Lady with a Fan, André Dignimont, 1950

One of the most incredible and, to be honest, sexiest scenes in cinema history.

June Allyson, Dick Powell, and their adopted daughter Pamela

Hedda Hopper managed to track me down for an interview. I was outside to welcome her when she arrived. The children were playing around me on the lawn. With hardly a hello to me, Hedda looked at the children and said, “Oh I forgot-which one is yours?” I was furious, but I answered sweetly, “what do you mean, which one is mine? They’re both mine.” The children stopped playing and looked at me. I hoped Hedda let it go. But there was no stopping her, “Oh, I know that,” she said irritably, “I mean which one is adopted?” I looked at Hedda and I looked at the two upturned faces. I laughed and said, “You know something? I can’t remember.” It was my shining hour.

Reblogging because adoptive parents are amazing.

I’ve never really liked fifties fashion but I’m growing fonder of it at the moment. Oh dear.
