"Gene Kelly insulted Debbie Reynolds for not being able to dance. Fred Astaire, who was hanging around the studio, found her crying under a piano and helped her with her dancing."
One of my favourite bits of old-time trivia <3 (via love-yours-truly)
A photograph taken during a puppet show in Paris. Each delightful child reacts in an extreme and distinct way to the moment when St. George slays the dragon, displaying a range of emotions — amusement, horror, triumph, fear — that hints at the many facets of the human experience.

“I used to go through different stages. But then I found that I was happiest when I was green, so I’ve been green for 15 years.”
"My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of ‘Gone With the Wind’, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It’s actually one of the things that you live and die for."
