“There is very little from my childhood that physically remains; most places now only exist as  reverent memories..this place is one of them; the San Jacinto Monument.  It was a regular destination with my grandparents when they just wanted to get out and go for a ride…which was all the time.  I grew up in a car, always going somewhere, always in motion, never settled. The Monument calls out to me..it houses cherished reminiscences of my Mama and Papa, both now gone.” V. L. Mobley

I love Fellini!

Tonight I am watching (probably for the 900th time) 8 1/2 which I have always adored.  I never get tired of watching it, the cinematography and visuals are still beautiful.  The thing I  love about Fellini films is this: the plot is always based around the central character who is clearly experiencing inner turmoil, or doubt, perhaps it is religious guilt.   Marcello Mastroianni and Anouk Aimee were amazing in the film and the ensemble cast give the movie a whimsical, human depth.

The two sisters appeared in two film together: "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort" aka "The Young Girls of Rochefort" and " Les portes claquent" aka "The Door Slams...
