it's in there

 

Yesterday here, I showcased something Jerry Hall wrote in her book.  I love the way she writes, and the way she says things!

------------------- excerpt ------------- Karl will say, 'O.K., you're Bette Davis in The Letter', and if you've seen it you know exactly what he wants.  That's the thing I said to my daughters; you've got to watch all the old Hollywood movies because they really did glamour and everything you need to know about modelling is in there. ----------------- end / excerpt ---------------

Everything you need to know about modelling is in there.

(It's in there.)

They really did glamour.

They Really. Did. Glamour.

"You've got to watch all the old Hollywood movies" -- (I say that to people all the time, and I'm not even in the fashion modeling business!)

You've got to watch all the old Hollywood movies --

        Everything you need to know about modelling is in there.

I immediately watched The Letter (1940).  I saw that movie when I lived in Boston, after college.  It was on a local channel at a late-night hour.  Small black-and-white TV.  (Of course the movie is in black-and-white anyway, so no difference there, if had had color....)

        I knew then it was really good -- somehow I had forgotten the ending.  I had to back away from the screen this time, it was getting so suspenseful and scary.  Holy Toledo!  What a movie.
