Seven - minus one - days of.. ..Peter Sellers (2)




Today is obviously Thursday.. So this will be a completely having kittens post..



As always this is part of a meme hosted by Michelle @ THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT

My guest today is of course my star of my series "Seven - minus one - days of.. ..Peter Sellers"... 



So - here he is:

The men himself..

Peter Sellers - and two really adorable little friends of his (one is hiding a bit) ..


This picture is from THE WRONG BOX (UK, 1966) by Bryan Forbes which I am yet to see.. 

Well.. speaking of cats and Peter Sellers.. of course you might have guessed that my next film with him I am planning to watch is WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT? (France/USA, 1965) by Clive Donner and Richard Talmadge - which I love.. so.. now guess about witch film I will be writing soon.. 

Thank you very much for your visit!

Completely having kittens - and announcement of me joining another blogathon..

Here we are again.. The weekend is near..



 and here is a new issue for a meme hosted by Michelle @ THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT:


But first: Little Arya, Michelle's youngest cat, had a little accident and we wish the best for her. I know she is already fine by now - and certainly hope that never again she will have an accident like that. 

Before I will post my cat picture for this week I want to announce that I will take part in Monty's CINEMATIC WORLD TOUR BLOGATHON (<- there's a link in case you want to learn more or join us..) 


I am still unsure what to write about but I think I will write about some films set in Germany - and two of them will be actually German and feature some vacations.. I was also thinking about one or two reviews of films set in Italy - for since my childhood I wish for a trip to Italy - and there are so many great films set there..  Well.. I will see - and I hope you will see, too...

So - here is my guest for today - a really refined gentleman who I love so very, very much:


Edward G. Robinson..

And for he knows that for a voyage you better take your love ones with you 

- here he is with all he loves:
~ Isn't he gorgeous? I love how the glasses suit him  - and the cat.. ~

Thank you very much for listening!

Completely having kittens.. ..with Ginger Rogers


Welcome to this new post for this series -



which is part of a meme hosted by Michelle @ THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT.

- last time I featured French singer of the 1960's Sylvie Vartan on another blog of mine: NOT SOPHISTICATED.. Today we're back into film business with..

..my guest - the very, very popular Miss Ginger Rogers..

(Michelle had her post themed with dancing cats..
so I thought posting pictures of a famous dancer might fit into that..)



Here she is with her Siamese cat.. 

~ yes.. many Siamese cats in Hollywood indeed.. 
But - frankly - they really are wonderful.. also is Ginger Rogers' outfit.. ~ 


For we have a really sunny day here one might take a little stroll 

- why not taking a feline friend with you?


~ I love her outfit here, too.. It looks very comfortable.. ~

Enjoy your day!

Thank you very much for listening!

Yours very well and truly

Have a great day!

Completely having kittens.. ..with Jane Fonda


Yes, I am back to posting Cat pictures.. (yay for that..) 

~ This is part of a meme hosted by Michelle @ THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT ~

First of all: Congratulations to Michelle and her family: They now have a new member - the adorable little Arya!  

Fingers crossed for all your family, dear Michelle, especially for Alice and Arya that this will turn out to be just marvellous! I am pretty sure of that - considering the pics I saw and knowing how much you care for Alice's (and now also Arya's) well-being.. ;")


But now: Let's start with the pictures!!

Ready?

Ok..

Our guest today is an actress I love - or should I say I am fond-a of her? - :

  Jane Fonda.






~~~~~~~~

 The Mirror Mirror aspect:

The wonderful Jane sadly had a period in her life in which she didn't feel too wonderful - which led to her starving herself - she was suffering from Annorexia Nervosa. 


~~~~~~~~


But here now some pictures of Ms. Fonda with some cats:




And of course I have here the famous Yoga with Cat series 

(yes, again: the obligatory Siamese cats..) :








~ Please notice: There are two Siamese cats! ~




And with a lovely Tabby cat:




A short notice before I close this post:

 If you like to - you can still vote on the poll. There is a bit of time left untill it'll be revealed who is the quoted person.. 

Thank you so very much for listening!

Have a lovely day!!

Yours very well and truly

Completely having kittens.. ..with a lady and two gents


Today this post features the always popular Siamese cats, an apparently red cat and hopefully much to the delight of Michelle (and Alice) several black cats..

This is part of a meme hosted by Michelle @ THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT.

When it comes to male actors there are two who are my number one 
- I know, I know.. I really can't decide who I like more - I just love them both! 

These two gentlemen are 

Peter Lorre and Vincent Price.

Both men had their appearence in this series before - but nevertheless: here they are again - and they brought the wonderful Joyce Jameson with them! I also like her very, very much - a very funny (and quite gorgeous) actress she was.

They appeared in TALES OF TERROR (1962) (based on Edgar Allan Poe's stories) together in the segment THE BLACK CAT..

From the film:






and here they are together: 

Joyce and the boys:





Just Joyce:



Just "the boys":




You can tell me what you want:
 I think black cats seem to have the most impressive eyes! 
Just look at those little fellas! 

Those of you who visit via THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT might not know that this month my blog has a special theme - it's called On the Run : Runaways & Refugees - Escapees & Escapists

So how does this post fit into the theme?

It fits because of Peter Lorre - born as LÔszló Löwenstein on June 26, 1904 in Rószahegy (Austria-Ungary - now: Ruzomberok, Slovak Republic) - ran away from home when he was a teenager. In Vienna (Austria) he first worked as a bank clerk before he became an actor (a really great actor if I might add this..). He appeared on several stages and in some German films before he had to leave Germany to rescue his life. Being jewish he wasn't safe in now 3rd Reich..



And in a very sad way also Joyce Jameson  fits into the series: she decided to choose the ultimate way to run away: On January 16, 1987 she commited suicide

...

Without the approach to belittle Joyce Jameson's fate - but to make this post end with some brighter thoughts:

- here are my favourite cat pictures of Peter Lorre:

The first one I posted now three times:


But this one is (as I hope) new to you:


Thank you all for visiting and listening!
Have a wonderful day!

Yours
