♥Classic Love ♥
i love the classic movies ! Adore Judy Garland <3
Whenever we’d do that little dance up the Yellow Brick Road, I was supposed to be with them - and they’d shut me out! They would close in, the three of them, and I would be in the back of them, dancing. So director Viktor Fleming - who was a darling man, always up on a boom - would say ‘Hold it! You three dirty hams! Let that little girl in there! Let her in there!
- Judy Garland
I don’t mean this harshly. However. I was in Paris with some friends. I was with Noel Coward, and Jeanette… and her husband. We were just sitting around in Jeanette and her husband’s sitting room, when in came Marlene. She had been doing a tour of - my goodness - many countries. She came in with this great big record. Great big record! It was bigger than a twelve inch… She said ‘Oh, darlings hello, would you like to hear my record?’ So we all said ‘Sure we’d like to hear your record.’ What are we going to say ‘No we don’t want to hear.’? ‘Of course we’d like to hear your record!’So she put the record on, and it was just applause. Applause! It’s true. Sometimes the applause would vary, she’d say ‘That’s Frankfurt’, then there’d be a great ROAR and ‘That’s Berlin.’ Not one note of music. She didn’t sing, there was no orchestra. Just applause! Noel turned me and he said ‘I hope there isn’t another side…’ And there was!

![The Apartment: According to Shirley MacLaine, much of the movie was written as filming progressed. The gin rummy game was added because at the time she was learning how to play the game from her friends in the Rat Pack. Likewise, when she started philosophizing about love during a lunch break one day, this was also added to the script:
”[…] It was different because on The Apartment, we only had 29 pages of script, and what he [Billy] did was wait to see how the relationship and the chemistry and all that between Jack and me would develop, and then he wrote it accordingly. Actually, he put the gin scene in, where we were playing cards, because he knew I was playing gin with Dean and Frank all the time”.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4gut9jsc61qefgdko1_500.jpg)

Marilyn Monroe in a scene in “Something’s Got to Give”, 1962.
This is the sweetest scene ever, I can’t even explain my love for it.

“You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you’re confusing courage with wisdom.”
