Born March 24th, 1910, today is Richard Conte's 100th birthday!
To celebrate, at supper tonight, I watched most of A WALK IN THE SUN. 'Most', because I had to get the kid to bed.
She just woke up screaming -- a nightmare, I guess -- and I'm exhausted; spent most of Conte's birthday driving South for a photoshoot of a town where I got lost, accidently ran a stop sign, had to ask sweaty construction men for directions out, and try my best not to let my dress fly above my knees while taking pictures of buildings, benches, and creeping ivy.
Yawn.
I had hoped to shoot an old movie theater -- one of those giant two-story historic-type buildings -- but apparently it's been refurbished, repainted, and turned into a nightclub.
...
Sorry for the lack of writing and everything else online. I went into a strange phase after my last post -- I'll explain later -- and now my daughter's out of school for Spring Break. Been spending lots of time with her, which takes a lot more energy, requiring more sleep, thus deleting my late night freetime and resulting hijinks! ;)
I should be back soon.
I hope you're all well. :)
And wherever you are tonight, Nick Conte -- Happy Birthday!!

nice to see you here again!

That was a heck of a day!
I love A WALK IN THE SUN!!
RC is always good anyway, but the back and forth he has with George Tyne in that movie is great.
Also that lovely grin Conte had that he used to seem very sinister in some movies is so adorable here. Adorable!
I am with Artman, your profile pic is cool!

Hope all is well with you--I was away most of March myself on a x-country road trip. Made it to New York, but not "not New York"--didn't get into the south at all.
