What if they made "Star Wars: The Musical"? That's the question we're asking ourselves today. The answers are appearing today on our Twitter page. So far, we have:Act 1, Scene 3: The jawas break in to "It's a Hard Knock Life."Act 2, Scene 24: Luke sings, "You can take my hand and my pride, but I still won't join the Dark Side."Act 2, Scene 12: Stormtroopers dance in background while Darth

Carole Landis Carole Landis had a difficult life, starting from her childhood. But her determination -- and a major change in her identity -- helped her rise to fame in the 1940's. Unfortunately, the tragic beginning would foresee an even more tragic end.She was born Frances Lillian Mary Ridste in Fairchild, Wisconsin. Her father abandoned the family at an early age, two of her brothers died

She was born to a Vaudevillian comic in New York City, and was already on stage with her parents by the age of three.She hit it big in Sinner's Holiday in 1930, captivating audiences against James Cagney; she would be teamed with Cagney in many more films.

Dr. Macro's site, as always, provides the highest-quality scans, and his section dedicated to one of the best films of all time, Sunset Blvd., is no exception.
