A devoted Van Johnson fan is trying to get a commemorative US stamp for the popular actor from the '40s and '50s. You can read her story here and sign the official petition here.
He should have a stamp. I hope there will be one for him. I may have seen "The last time I saw Paris," if I did it would be the only movie of his I saw. I have been to a lot of the places named in his titles, starting with "The White Cliffs of Dover." I may list them on my blog if I decide to push his petition. ..
Titles with places I've been: The White Cliffs of Dover, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Week-End at the Waldorf, When in Rome, Plymouth Adventure John Alden, Brigadoon, The Last Time I Saw Paris, Siege at Red River, 23 Paces to Baker Street, La muerte de un president Texas, Da Corleone a Brooklyn The Sicilian Boss, and The Purple Rose of Cairo. ..
The Brigadoon, we saw and walked across the bridge in Ayrshire, Scotland. Wikipedia says: Brigadoon (disambiguation). The Brig o' Doon, sometimes called the Auld Brig or Old Bridge of Doon is a late medieval bridge in Ayrshire. Ayrshire cattle originated there and the poet Robert Burns was born there, between Ayr and Doon. We visited his birthplace, also saw a lot of Red Ayrshire cattle. ..
"Along These Lines......" has been included in our A Sunday Drive for this week. Be assured that we hope this helps to point even more new visitors in your direction.
