[arwalden]

One of my favorite actors! He's a delight to watch in the Thin Man movies. I also loved him in Love Crazy, I Love You Again, and Libeled Lady.

1. I'll drink to that!

Thanks, Allen! :party:

HBD, William!

2. I loved him in My Man Godfrey

with Carole Lombard. And that Carlo the monkey imitator was hilarious too. :)

4. Also the ship's doctor in Mr. Roberts...

Turner Classic had a wonderful farce he did with Myrna Loy in the 1940s...(forgotten the title) He was a smalltime crook who had gotten hit in the head in the 1920s, got amnesia, started a new life as a banker and married Loy, then ran into a former crony , recovered his memory--but couldn't remember anything about his lfie as a banker.

7. That Delightful Movie You're Describing Is Called "I Love You Again"...

... and it's one of my favorites. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys light-hearted comedy farce. Fun stuff!

9. Thank you! It was hilarious!

And let's not forget My Man Godfrey...one of the greatest comedies in history.

6. Happy Birthday, Mr. Powell

One of my favorites when I was a kid, especially when he was teamed with Myrna Loy in the Thin Man movies. Imagine my shock when my older sister brought home The Anarchist's Cookbook authored, I thought, by him.

11. That Photo Really Captures Part Of His Personality...

... it's similar to something he does in almost every one of his movies. You know... that double-take gesture where something catches his attention, then he looks away, squints, then cuts his eyes to the side, and finally looks back with a WIDE eyed expression.

[flamingyouth]

12. Yes, it really does.

And it's just a lovely headshot - I love the sepia tint. I collect old movie photos, so I have a special appreciation. :D

13. He died at 91. Bio:

This photo was taken in his mid 60s.

Mr. Roberts was his last movie.
