The Pink Panther

As a kid I was always watching reruns of old movies on t.v. I really thought the Pink Panther series was funny- but, I don't think that I saw the original Pink Panther movie until I was in my twenties.

1963's The Pink Panther has everything you could want to help keep you entertained: the hilarious Peter Sellers, the dashing David Niven, a young Robert Wagner, the classical beauty Capucine, the pouty Claudia Cardinale, elegant costumes for Capucine and Claudia Cardinale by Yves Saint-Laurent, a catchy and entertaining musical performance by Fran Jeffries (who I think Lady Miss Kier of Deee-lite bears a strong resemblance to), and a costume party filled with over the top costumes!

A Merry Christmas

"I think I will take to smoking"

"I suppose you have forgotten me by this time so I will send this to let you know I am still on earth. How is every 'little' thing in Mo. There is quite a bit to do here this winter as we have two fine new opera houses and a good show every once in a while. I am going home Xmas as usual. It would not seem quite right to be anyplace else".

Mailed from C.N.S. in Waterloo, Iowa to Miss L.L. Buren in Princeton, Mo. on December 23, 1907
