Nice collection. That Ann Miller WAS a Texas firecracker but for some reason the Debbie Reynolds one with the sort of spinning halo tickles me.

The best ones (Kurt and DDL) need no caption.

For a second, I thought Rita Hayworth was Ann Sheridan. Were they the Chastain-Howard ginger lookalikes of their day?

For me, the banner says it all. Such a gorgeous shot of Ennis/Ledger turned away - perfectly captured by Lee and Prieto, I think he would be celebrating this particular 4th a little differently (less public brawl, more public make-out?).

So glad you included Miss Piggy!

If I could add anyone it would be Arlene and Betsy from Dick. They are gorgeous in their hippy stars-and-stripes! Dunst and Williams need another project together.

My goodness, young Kurt was a national treasure. Y'all should be proud.

Elisabeth Shue...Thanks for the reminder. Wow!

My pick is Daniel Day Lewis. Always. There are actors and there is him. Wonder when we will see him again.

But where's Holly Hunter as "Miss Firecracker"???

July 4, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterRV

Ugh Kurt Russell..
Just watched 22 Jump Street, and his son is a great treasure too.

SNL comedian Vanessa Bayer always reminds me of Ann Miller. I think it's the cheeks.

Re: Channing's arm tattoo, the backwards flag is an Army patch worn facing that direction to give the effect of the flag "flying in the air as the soldier marches forward."

John -- interesting. thanks for englightening me. at first i thought someone had flipped the image but then i realized they hadn't because the other tattoos are correct

RV -- wanted to include by the internet only has teeny tiny pics of her in that. I should rent solely to get screenshots
