My Aunt Clara subscribed to many movie magazines I would read in her basement when I was about 11 or 12. This experience explains my initial interest in movie stars, although my cutoff date would be about 1963, right after Marilyn Monroe died. That’s right, I live in the past.

@KeithNHumphreys Although I posted the rejection, there is some doubt that it was actually offered to Colman. He knew he wasn’t right for it.
