PAUL NEWMAN - 12 pack of beer a day for decades, chain smoked, no ‘morning routine’, no supplements, no fasting, no ice baths, no journaling. Lived artistically and handsome as fuck to the ripe old age of 83.

What makes photos of MARILYN MONROE on location during the troubled shoot of THE MISFITS (1961) even more tragic is that although her mental health was hanging by a thread in what would be her last completed Film, she was at her most iridescently beautiful.

On July 13, 1977 - New York City was plunged into darkness. Trains screeched to a halt, airports were shut down and baseball games were forced to postpone. For 24hrs NY was a virtual ghost town & looters paradise.

GOODFELLAS (1990) As much as the painting might seem like it was dreamed up by the filmmakers, in fact it was based on a photograph by Adam Woolfitt from the November 1978 issue of National Geographic, where it was part of a feature on the River Shannon in Ireland.

As he was born 84yrs ago today here’s four reasons why I really liked CHARLIE WATTS 1. He put an ‘Open’ sign on his kit when he drummed 2. He once punched Jagger for calling him ‘my Drummer’ 3. As a Drummer he was tight as fuck 4. His Fulham Town Hall live album is a joy
