"I used to try and see Judy Garland whenever I could. She was one of the first who knew how to build a song, take it to its climax, and then draw back." —Barbara Cook
Happy birthday to Judy Garland — watch her own this song.

Harpo Marx spoke at his final public performance in 1964.
And 60 years later, the tape was found.
If you've been a Marx Bros. fan your whole life, as I have, hearing Harpo speak is extraordinarily powerful.

Reading this splendid interview with Jefferies and the remembrance of THE RAILWAY CHILDREN makes me yearn for a good physical copy to watch immediately.
Harpo Marx -- the "silent" Marx brother -- can finally be heard speaking in a live album of recently recovered material, which was recorded just six months before he died in 1964.
And in March 2015 the great violinist James Ehnes premiered the violin Concerto written for him by JNH.
Great thread.
“Daddy, my daddy!”
Jenny Agutter’s cry at the station is unforgettable to anyone who knows the 1970 British masterpiece (I don’t use that word lightly): The Railway Children directed by Lionel Jefferies. Today is his centenary and 29 years ago I talked to him. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...
I would rather play a maid than work as a maid, she is supposed to have said. She died at 59 from breast cancer but couldn't be buried at Hollywood Cemetery, as was her wish. You know why.

James Newton Howard, born on this day in 1951, has an Emmy, a Grammy, and 9 Oscar nominations.
I'd like to think there's an Oscar win in his future. He's certainly deserving.
A wonderful body of work to be enjoyed and admired by all.
Happy birthday, James!
9/9

The first African American to win the Oscar (Gone with the Wind), she was seated at a segregated side table at the ceremony and couldn't attend the movie premier because it was held in Atlanta. Her Oscar acceptance speech will reduce you to tears. Born on this day in 1893.
