Frank Capra looked into the future and saw a Trump presidency: And it wasn't pretty...

A world without core human values, such as kindness, empathy, a connection to one's community, caring for others, is a world doomed to crumble and fail. Trump's world, I fear, would look much like Frank Capra's "Pottersville," from It's A Wonderful Life. A place where ruthless progress (for oneself) is valued over all else. We are a strong, but also fair and compassionate country. (At least we wisely strive to be.) But, Trump does not see any longterm value in those core human values. And that is his ultimate failing. Putting others needs and first is not partisan. It's not Socialism. It is human. And we need to stay human to survive. We need a presidency where core human values are built right into the very platform for our own happiness and survival. It is our country's capacity for caring for others how we both flex and strengthen our greatest muscles. And the entire planet sees this for what it is: Beautiful and revolutionary

Rare photo collection of film icons from the golden days of Hollywood

I have to give a shout out to a my new favorite Facebook Group called  Decaying Hollywood Mansions  where I found these rare photos of some iconic Hollywood talent and beauty. Check these out these rare photos below: Fred Astaire using his svelte to tame cats      Greta Garbo.  Glorious and make-free.      James Dean in his hometown with his first cousin Dean and cousin in hometown shooting hoops in barn. James Dean's timeless iconic beauty Rock Hudson and James Dean messing about on film set of Giant ,  James Dean pretending to punch Rock Hudson in his man junk. I'm guessing this photo never  made it into Look Magazine at the  time. Marlon Brando lost in a book. Or showing us he is. Jimmy Stewart in some very disco-y ice skating attire. Robert Mitchum.  Gorgous and 100% guy.
