Remembering the legendary film title designer Saul Bass, born on this day in 1920 ❣️With his mesmerizing graphic compositions, Bass transformed opening credits into an art form, collaborating with directors such as Otto Preminger, Hitchcock, Kubrick, and Scorsese.
Gloria Swanson recalling a silent film scene she did in a lion’s pit for Cecil B DeMille in 1919.
Despite the danger, 20-year-old Swanson insisted on performing the scene herself.

BOWIE ON DINAH! FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY
“'Cos you can never really tell when somebody wants something you want too...”
Fifty years ago today (3rd March 1976), CBS in America broadcast Bowie's appearance on Dinah Shore’s chat show: Dinah!
Recorded the previous month while Bowie was in LA, he performed Stay and Five Years with the then current tour band...
David Bowie • Vocals
Carlos Alomar • Guitar
Dennis Davis • Drums
Tony Kaye • Keyboards
George Murray • Bass
Stacey Heydon • Guitar
Bowie sat and chatted with the other guests who included: Nancy Walker, Henry Winkler, Natalie Cole and Candy Clark.
Also present was Dwain Vaughns who demonstrated a few karate moves on Bowie. Neither of the men were hurt during the making of the show.
You can find the full broadcast on YouTube, including both songs, though sadly not in the kind of quality that the Nacho's Videos Five Years teaser we’ve used here boasts.

End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
