Movie Lovers

Updated: Sep 28



I spent a lot of my youth watching old movies on TV. I was mad about Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Errol Flynn and Montgomery Clift. I couldn't get enough of those so-called 'women's' pictures, melodramas in the 1930s and 40s starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Old Hollywood offered me escapism and my ideas about love and romance were shaped by the passion I saw on the screen and for me in real life, no one ever measured up to expectations.
