The coroner's private report on the death of Natalie Wood. [Nov. 20th, 2011|06:09 am]

With news that the LA County DA has reopened the case of Natalie Wood's death we bring you...

The coroner's private report on the death of Natalie Wood.

From the book Coroner - by Dr. Thomas Noguchi M.D.

When Paul Miller's report on the real facts of the death of Natalie Wood arrived, I read it - and decided not to release the document to the press. It added details the media would only call "gory" and "sensational." The report did not alter the official coroner's conclusion of an accidental drowning. So, rather than create more media indignation over "too many details," I reluctantly filed away that report. This is the first time the facts it uncovered, which re-create Natalie Wood's last moments, have been revealed by me. And it is both a tragic and a heroic story.

I really hope no one minds me asking but I'm on a pursuit for anything and everything Orson Welles.Especially personal or candid photos, and so in turn I ask this wonderful community (which I just recently discovered!) if they had anything they could share image wise and such, please.


Also I'd like to share some pics of my favorite actress as well Ella Raines )

thank you for the help and your time!



oh and P.S: if you're a fan of Mr. Welles like I am and have a tumblr account then feel free to follow the wonderful fan blog for him here.

New moderator - how's about a post about Louise Brooks? [Mar. 26th, 2009|02:52 am]

frannywentzel
Today's bleat features commentary on Pandora's Box...

http://lileks.com/bleat/?p=1718

Standards of beauty change, though - the heroine of Metropolis seems plain by
current glamour standards:



At the same time, though, in the same country, they had the startlingly modern
Louise Brooks, who I suspect would be catnip in any era:







I can't think of anyone from the silent era who seems so alive, even over the
distance of eight decades. (Yes, that's a menorah behind Miss Brooks. It's from
"Pandora's Box." She's a woman of loose morals, and perhaps the menorah is
intended to tell us why. Oh those crrrazy Germans.)
