5th Anniversary Giveaway Winner!

The winner of the Out of the Past ~ A Classic Film Blog 5th Anniversary Giveaway is...

CONNIE

Congratulations Connie and thank you to everyone who entered. Here is Connie's entry for the contest (the prompt was to either tell me about your favorite classic Hollywood couple or your favorite wedding-themed classic movie):

"Happy Anniversary! My favorite is 'The Quiet Man', with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara from 1952. It's got everything from drama, comedy, amazing scenery, great acting, and a wonderful love story between two stubborn, loving, lost souls who truly need each other. Conspiring friends do their part to help this couple overcome their own stubbornness and family obstacles, so that they learn not only to love each other, but more importantly, to trust in each other. ♥ - Connie

God Speed Ernest Borgnine

Ernest Borgnine (1917-2012)

Hearing the news today broke my heart. I'll miss you buddy. I loved your big goofy grin, it always lit up the screen. And you were such a great character actor. Thank you for all the wonderful entertainment over the years.

God Speed Andy Griffith

Thank you for all that energy you brought to the screen. Rest in peace.

Congratulations to Frank and Diane!

My good friend and co-worker Frank got married on June 23rd. Frank is a big classic film buff and over the past 5 years we have bonded over movies. We've exchanged many a classic film DVD and book. He and his new wife Diane have been so nice to Carlos and I even though we can be a little crazy. Frank's also been a regular reader of this blog too (and for that I'm eternally grateful). We had the pleasure of attending their wedding and I wanted to take a moment to say Congratulations to them both! They are on their honeymoon in France at the time of this post and I hope they are enjoying it.
