![]() ![]() R21 Absolutely, Hepburn the Elder of course, not the Younger. Gotta' be a few old timers out there in the know. Seriously who gives a shit about these young guys today? We should get an elder thread going with so good dirt about the old days. Have a good friend who was a lover of a famous gay/bi actor who dished tons of stories about Grant, Powers, Tracy, Hepburn, Pigeon, Flynn, Hudson and lesser luminaries. ![]() ![]() Apparently Grant went through copious therapies, including Acid trips (believe it or not experimental therapy in the 60s) that I always read as trying to rid himself of the lavender beast. I always read mutually bearding into that. Loren of all women? Hepburn the Elder once wrote a letter to another actress saying that "got lucky" in avoiding Grant. I never bought that Loren story but when she published those letters it was pretty clear. The 1920s and 30s were a comparatively free time. And H'wood became increasingly homophobic through the 1940s/50s. ![]() When his star ascended and it was clear he was going to be a superstar the relationship had to be tamed. Less remembered, Scott was a bigger star than Grant at first. They were very deeply in love-I don't think they ever fell out of love with one another in fact. R14 and R16 it was Carol Lombard's joke about how notoriously cheap Grant was. ![]()

![]() And even if none of these things were true, the rapist was Kellen Turner, the sheriff's well-liked older son, and there was never any chance that Sheriff Turner would listen to her. The rapist was someone she knew and had an undisguised crush on. Her father was the town alcoholic, with a checkered history. The circumstances are against her, and ripe for backbiting gossip: She was intoxicated. Romy was raped at a high school party, but virtually no one in her small hometown believes her. ![]() Romy is seeking safe outlets for emotions that are held in check largely by her own inability to sort through them, and the title expresses something even she doesn't understand: Underneath her diffidence, defiance, apathy, mourning and other sensations is a solid core of fury. But that makes the book compellingly unpredictable. ![]() The protagonist, Romy Grey, is dealing with many feelings, and rage is one of the least obvious. ![]() It's a single entendre - "all the rage" really does just refer to anger, though the book could also have been called All the Confusion, All the Defiant Loneliness or All the Sublimated Self-Destruction. The title of Courtney Summers' latest young adult novel, All The Rage, doesn't quite earn its seeming double meaning. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

But Lucrecia becomes jealous of her lecherous brother's interest in the growing child and plots a dire fate for Bianca in the woods below the farm. Bianca is left in the care of her father's farm staff and the beautiful-and madly vain-Lucrecia Borgia, Cesare's sister. She is born on a farm in Tuscany in 1495, and when she is seven, her father is ordered by the duplicitous Cesare Borgia to go on a quest to reclaim the relic of the original Tree of Knowledge, a branch bearing three living apples that are thousands of years old. In Mirror Mirror Snow White is called Bianca de Nevada. ![]() A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, Mirror Mirror is set in Renaissance Italy, where Gregory Maguire draws a connection between the poison apple in the original Snow White story and the Borgia family's well-known appetite for poisoning its foes. ![]() |
