1940's Day at the Cincinnati Union Terminal

  Embarking on a time-travel adventure in August, I found myself transported back to the glamorous 1940s at Cincinnati's iconic Union Terminal and Museum!   As seen on Local News 12, my family, friends, and fellow Cincinnati Actors Studio members joined me in immersing ourselves in the vintage festivities. Each year, the Union Terminal transports visitors back in time to the 1940s, featuring classic cars, big band music, costume contests, vintage vehicles, swing dancing, and more.   Decked out in authentic or replica 1940s attire, we truly looked the part. Surprisingly, my fellow actors and I clinched the 2nd place in our respective divisions, a delightful cherry on top.       With actress Barbara Stanwyck as my inspiration, I delved deep into the era, meticulously studying the fashion and accessories. Donning an original 1940s sailor dress, vintage purse, gloves, earrings, and jewelry, along with era-appropriate shoes and pantyhose, I even adorned my ha...

⭐Actors on Actors: Cary Grant on James Stewart

  “ I think the reason Jimmy stood out from the other actors was that he had the ability to talk naturally. He knew that in conversation, people do often interrupt one another and that it’s not always so easy to get a thought out. It took a little while for the sound men to get used to him, but he had an enormous impact. Some years later, Marlon Brando came out and did the same things all over again. But what people forget is that Jimmy did it first. And he affected all of us, really.” -- Cary Grant talking about James Stewart

🎹I Love the Piano! Happy World Piano Day!

  World Piano Day is celebrated on the 88th day of the year, which is the same as the number of keys on the piano         I have a passion for the piano, though I must admit I mostly enjoy playing around with the keys whenever I get the chance. To celebrate this day, I want to highlight a special type of piano featured in several classic films: the player piano, also known as the pianola. My first encounter with one was in Irving Berlin's 1948 movie, Easter Parade.  Fred Astaire & Judy Garland performing 'I Love the Piano" in Easter Parade (1948). I also recall seeing a player piano in and Harold and Maude (1971).  Well, if you want to sing out, sing out And if you want to be free, be free 'Cause there's a million things to be You know that there are Maude (Ruth Gordon) plays the piano then it plays on its own as she tries to cheer up Harold (Bud Cort) in Harold & Maude (1971). Last summer, my fiancé and I had the pleasure of visiting The His...
