Robert Mitchum plays a poor country preacher just trying to administer to his flock in the only honest, totally not creepy and completely sane ways he knows how. Just look at those sad, searching eyes! Despite the fact that jobs are plentiful and everyone is basically rich, Shelley Winters pulls a complicated double-cross by tricking the preacher into marriage and then trying to frame him for murder by playing dead at the bottom of the river. Meanwhile, her two diabolical children steal away with his life savings. Also starring Lillian Gish, who runs a gang of fruit thieves and underage prostitutes.
C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *
Oooh, that Shelley Winters - always getting into trouble in the water!
