Reblogged for Bacall obvs.


Lauren Bacall’s character, Schatze, says, “I’ve always liked older men… Look at that old fellow what’s-his-name in The African Queen. Absolutely crazy about him.” She is referring to Bacall’s real-life husband, Humphrey Bogart.

Wow. Just - wow. Again, I will repeat the feeling of personally identifying with all Katharine Hepburn movies. I will also take this moment to state that I am blown away by James Stewart in this movie. The intensity and urgency of his voice is just an amazing experience. When he sings to her? Amazing. Just - I should watch this like five more times. Katharine Hepburn is luminous and alive and amazing.

The woman who made your Wifi working.

Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-born American actress. Max Reinhardt called her the “most beautiful woman in Europe” due to her “strikingly dark exotic looks”.

Mathematically talented, Lamarr came up with an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary for wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.
