Gloria Swanson is seen here in a promotional portrait taken for her silent romantic comedy film, Stage Struck (1925). Interesting note: The movie was shot on location in New Martinsville, West Virginia, making it the first feature film ever shot on location in that state

Byron to Murray 1821: My temper is what it is – and my Lady’s was a nice little sullen nucleus of concentrated Savageness – to say nothing of her two Grandmothers – both of whom were as pretty specimens of female Spirit as you might wish to see on a Summer’s day.

'Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night And wouldn't you love to love her?' This song was inspired by a #histfic about the Mabinogion. Stevie Nicks performances were dramatic ... "her Rhiannon in those days was like an exorcism." #MythologyMonday en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhiann…
