"Vertigo", directed by Alfred Hitchcock, premiered this date of 5/9/1958, starring James Stewart and Kim Novak -who was the perfect icy blonde, as shown here costumed by Edith Head. Initally the film had mixed reviews but now is considered a classic.
Are you a fan of "Veritgo"?

James Garner was born on this day in 1928.
He brought real military experience to the role of Hendley in The Great Escape (1963). He was a Korean War veteran who served as a scrounger himself and earned two Purple Hearts. Effortless, electric. Incredible.

Not a problem solver, more of a problem eliminator. Happy birthday to Timothy Dalton.

Truly an end of an era!

Chuck Norris, the martial arts champion who became an iconic action star and led the hit series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has died. He was 86.

Norris was hospitalized in Hawaii on Thursday, and his family posted a statement saying he had died Friday morning:

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.

To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.

He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.

While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.

We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way.

As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.

Thank you for loving him with us.

Happy St Patrick's Day! To celebrate, we're going to delve into the Irish men and women who left an indelible mark on the James Bond franchise!🍀

We’re very sad to hear of the passing of legendary spy novelist Len Deighton, author of THE IPCRESS FILE.

He was a key figure in redefining the spy genre in the 1960s with a colder, more grounded take on espionage.

A true giant of the spy fiction.

[SpyHards - A Spy Movie Podcast @SpyHards]

THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) — the spy film that put Michael Caine on the map and gave 007 a run for his money.

With the passing of Len Deighton, now feels like the perfect time to revisit it.

But is it the best non-Bond spy film of the ’60s?

[Stuart Grist @StuartGrist]

@roseygrow_ Oh a 10 for sure!

[James Bond @007]

The name on everybody’s lips.

Can you guess how many times Bond was said in LICENCE TO KILL?

@realroseyxo I'd take you out to dinner anytime!
