicmapworks.com/www.historicmapworks.com Freeman M Hallett is listed as a photographer in the contemporary City Directories, but his home address isn't given as 3302 Emmet Street until 1912. He worked for Putnam & Valentine, a photographers who were at 208 N Spring Street. |

First-- Is it just my computer, or are many more pictures missing from the thread? I noticed that many of HossC's images are not visible, though they seem to come and go. The missing ones appear to be those posted through Imageshack. Missing images are common in long-ago posts, but disappearances seem to be occurring in much more recent ones. Another Imageshack item is the recent one of ER's seen above-- I came across the image below, which reminded me of the Epstein tailor shop, but couldn't compare due to ER's missing picture. The photo below came from LA City History and has these notations: dated 9-17-32... while the site says this is a shot on Park View Street, I noticed the sliver of building in the background, which made me wonder if this is actually Wilshire... is the apt building the Wellington, as discussed in conjunction with Epstein's tailor shop? (See post 33576) Can you resuscitate your Epstein picture, ER? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V...2520AM.bmp.jpg |

I'll email their tech support again, but I don't know if it will help. Are any other Photobucket users noticing problems? |

HossC-- I realize now that you use Photobucket and that ER uses Imageshack (which you can see when you right-click images, or even the small icon in place of a missing image) and click "open image in new tab"... so it's not just Photobucket, it seems. |

There seems to be no consistent pattern to the problems. Sometimes images will display in Google Chrome but not Firefox. Sometimes it's the other way around, and sometimes images won't display with either browser. Then again, sometimes an image that has "disappeared" will reappear. Sometimes there's a little image icon in place of the image, and sometimes there isn't. My first thought was that the problem lies with Photobucket, but perhaps it's really with Skyscraper Forum? |

The print on this postcard reads "Academy Award Theater, Hollywood, California," but technically it should read West Hollywood. I'd never really known the exact whereabouts of this place until Sopas did a great post with a lot of photos from the 1949 Oscars showing the exterior of this place. Quote:
:previous: Yes, I wanted to see that post (I mentioned above) again, Post #6301, and sadly discovered that all fifteen of the images he had posted (through Imageshack) are now missing. :( |
Can you guess which recently discussed Wurdeman & Becket building is under construction in these 1947 Julius Shulman images?
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original There's a bigger clue in this shot. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Did you guess? This is "Job 141: Wurdeman & Becket, General Petroleum Building, Construction (Los Angeles, Calif.),1947". Both from Getty Research Institute |

I've just checked another fairly recent post of mine, and only one of four images showed. I tried opening the post in a new tab so that no other images were being downloaded, but still only one image showed. The message "Transferring data from i809.photobucket.com..." made it look like forum was trying to show the others, but not succeeding. When I accessed the second image on its own, it showed straight away, so I refreshed the whole post, and all four images appeared. I think this is a Photobucket issue. Last month their whole site was down for maintenance for a day or so. That was after giving me excuses, and saying my issues were restricted to a small number of users. I've still been having occasional problems since then, but much less frequently than over Christmas. My earlier email to Photobucket's tech support got an automated response telling me to check things which I've already checked, and which are not related to the problems I'm having. I'll reply to that and see if I get anywhere. |

Some are worse than others. BifRayRock's pics are notorious for displaying incorrectly or not at all, and even when they have just been posted, sopas_ej's images almost never show up when I view his entries. To see his pics, I have to click on 'Quote', then find the image links, and copy/paste the URLs one-by-one into my browser. But, like you say, now even that doesn't work, and I only get the 404 error. :shrug: |
Pueblo Oratorio
I wasn't aware the Chapman Hotel & Bungalows had a private chapel somewhere on it's grounds. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/kroD1E.jpg http://www.ebay.it/itm/CPSM-INTERIOR...kAAOSwAKxWUBvr Here's a second postcard I found that mentions the Pueblo Oratorio. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...910/a42QC7.jpg eBay Does anyone know where the chapel was located on the hotel grounds? __ |

Here's the resuscitated photograph GW. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/UxlgXm.jpg Pencil inscription on reverse: "S. Side Wilshire, East of Loomis Sept 18 1926" Epstein Bros. Tailor Shop on the left. __ |

When the source changes their format that will cause that image to do wonky things like not appear at all....or ever. I've never had any problem with Photobucket....yet. :) :previous: |
