I agree it sure is good reading!
I believe actors and actresses in the old days were men and women (used to be called ladies and gentlemen) who were somehow more sophisticated and had the nuances that made them awesome. The men's clothing was so cool and the women seemed so natural in their gowns and they sure knew how to wear wonderful hats. I love the old movies.
Just watch Leno or Letterman. Today's icons come out and sit - men dressed like they live under a bridge. Absolutely no effort for dressing up to be on TV. And the women with their legs open and nipples all other the place. It's a hoot but indicates something has been lost.
