One of my favorite websites it aintitcool.com. It's a media fan site geared toward horror, SciFi, anime...that kind of thing. It's also often profane so I always hesitate posting from there. Regardless they have a daily feature titled, aptly enough, "The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day" I love the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein so I wanted to post this and share it. I'll post the photo for those who don't want to go to the site.

I’m kind of curious about the photo on the wall in the background.

All I can think is:

Gosh! Everyone was so thin in those days...

I did a little quick research and came up blank. The main makeup artist is Jack Pierce who was famous for doing most of the Universal monsters. I don’t know though that that is his room they are working in. It could be a relative of somebody but more likely looks like a character photo from a movie.

It's a pic of an old guy. He is wearing a hat and has a beard.

Next question. s/

Looks like George Bernard Shaw to me. The playwright-turned-philosopher-turned progressive eugenist would be completely comfortable watching over Frankensteinian procedures.

It’s Mata Hari, in one of her better disguises,..always an icon for makeup artists everywhere.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Agree on the eugenicist part as well.

We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living... A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.

You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight, and since you won't, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.

The most elaborate code of law... would still have left unspecified a hundred ways in which wreckers of Communism could have sidetracked it without ever having to face the essential questions: are you pulling your weight in the social boat? are you giving more trouble than you are worth? have you earned the privilege of living in a civilized community? That is why the Russians were forced to set up an Inquisition or Star Chamber, called at first the Cheka and now the Gay Pay Oo (Ogpu), to go into these questions and "liquidate" persons who could not answer them satisfactorily.

John Kerry, nuff said!

Go to YouTube and watch the Andrew Sisters sing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Talk about thin!

[sinanju]

No way Jose. An English bon vivant like George Bernard Shaw would never have been caught dead dressed like that. It must be the makeup artist’s Civil War veteran grandpappy.
