A power couple! Bogart, like his iconic movies, will live on forever. It never gets old watching The African Queen, Casablanca, and so many others! 🎥🎬🖤

Both Marilyn Monroe and Kenneth Williams would have been 100 this year. Coincidence? I think not

During stunt training once, we filmed a scene with four women fighting in a big slimy puddle. It was a one take kinda deal and the cameraman got so distracted he forgot to pan to the rest of the shot. Men really can’t be trusted with making films. 😉 😂

My favorite trivia about today being Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday is that today is also Andy Griffith’s 100th birthday.
