Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire are quite possibly the most famous dancing duo ever paired, and every bit of their fame is well deserved. Of the ten musicals they made, none was ever nominated for any acting or writing Oscars, but the various dance numbers, be they tap or aesthetic, as well as fun songs, make them more than enjoyable. And even though most may have been written off as “diversion” films of the Great Depression, they continue to divert quite successfully today. - Reel Classics

Arguably, one of the top 3 most beautiful women in film history.
In her first and only meeting with the famous macho actor Marlon Brando, early in her career at Paramount, the two were seated next to each other at an Actor’s Guild luncheon. As they sat down, Audrey said a shy hello. Brando said not a single word to her during the entire dinner. For 40 years, Ferrer says, his mother believed that Brando had shunned her. But in the hospital near the end of her life, she received a letter from the famous actor. A mutual friend must have told him of Hepburn’s feelings, and he wrote to set the record straight. Although she might have been shy of him at that luncheon, he recalled that he had been so much in awe of her that he was speechless. He couldn’t think of a single thing to say.—Excerpt from Audrey Hepburn: A Son’s Reflections
I’ve been wondering all along if you would turn out to be that lovely girl I met on May Day. Why were you scared then?

Apologies for the terrible image quality - I’m lacking scanner access at the minute so I had to take these photos on my phone
I was reading hyperbole and a half’s blog entry explaining their experience of depression and decided to make another sketchy comic based on my experiences with anxiety, which is another mental illness I think people tend to misunderstand quite frequently
Hopefully this will be of use to some people - whether they suffer from anxiety themselves or if they just want to know more about it
I just started laughing in the middle of my stat review because I just started thinking “I wish Laurence Olivier had played Edward Scissorhands” because you guys, he would’ve been so fucking into it and it would have been hilarious.
CGI technology has brought the late Audrey Hepburn back to the screen, as she stars in a TV advertisement for the chocolate company, Galaxy. Hepburn’s sons, Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti, said regarding the project: “Our mother often spoke about her love of chocolate and how it lifted her spirit, so we’re sure she would have been proud of her role as the face of Galaxy.” (watch the commercial here)
