My favorite Presidents' story is about Silent Cal Coolidge. A woman sitting next to him in an audience said to him, "I made a bet that I could get you to say more than two words." Coolidge replied, "You lose." (Probably not in a movie, though.)
ReplyDeleteHi, Fred. Silent Cal sure knew how to maintain his image.
ReplyDeleteone of my favourite jean arthur films! i love that little car her friends drive around in. in "the actress nobody knew," she claims that the reason she married her first husband, julian ackner, was because he resembled lincoln. i wonder if the inclusion of that photo was some kind inside joke!
ReplyDeleteI understand her then current husband, Frank Ross, was part of the writing team for this movie, and the character was actually written for her. So, it could have been an inside joke. She must have been a real Honest Abe fan.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of presidents day: Happy Presidents Pets Day - the day after Presidents Day, as I like to call it. In the US, of course we love our presidents..... pets. See my blog if you’re in the mood for a good ol' irreverent howl.
