I’ve seen a lot of Movie Stars
The projector doesn’t stop spinning just because the theater grows quiet. It’s a comforting thought to hold onto: every time a great screen icon takes their final bow, they aren’t stepping into the dark. They are simply walking through the celluloid screen, leaving the shadows behind to step into the permanent, brilliant light of the… Continue reading I’ve seen a lot of Movie Stars
