Musical Stylings with Kathryn Grayson

I adore Kathryn Grayson. The first clip is Kathryn singing Mimi's Aria from, LA BOHEME. The second is from the movie, "The Toast of New Orleans," with Mario Lanza. And the last is from, "So This Is Love," a bio-pic on Grace Moore.

My God! She is magnificent.

I want to take lessons from her. She gives master classes these days. She heads the voice and choral studies program at Idaho State University.

Hm...

I love potatoes...

Currently watching: Kiss Me Kate

"L'important C'est D'aimer"

The film that opened up my eyes to Romy Schneider's unbelievable beauty and talent. It is not my first Romy film ("The Trial" was BUT I didn't know who she was at the time and my focus was on Jeanne Moreau. I do remember how taken I was with Romy's charm and smile. She had this child-like quality. ... You can read all about that in one of my earlier blogs).

It's a tough film to watch. It's raw and vulnerable. Just like Romy.

The third clip is my favorite scene in the film. The second clip comes in at a close second.
