I'm deeply saddened by the news of Lynne Marie Stewart's passing. A character actor with an impressive and exhaustive resume, I had the honor of doing a stage show with her a few years ago. As talented as she was kind, her beauty extended beyond Puppet Land and into the hearts of all she touched.

In honour of Nina Simone’s birthday today, here is one of the most remarkable performances I’ve ever seen. Calling it a “performance “ does it an injustice. She is not performing, she is LIVING this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHZR...

Remembering Raymond Queneau on his birthday 🎂 📷 Robert Doisneau, 1956 "Queneau’s thinking did not always follow the ways of his century, but his writing unmistakably *belongs* to that century, & indeed often seems to anticipate it." - Jordan Stump

Top-notch anyway & as the poster indicates, also features a "deadly hijinks at the amusement park" climax that rivals Strangers on a Train (especially since, like me, Ann Sheridan hated roller coasters). Watch Eddie Muller's Noir Alley intro with Ernest Dickerson here:
