Buster Keaton, Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy (Babes in Toyland, A Chump at Oxford)—"hot" "couple"? perhaps not in those exact words but they have an undeniable chemistry together and ive always been taken with the way film historians and industry professionals alike seem to default to speaking about them as if they *were* a married couple - a comprehensive history on them that published volume 1 this year is even titled "a true love story" because at the end of the day wasnt it? undoubtedly they loved each other. they changed the landscape of comedy together. also as precode performers some of their works DO include queercoded aspects, notably "thats my wife" (1929) where stan disguises himself as ollies wife (after his real wife has left him because he didnt immediately pick her over stan) and "our wife" (1931) the final piece of which is an accidental marriage between them

Joan Crawford and Clark Gable (Dance Fools Dance, Possessed, Forsaking All Others)—they were hot as shit and so in love

Still the best dance scene in all of cinema history and I'll attack anyone who disagrees with a wooden mallet.

15-year-old Ray Bradbury with Marlene Dietrich, 1935

"I was madly in love with Hollywood… I had been roller skating all over the town and was absolutely obsessed with getting autographs from all those glamorous stars. It was great. I saw really big MGM stars like Norma Shearer, Laurel and Hardy, Ronald Colman. Or I would hang out all day in front of Paramount or Columbia, then rush to the Brown Derby to look at the stars coming in or out of there. I saw Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, Fred Allen, Burns and Allen – everyone who'd been to the coast. Mae West appeared every Friday with her bodyguard. ...I still have these autographs, and the wheels from the rollers also survived to these days. Almost all of those people I had met are already gone, but by some miracle Marlene and George survived. The light coming from these photos is like a repeated session of my life about a slightly stupid, but always loyal boy who terribly didn't want to grow up."

- Ray Bradbury
