Gloria Swanson

On the right is the iconic portrait of her by Steichen

I recreated his photo on the left. This is my daughter, hat bought in charity shop, black netting from old skirt and my cherished diamond ring. She gave me 5 minutes to take this before she started tutting.

Steichen shot portraits of film stars and he took a lovely shot of Greta Garbo which you can see in this Vanity Fair link

I am having chicken curry from scratch this evening and at 4pm I will be watching classic film noir ‘Laura’ on Talking Pictures and at 11pm ‘La Haine’ on Film 4. This is a gritty classic but I could be in response by then

Lovely day in Dublin
