Remembering the sparkling Margaret Lockwood, born on September 15, 1916 in Karachi, India. She was the lead actress in my favourite film (The Lady Vanishes) and I try to see as many of her films as possible, but some are really hard to find. So far I’ve seen 33!

Remembering my favourite actress, the great Ingrid Bergman, who was born 111 years ago, on August 29, 1915 in Stockholm, Sweden. Unfortunately, today also marks 44 years since she left. For the occasion, I re-watched Gaslight and now I started The Visit for the first time. So far so good!
