I love this picture of Kay Francis, taken Christmas Day, 1962, shortly before the onset of illnesses that would end her life in 1968. She's happy, has friends who love her, and is as stylish as ever. Imagine the care she put into choosing that seasonal ensemble, incl. the nail polish.

Something I learned during my visit to the health clinic today:

Lordy, Brenda Marshall was a very, VERY pretty girl. Yet, on screen, she didn't quite possess the quality that Elinor Glyn's sister would call "It." And I've always gotten the sense that Brenda (who preferred to be called by her real name, Ardis) couldn't care less.

Me, poised in the entryway to my DMs, awaiting my first gentleman caller. If you look closely, you'll see that the tendrils of my cigarette smoke spell out "No Muff Too Tuff" in Latin.
