Hedy Lamarr's 'peacock dress', designed by Edith Head, for "Samson and Delilah", 1949. I heard the feathers were gathered from the grounds of Cecil B. DeMille's estate.

Good Omens: A companion to Owls- biblical-cinematographical references.

Since Cecil B. DeMille played such a big role, here are some side by side scenes from The Ten Commandments and A Companion to Owls.

And most importantly, side by side scenes with the Book of Job and A Companion to Owls.

I was watching an animated biopic about Cecil B. DeMille, and got into an argument with my sister about the origin of the name Cecil.

It's you I'll always want. Some of your sweetness got into my blood. I guess it's there for life. And my heart will be answering you... as long as ever it beats.

For old time's sake--Cecil B. DeMille takes time away from his own production of "The Ten Commandments" to make a brief on-camera guest appearance as himself as himself in Paramount's currently shooting "The Buster Keaton Story." The scene finds him directing a picture when Keaton, portrayed by Donald O'Connor, inadvertently walks into the shot. Photo shows O'Connor, made up as Keaton, producer-director DeMille and Keaton himself. Although Hollywood's "Mister Master" has produced and directed score pictures over a more than four-decade period, this is believed only the fourth time since sound that he has gone out in front of the cameras for a role--and the second time he has done the favor for old friend Buster Keaton. The Keaton biofilm is co-produced and written for the screen by Robert Smith and Sidney Sheldon, with the latter also the director.
