Hubflowers are her favorite.

Charlie never knew quite who she was before the war. She went to law school but never really wanted to be a lawyer. She got married and had a child, but she wasn’t content to be a housewife.

It wasn’t until the world fell apart and she emerged into the wasteland over 200 years later that she found purpose. She had to lose everything to find herself.

Uhm, so... I have just started to learn to draw digitally. Never done that before. It's fun! I use Ibis paint on my phone. Don't have any pen so I paint with my finger, but it works.

Aaanyways... This is my second attempt, first was just a sketch of a bunny face to try out brushes and stuff. I got inspired to try and make a portrait of Charlie the other day when it was her birthday, but it took a while to finish it. But here it is finally!

Happy belated birthday Charlotte "Charlie" Elizabeth McKay!

Hope you like her @marvilus-magpie ❤

A WOMAN OF DISTINCTION

March 16, 1950

Directed by Edward N. Buzzell 

Produced by Buddy Adler for Columbia Pictures

Written by Charles Hoffman; additional dialogue by Frank Tashlin; story by Ian McLellan Hunt and Hugo Butler

Synopsis ~ College dean Susan Middlecott thinks there's no room in her life for romance until she meets Professor Alec Stevenson, British lecturer on astronomy, who is in possession of a keepsake of Susan's that he wants to return. Desperate for publicity, lecture bureau press agent Teddy Evans magnifies this into a great romance. The efforts of both dignified principals to quash the story have the opposite effect.

PRINCIPAL CAST

Rosalind Russell (Susan Middlecott) is probably best remembered as Auntie Mame, a role she played on Broadway and in the film and a role Lucille Ball would film in the 1974 musical version of the play. She was nominated for four Oscars. This is her only appearance with Lucille Ball. 

Edmund Gwenn (Mark Middlecott) is probably best remembered for playing Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street (1947), which also featured William Frawley. He won an Oscar in 1951 for Mister 888. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball. 

Ray Milland (Alec Stevenson) won a 1945 Oscar for The Lost Weekend. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball.  

Janis Carter (Teddy Evans) also appeared with Lucille Ball in Miss Grant Takes Richmond (1949). 

Mary Jane Saunders (Louisa) was a seven year-old child actor who also appeared with Lucille Ball in 1949′s Sorrowful Jones.

UNCREDITED CAST 

Lucille Ball (as Lucille Ball) plays herself in a cameo appearance in her 73rd motion picture. Leaving an airplane holding a lapdog, movie star Lucille Ball stops to pose for photographs. 

Gale Gordon (Station Clerk) was Lucille Ball’s co-star in every one of her radio and television shows: Rudolph Atterbury on “My Favorite Husband,” Alvin Littlefield on “I Love Lucy,” Theodore J. Mooney on “The Lucy Show,” Harrison Otis Carter on “Here’s Lucy,” and Curtis McGibbon on “Life With Lucy.” Whether bellowing or turning a cartwheel, he was Lucy’s perfect comic foil!  

Gail Bonney (Woman) also appeared with Lucille Ball in The Fuller Brush Girl (1950). She re-teamed with Lucy in as Mr. Hudson in “The Amateur Hour” in 192, a 1965 episode of "The Lucy Show”, and a 1968 episode of "Here’s Lucy.”

Harry Cheshire (Stewart) also appeared with Lucille Ball in Her Husband’s Affairs (1947), and Miss Grant Takes Richmond (1949). He played oil tycoon Sam Johnson in “Oil Wells” (1954).  Mary Ellen Kay (Background Performer) later played Mrs. Taylor, who rents the Ricardo apartment in “Lucy Hates to Leave” (1957). 

Norman Leavitt (Earl, Hotel Desk Clerk) also appeared with Lucille Ball in The Long, Long Trailer (1953). He made three appearances on the “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” after which he was in The Facts of Life (1960) and two episodes of "The Lucy Show.”

William Newell (Bartender) played the Nome hotel desk clerk in “Lucy Goes To Alaska” an episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” featuring Red Skelton.

TRIVIA OF DISTINCTION

In Spain the film was titled The Teacher’s Scandals.

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on October 23, 1950 with Rosalind Russell reprising her film role. Coincidentally, Lucille Ball took over for Rosalind Russell when Screen Directors Radio Playhouse presented “A Foreign Affair” in March 1951. 

Rosalind Russell and her husband Fred Brisson were in the studio audience the night “I Love Lucy” filmed “Be A Pal” on September 21, 1951.

Into the London Fog: Eerie Tales from the Weird City (British Library Tales of the Weird), edited with notes by Elizabeth Dearnley, British Library Publishing, 2020. Cover art by Enrique Bernardou, info: shop.bl.uk.

‘Outside, where the air was foggy, the square was noiseless, save for an occasional hoot of a motor passing into the streets. By degrees I found the light growing rather dim, as if the fog had penetrated into the room…’ As the smoky dark sweeps across the capital, strange stories emerge from the night. A séance reveals a ghastly secret in the murk of Regent’s Canal. From south of the Thames come chilling reports of a spring-heeled spectre, and in Stoke Newington rumours abound of an opening to another world among the quiet alleys. Join Elizabeth Dearnley on this atmospheric tour through a shadowy London, a city which has long inspired writers of the weird and uncanny. Waiting in the hazy streets are eerie tales from Charlotte Riddell, Lettice Galbraith and Violet Hunt, along with haunting pieces by Virginia Woolf, Arthur Machen, Sam Selvon and many more.

Contents: Introduction by Elizabeth Dearnley Temple – The Telegram by Violet Hunt Regent’s Park – In the Séance Room by Lettice Galbraith Kensington – The Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen Mayfair – The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth by Rhoda Broughton Piccadilly – The Dressmaker’s Doll by Agatha Christie Soho – War, an extract from London In My Time by Thomas Burke The Strand – Street Haunting by Virginia Woolf Holborn – Pugilist vs Poet, an extract from A Long Way from Home by Claude McKay Stoke Newington – N by Arthur Machen Whitechapel – The The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes Waterloo – My Girl and the City by Sam Selvon Crystal Palace – The Mystery of the Semi-Detached by Edith Nesbit Vauxhall – The Old House in Vauxhall Walk by Charlotte Riddell Putney (and Bloomsbury) – The Chippendale Mirror by E.F. Benson Peckham – Spring-Heeled Jack by Anonymous

For @bethanyactually, the queen of fandoms and beta extraordinaire: 4, 6, 8, 9

4. Favorite pairing?

Well, that’s a rude question. Would you like them alphabetically, chronologically, or by emphasis? ;) Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley is my big focus these days, though often it is more Ginny/Her Own Awesomeness. And, strangely, that is not a pairing I read a lot. Also, of course, Sam Carter/Jack O’Neill will always be the great ship of my life. They are happily together and living their happily ever after in my head, which is probably why I have stopped writing them. But as far as pairings I root for, that I will never pass by a fic about them? Lizzie Bennet/William Darcy. Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers. (Though I am open to Darcy/Anyone, really) Phryne/Jack. Gen/Attolia. CJ/Danny. B’Elanna/Tom. Rodney McKay/Jennifer Keller. Lindsey Novak/Evan Lorne (Though Novak/Anyone is awesome. SGA was just full of amazing, endless rarepairs.) GSR was a big one for me. Jason Bourne/Marie Kreutz. (Buffy/Angel was my original ship, methinks, though I’ve never really read any fic about them!)

Oh, I was only supposed to pick one?

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)?

Lord, Bethany, you are an evil one. I’m just going to go off the top of my head.

For Sam/Jack: it will always be @pepperf‘s storage closet series which started with Out Go the Lights.

For the Harry Potter verse: honey_wheeler’s and yes i say yes I will yes, Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, particularly fabulous Molly and Arthur. 

Marvel verse: waketosleep’s It’s Electrifying, which is Darcy/Clint from the original Thor. I’m more of a Darcy/Steve girl these days, but THIS FIC.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries: Independent Study by glamaphonic (Lizzie/Darcy with excellent Charlotte.)

I have to stop there or I never will.

8. Do you read WIPs?

Oh my god, in possibly the greatest act of hypocrisy EVER, NO, I DO NOT. As a serial offender, I just generally don’t touch WIPs. BUT, in my defense, I don’t expect anyone to read my WIPs either if that isn’t their cup of tea. Really. Lol.

9. What is the longest fic you’ve read?

Oh, boy. I’ve read some epics. I remember a REALLY long retelling of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies where Elizabeth becomes the Pirate King. I think also the fab Miss de Bourgh in Bath fic (120,000 words). Which, now that I think on it, I DID follow as a WIP. So, there! But mostly I don’t think I read a lot of fic over 50,000 words. Maybe there aren’t that many?

All the Women Who Weren’t Nominated For an Oscar This Year

The Oscar nominations are out, and there’s plenty that’s noteworthy about this year’s crop of nominees: Black Panther became the first superhero film to be nominated for Best Picture; astoundingly, this is Spike Lee’s first Oscar nomination for directing (for BlackKklansman); Lady Gaga became just the second person (after Mary J Blige) to be nominated in both acting and song categories in the same year; and Yalitza Aparicio, star of Roma, is the first indigenous Mexican actress nominee.

Also noteworthy: the absurd lack of women across most major categories, including directing, screenwriting and cinematography.

No woman nominated for Best Director. No woman nominated for Cinematography. No woman nominated for Editing. No woman nominated for Music. One woman nominated for Adapted Screenplay. One woman nominated for Original Screenplay.

My Academy fam, we must do better. #OscarNoms

— Amber Tamblyn (@ambertamblyn) January 22, 2019

Just as at the 2018 Golden Globes, where only male directors were up for the Best Director award—a fact scathingly called out by Natalie Portman—this year the Academy nominated five men: Yorgos Lanthimos, Spike Lee, Paweł Pawlikowski, Alfonso Cuarón and Adam McKay. Women were similarly shut out of many other key categories. Aside from Nicole Holofcener (who was nominated alongside Jeff Whitty for Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and Deborah Davis (nominated for co-writing The Favourite with Tony McNamara), they were absent from both screenplay categories, as well as from cinematography. Read on for all the incredibly deserving women the Academy overlooked this year.

Debra Granik, Leave No Trace You may know Debra Granik’s name from when she directed Jennifer Lawrence to an Oscar nomination for 2010’s Winter’s Bone, securing nods for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay too. Her next feature—yes, eight years later–is Leave No Trace, a quiet and haunting film about a father and daughter living off the grid in a forest in Oregon, who are forced to reintegrate into urban life. The film holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and also made it to Barack Obama’s list of his favourite films of 2018.

Rachel Morrison, Black Panther Rachel Morrison was the first (!) female cinematographer to be nominated for an Academy Award for the 2017 film Mudbound, directed by Dee Rees. She first collaborated with director Ryan Coogler on his debut feature Fruitvale Station back in 2013, and continued that partnership with last year’s Black Panther. How she was overlooked for her work on this ambitious film is mind-boggling, because she brought a fictional world to life with richness, texture and an exacting eye for detail. Oh, and she’s also the first female cinematographer the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever had.

Josephine Decker, Madeline’s Madeline In what world does a film hailed by critics as “one of the freshest and most exciting films of the 21st century,” and “the most originally and boldly edited film… seen in a while” fail to generate Oscar buzz? In our world, that’s where. This film by Josephine Decker (with an all-female team, to boot) is about a young theatre artist whose personal and theatrical lives begin to careen dangerously towards each other. Starring Miranda July, Molly Parker and newcomer Helena Howard, whose work the New Yorker’s Richard Brody deemed “one of the great teen performances in film history,” the film is exhilarating, complex and wildly inventive.

Marielle Heller, Can You Ever Forgive Me? Marielle Heller’s debut film The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) was a refreshingly frank (and hilarious) coming-of-age story starring Bel Powley, Kristin Wiig and Alexander Skarsgard that premiered to critical acclaim at Sundance. Her latest film, based on a true story, stars Melissa McCarthy in a rare dramatic role as an acerbic, friendless, struggling writer who gets into forgery to earn a living in mid-90s New York and Richard E. Grant as her unscrupulous, game-for-anything partner in crime. The result is a deeply moving narrative motivated by morally-dubious impulses but with heart, humour and human complexity at its core.

Gillian Flynn, Widows This film—starring Viola Davis alongside a crew of formidable women including Michelle Rodriguez and Elizabeth Debicki—may have crash-and-burned at the box office, but its intricate plot, full of twists and turns, was superbly adapted for the screen (from a novel) by Gillian Flynn and director Steve McQueen.

Charlotte Bruus Christensen, A Quiet Place How does a movie without dialogue manage to create an atmospheric world for audiences to lose themselves in? Through visuals and sound effects, both of which are handled deftly and lovingly in John Krasinski’s cult hit. Rather than a bleak, dystopian vision, the film contains a richness and warmth, the better to convey the intimacy between the family at the centre of the narrative. Shot on 35mm film, we get both stress-inducing close-ups of the terrified family as well as wider shots of the lush countryside in which this nightmare is unfolding. (While we’re on the subject, it’s criminal that Emily Blunt didn’t score a nom for her wordless but heart-stopping performance.)

Chloe Zhao, The Rider This under-the-radar film made the Top 10 lists of dozens of film critics in 2018, including those at Variety, the Hollywood Reporter, Vulture, the Atlantic and NPR (and also Barack Obama’s). Directed by Chinese filmmaker Chloe Zhao, the film tells the story of an injured rodeo cowboy in South Dakota’s Sioux community. Based on real-life events—specifically the lives of the Jandreau family living on the Pine Ridge Reservation—the film is a quasi-documentary, with the actual Jandreau family members playing fictionalized versions of themselves. “[Zhap] blends narrative with documentary seamlessly, giving the audience a glimpse into a way of life rarely seen on the big screen, without exaggerating its difficulties,” writes David Sims for the Atlantic.

Lynne Ramsay, You Were Never Really Here This big-screen adaptation of Jonathan Ames’ novella received a seven-minute standing ovation at Cannes, earning its writer/director Lynne Ramsay a Best Screenplay award and its lead actor, Joaquin Phoenix, a Best Actor prize. Ramsay—whose last feature was the harrowing We Need To Talk About Kevin in 2011—has crafted a disqueting psychological thriller about a hitman who rescues girls from sex trafficking. “A stark, sinewy, slashed-to-the-bone hitman thriller,” concluded Guy Lodge for Variety; “brutal, brilliant,” proclaimed Peter Travers at Rolling Stone.

All the Women Who Weren’t Nominated For an Oscar This Year

The Oscar nominations are out, and there’s plenty that’s noteworthy about this year’s crop of nominees: Black Panther became the first superhero film to be nominated for Best Picture; astoundingly, this is Spike Lee’s first Oscar nomination for directing (for BlackKklansman); Lady Gaga became just the second person (after Mary J Blige) to be nominated in both acting and song categories in the same year; and Yalitza Aparicio, star of Roma, is the first indigenous Mexican actress nominee.

Also noteworthy: the absurd lack of women across most major categories, including directing, screenwriting and cinematography.

No woman nominated for Best Director. No woman nominated for Cinematography. No woman nominated for Editing. No woman nominated for Music. One woman nominated for Adapted Screenplay. One woman nominated for Original Screenplay.

My Academy fam, we must do better. #OscarNoms

Just as at the 2018 Golden Globes, where only male directors were up for the Best Director award—a fact scathingly called out by Natalie Portman—this year the Academy nominated five men: Yorgos Lanthimos, Spike Lee, Paweł Pawlikowski, Alfonso Cuarón and Adam McKay. Women were similarly shut out of many other key categories. Aside from Nicole Holofcener (who was nominated alongside Jeff Whitty for Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and Deborah Davis (nominated for co-writing The Favourite with Tony McNamara), they were absent from both screenplay categories, as well as from cinematography. Read on for all the incredibly deserving women the Academy overlooked this year.

Debra Granik, Leave No Trace You may know Debra Granik’s name from when she directed Jennifer Lawrence to an Oscar nomination for 2010’s Winter’s Bone, securing nods for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay too. Her next feature—yes, eight years later–is Leave No Trace, a quiet and haunting film about a father and daughter living off the grid in a forest in Oregon, who are forced to reintegrate into urban life. The film holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and also made it to Barack Obama’s list of his favourite films of 2018.

Meghan Markle

LONDON (Reuters) – Meghan Markle’s father will walk her down the aisle when the American actress marries Britain’s Prince Harry this month and both her parents will meet Queen Elizabeth and senior royals in the run-up to the ceremony, Kensington Palace said on Friday.

Both the bride-to-be’s divorced parents, Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland, would have “important roles” in the wedding at Windsor Castle on May 19, Jason Knauf, Harry’s Communications Secretary told reporters.

“On the morning of the wedding, Ms Ragland will travel with Ms Markle by car to Windsor Castle,” Knauf said. “Mr Markle will walk his daughter down the aisle of St George’s Chapel. Ms Markle is delighted to have her parents by her side on this important and happy occasion.”

There had been speculation about what role Markle’s parents, who divorced when she was six, would play in the wedding ceremony. Thomas Markle, 73, a former lighting director for TV soaps and sitcoms had said he had wanted to give his daughter away.[nL8N1O81P7]

Knauf said they would fly over from the United States the week before the wedding and both would for the first time meet their new in-laws including the 92-year-old queen, her husband Prince Philip, Harry’s father Prince Charles, Harry’s elder brother William and his wife Kate.

The detail about Markle’s parents was part of a slew of information released by Knauf ahead about the wedding which is attracting massive global media attention.

The three siblings of Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, who was killed in a Paris car crash in 1997 when he was 12, will be at the wedding with her sister Lady Jane Fellowes giving the reading.

“Prince Harry and Ms. Markle both feel honored that Lady Jane will be representing her family and helping to celebrate the memory of the late princess on the wedding day,” Knauf said.

Harry and William, who is his best man, are expected to arrive on foot at the castle’s St George’s Chapel where the ceremony will be held. Markle will meet her father at the church after arriving by car with her mother.

No details were given of the guests but it has already been confirmed that no political figures would be present who were not personal friends of the couple. [nL8N1RN6FG]

Knauf also revealed that Markle would not be having a maid of honor, and that the bridesmaids and page boys would all be children.

“She has a very close knit group of friends and she did not want to choose one over the other,” Knauf said. “They have also been actively involved in helping her prepare for the day and are going to be there at Windsor on the day before in London and she’s very pleased to have their support on the day.”

One royal who will not be attending is William and Kate’s new son Louis who was born on April 23, although his mother and two older siblings, George, 4, and Charlotte, 3, will be there.

Knauf said the newlyweds would not immediately be heading off on honeymoon and would carry out their first public engagement as a married couple the week after the wedding.

One tradition of recent British royal weddings has been for the newlyweds to share a kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the ceremony, something that will not be possible with the marriage taking place at Windsor.

Asked if the world would see something similar, Knauf said: “I have no comments on the kissing today.”

Gotta get creative with those recruitment posters.
