If they were still alive....

...today (January 28) would be the birthday of these late luminaries:



French writer Colette (Gigi) would be 138.  And that outfit would still be something!


Hollywood/Broadway actress Mary Boland--most famously ‘The Countess De Lave’ in the 1939 film, The Women---("L'amour, l'amour...toujours l'amour!")---was born in Detroit (my hometown) in 1880...would have been 131 today.


Legendary Polish pianist, Artur Rubinstein, would be 124.
(Above, presumably not his official 'headshot'...).


Ernst Lubitsch, famed German Hollywood film director (The Merry Widow, Ninotchka), would be 119.


Modernist painter, Jackson Pollock, would be 99.
