Event Through USC SCA

"Out Of The Archives" is an event happening now at USC SCA (aka, where I go to school). There is a huge collection of USC Warner Bros. Archives, stills from films, including Casablanca, on display from today September 16th through December 12th. The event is taking place at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (you might know them for the "Oscars") in the Academy Grand Lobby Gallery . Admission is free-- so if you're in the Los Angeles area, you should check it out! There are also rare photos of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, among others.

I'm hoping to get a free minute to get over there and see the photos... this semester has been insanely busy! Hope everyone is doing well.

Ingridly love,

Alexis

Thanks Arabella! Ingrid Presents!

This video is fantastic! Thank you Arabella! Hope you enjoy the blog! :)

What?!

This is a clip of Ingrid Bergman presenting Ray Milland with his "Oscar." (during a rehearsal)


I guess she messed up the speech, or someone threw off the speech taping... you'll notice it in the beginning. I think it's a little glimpse into Ingrid's personality...she probably had it down, knew what to do, and was ready...then someone threw off her groove. NO ONE THROWS OFF INGRID'S GROOVE!! lol.
Enjoy this clip as well as Ingrid's Academy Awards for 1944's Gaslight





...and 1956's Anastasia

Clip here

Cary Grant is all the way on the right holding the Academy Award he accepted for Ingrid. Ingrid said in her auto/biographies that she was in the tub when she won (in Europe) and her son Robertino ran in and told her that he heard her name on the radio. The child did not speak English so didn't quite know what was happening, but Ingrid told the story for laughs, because she accepted one of her Oscars from afar, naked. Lol.
