Jeanne Cooper

Born Wilma Jeanne Cooper in Kern County, California, she was one of the longest-serving serial television actors in American media. Jeanne was best known for her role as Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless. Jeanne Cooper had a face lift on national television while playing the role of Katherine. I have enjoyed seeing Jeanne portray Katherine over these last few years and it will be strange not having her on the show.

Jeanne Cooper received ten Daytime Emmy nominations, nine for Outstanding Lead Actress and one for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and two Primetime Emmy nominations. She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Daytime Emmys in 2004. For her contributions to television, Cooper received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She won the 2008 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

Jeanne Cooper became ill from an infection shortly after promotion for the 40th anniversary of The Young and the Restless . She passed away on May 8, 2013, at the age of 84.

Ray Harryhausen

 

 

I don't really think Ray Harryhausen needs to be described. Everyone knows that he was a special effects creator, writer and producer. Just a few months ago, I watched She on DVD and Ray was talking about how much he loved that movie, just his love of the musical score, and how he hoped the younger generation would find an appreciation for it. Ray was born in Los Angeles. At thirteen, he had seen King Kong and this was the movie that ultimately inspired him to chose the career he obviously loved. Numerous movies and a couple books have paid homage to Ray Harryhausen. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He is in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Although he passed away on May 7, 2013, his legacy will live on forever in the eyes of movie lovers the world over.

 

 

Marx Brothers

I came across this work of art while browsing for pictures of the Marx Brothers. It was done by Dick Bobnick , and I really like it. I think he did a wonderful job!

Remedy

A while back, I was searching for old natural remedies and came across one for headaches. The remedy was: to cure a headache, just take a potato, slice it, sprinkle a little pepper on it, put it in a white cloth, and apply for an hour or more. I tried this the other day. I put the potato in a napkin and folded it. It actually worked! When I put the potato on my head, the headache was gone a little while later! I guess some of those old remedies do work. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers with headaches!

Honey West and Emma Peel

 

Honey West and Emma Peel were two very glamorous women. Honey was more glamorous than Emma, but Emma was elegant in her own way. I recently started watching Honey West and I am excited to continue with the series! If only we had shows like this nowadays!

Admiral Twin Drive In

 

I first heard of the Admiral Twin Drive In through an issue of Country Living magazine. The theater is in Oklahoma, and it caught my eye because I like the history of drive-ins. This one recently caught fire, but the owners got enough money to rebuild. I am glad because it has a lot of history and has been around for almost sixty years. I love when people care enough about the past to want to preserve it for future generations.

Old- Fashioned Beauty

Nowadays, women go to extremes to achieve beauty. They have surgeries, pay hundreds of dollars for creams, and so much more. In the old days, women used natural, inexpensive remedies, because it was what they could afford and they knew all the remedies to use.

Some beauty tips...

Effective Face Mask :Mix the pulp of an orange with one of two spoons of honey. Apply it on your face and leave it on for approximately 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. When done, your skin should feel soft and velvety.

Original French Cologne : Take one liter (90% alcohol), mix in 4 grams each of the following: orange blossoms, rosemary, citron-tree, bergamot. Allow to stand for 24 hours, filter and it is ready to use.

For Tired Eyes :Dampen two envelopes of chamomile tea with warm water. Put one envelope on each eye and listen to relaxing music. Keep it on for about 20 minutes, and when you’re done, your eyes will be noticeably better.
OR mix cotton with milk and put on eyes .Leave it on for as long as you want. This helps dark circles.

Soft Skin Fix :While in the shower,soap up your body with your favorite soap and before rinsing off use yellow cornmeal as a scrub on your skin ( do not apply cornmeal with a towel, apply with moistened hands) and when it is rinsed your skin will feel great. It removes all dead skin, leaving  vibrant and softer skin. This can be used on your face as well.
