Perfect Isn’t Easy  from Oliver & Company (1988)

Happy Birthday, Gary Cooper (May 7th, 1901 - May 13th, 1961) 
 “I looked at it this way.   To get people to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal.  I don’t mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy.”

omg shut up

YES!!!!!!  Grunge is/was a musical genre in the early to mid 1990s that included, but was not limited to Nirvana, Mudhoney, The Melvins, etc. and has ****NOTHING**** to do with vintage film - everyone who misuses the term is brain dead - for real.   It’s actually laughable, but also ever so pathetic………

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has to always be out of step with his time.

Rudolph Valentino (May 6th, 1985 - August 23rd, 1926)  Photo by Edward Steichen 
The death of Valentino is a terrific loss to the screen.  He brought it happiness„ beauty, and art as perhaps no other has.  His loss can never be replaced; there was and can be only one Valentino; a great artist and one of the finest gentlemen it has ever been my privilege to term ‘friend’.” - John Gilbert
