I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.

To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Simone Simon, 1910-2005 20 PAGES OF SIMONE SIMON PICTURES Noted French actress Simone Simon died in February. She was born April 23, 1910 and passed on February 22, 2005 at age 94.
Here she is in her 1936 prime:
Sorry for being this late in hearing the news, but news of her passing cannot go unremarked. This is because of her performance as Belle in the classic 1941 film of All That Money Can Buy, aka The Devil and Daniel Webster.
She was best known for her role as Irena Reed in Cat People the following year (1942), but her performance in The Devil and Daniel Webster rates as one of the hottest evil chick roles ever. "Belle" or "Bella Dee" was actually a demon summoned up by ol' Scratch as a nanny to young Daniel Stone- and to monitor and further corrupt his daddy.
Burned particularly hard into my memory, she has a scene with the infant Daniel in the cradle. She's bent over him, gently singing this alluring, evil lullaby. I don't know how much of her effect is from the writing vs her pure physical presence vs actual acting. I just know she rocked my little world.
With some proper motherly love and a good spanking from his godfather Senator Webster, the boy was saved from Belle's wickedness.
I, however, was permanently imprinted with her demonic corruption. Now Ms Simon has gone on to her "reward."
