Including my “30 Dames in 30 Movies from the ‘30s” list, which was cool. Some are easier to remember than others. Characters like #MaeWest, #GretaGarbo & #MarleneDietrich are impossible to forget, whilst #DorisDay ‘s Calamity Jane resonates undeniably. I’m related to #JeanArthur. #ClaudetteColbert as Cleopatra was cute.

Wings 1927 features odd early planes & dogfights that’s worth a look.
