HALLOWEEN IN HARMON WITH HOUDINI, AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE

Remembering Harry Houdini who died this date in 1926. 

And what better way than courtesy of CROTON HISTORY & MYSTERIES....

HALLOWEEN WITH HOUDINI IN HARMON

On Halloween, in 1922, the world-famous magician Harry Houdini gave what he called a “pseudo séance” in the Harmon home of his friend, journalist and social reformer Sophie Irene Loeb. He used the word “pseudo” when he recalled the incident in his book Magician Among Spirits, because he was famous not only for astounding feats of magic, but also for debunking the spiritualists, mediums and seers who used tricks to fool credulous people into believing they could actually communicate with the dead.

IMPORTED FROM THE USA: ANTHONY QUINN

New from our friends at European Filmstar Postcards - IMPORTED FROM THE USA: ANTHONY QUINN

Mexican-American actor Anthony Quinn (1915-2001) started as a contract player at Paramount, where he mainly played villains and ethnic types. He moved to Broadway and replaced Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. This performance boosted his film career. For his role as Brando's brother in Viva Zapata! (Elia Kazan, 1952), Quinn won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. He gave one of his best performances as the circus strongman in Federico Fellini's masterpiece La Strada (1954). Quinn won his second Supporting Actor Oscar in 1957 for his role as Gauguin in Lust for Life (Vincente Minnelli, 1956), opposite Kirk Douglas as Vincent van Gogh. Over the next decades Quinn alternated between Hollywood and the European cinema.  READ MORE HERE http://filmstarpostcards.blogspot.com/2016/10/imported-from-usa-anthony-quinn.html
