Also, one quick thing I want to mention. I welcome comments on my blog. I love them! Even if I don't get a chance to respond to them all, please know that I read all of them. I welcome additional information on entries as well as corrections for any errors I may have made. However, the kind of comments I will ignore are ones where someone will say that something I wrote is completely false and to take it off my site. Not going to happen. In this case it was an issue with my saying that Lilyan Tashman was reportedly bisexual in an entry I wrote about her and that I needed to remove it from my blog. I am not going to do it. I am not perpetuating any rumors or something defamatory towards Lilyan because whether or not she was bisexual is not a bad thing. Also, this has been something that has been quoted in various sources, so this isn't something I just pulled out of my ass. So, in the spirit of free speech and all that jazz...I will continue on my way.
March is here! Enjoy these pictures of our March birthday guys and gals and I will see you soon with Baby Peggy! PROMISE!

First, I always love your birthday lists and the pics you show.My dad's birthday was March14th. He was born in 1913so he went to the silent movies. I always thought that was cool. You go girl! You are entitled to write what you know and you know a lot. It reminds me of when I wrote about Rudolph Valentino and mentioned Natacha Rambova liking women. One commenter blasted me that I had no idea what I was talking about.I went through all my books and I went to your site to review to make sure I was not wrong. I wasn't and just ignored the person.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Birgit!My grandmother used to accompany silent films on the piano when she was a teen. She died before I was born, but I still have her sheet music. I would have loved to have heard the stories she had to tell!
DeleteAnd I would have thought the Natacha Rambova story was fairly common knowledge! There are still people out there who refuse to believe it for one reason or another. The truth of the matter is that we will probably never know what really went on behind closed doors, but we have stories and things that have been passed down through the years that lead us to the best conclusion we can make some 90+ years after the fact!
I would jump on someone for saying that Roscoe Arbuckle raped and killed Virginia Rappe, but not over whether or not Lilyan Tashman may have fooled around with a woman or two.
