Miss Carousel

Howdy! My name is Haley and I reside in the Great State of Texas. I am an eclectic gal full of many interests and obsessions. I enjoy those old classic country tunes and underground country singer-songwriters. I could jazz it up at the Cocoanut Grove, tap my boots at the Grand Ole Opry, and waltz at the court of Versailles. I keenly keep up with politics and am thoroughly liberal. I am a history fanatic! If you think film history is just the beginning you’re in for a handful!

Fare-the-well,

Miss Carousel

victoriastation: lovelygirl: victoriastation: Got the hard copy of the first proof of my book in the post today (the foreword came, as well). It’s a bit surreal to be holding it in my hands! I love the layout and am so excited it see it take shape!  Loving the color and the pattern!!! Me, too! I personally wouldn’t have chosen that copper color, but I actually really love seeing it here on paper. And I’m very happy about the font choices!

tracylord: Norma had a great love for animals and hated to see them mistreated. One day, when she was still a girl, she encountered a group of boys torturing a squirrel that they had cornered in a maple tree on the Humber River bank where Norma would spend much time relaxing. The first thing she knew, they had tied a rope around the helpless creature and began to drag it down the road. Tearfully, Norma pleaded with the young tormentors to free the animal, but they merely laughed at her. Norma could not contain herself any longer and before she realized what she was doing she lunged at the little rascals and pounded them with her fists. The boys were stunned at this sudden attack from a girl and they quickly released the squirrel and fled. This apparently, was an early sampling of the grit she was to display, in her quest for theatrical jobs some years later. Jack Jacobs & Myron Braum, The Films of Norma Shearer
