Murder and Mayhem
The murder and mayhem I was referring to here has often been the unusual subject of popular songs throughout the years. So let us separate the facts from the fiction. In the popular song “Folsom Prison Blues” Johnny Cash might have sung about shooting a man in Reno but he never did but it did make for one popular song. The song combined the elements of two popular folk styles – the train song and the prison song. It actually became one of his signature songs. In 1968 the song recorded as a live version among inmates at Folsom State Prison rose up to number one on the Country music charts.

Remembering Katharine Hepburn
It was a sad day when on June 28, 2003 four time Oscar winner for Best Actress Katharine Hepburn died at her home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut at the age of 96. I loved most of her movies since I have always been interested in the movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Dancing to Stardom
The very first time I saw this fantastic actor, singer and dancer was in the musical “Singing In the Rain.” He was Gene Kelly, and I thought he was handsome and so talented. Afterward, I always tried to find more musicals that he starred in. Kelly was also a choreographer, and he died on February 2, 1996, at the age of 83 in Beverly Hills, California.

Dr. No Agent 007 first appeared on the big screen in 1962 in the movie “Dr. No”. One of my favorite Bond actors portrayed him – Sean Connery. In this movie Bond fought against the mysterious Dr. No who was a scientific genius bent on destroying the U.S. space program. Bond gets sent to tropical Jamaica where he encounters the first lovely Bond woman – Honey Ryder portrayed by Ursula Andress. The movie included the “James Bond Theme” played by John Barry and Orchestra.

Bond James Bond
Lots of people have been held rooted to their seats by the action packed movies which were all about a spy named James Bond. . The unforgettable character of James Bond 007 was created by writer Ian Fleming. Ian Fleming was an English author, journalist, and naval intelligence officer. He is best remembered for his James Bond series of novels. His first Bond novel was “Casino Royal” in 1952. This was followed by eleven more Bond novels and a two short-story collections. All of the novels were about James Bond, who was an officer in the Secret Intelligence Service that was known as M16. Bond was also known by his code number 007.

Thrilling Movies
I love movies that are suspenseful and scary but not those that have only blood and gore. I can handle Michael, Jason and Freddy but not for all time. I need nail biting terror that slowly builds. This is the same when it comes to reading novels which are a bit more psychological than actually frightening. For this reason I came across an article that tells about some of the great women authors who have written suspenseful novels and some of them have even been made into movies .

Here's Looking At You Kid
Ingrid Bergman is one of the many Old Hollywood actresses that I love and whose movies I could watch again and again. The interesting thing about Bergman is that she was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 29, 1915, and died of cancer in London, England, on August 29, 1982, which was her 67th birthday. Yes, you read that right, her birth and death dates are the same. I don't think I have previously known or heard of anybody who died on their birthday, but I know there must be some people at least. This legendary actress is best known for her incredible role as Ilsa Lund in the classic movie "Casablanca." The actress created quite a scandal in 1950 when she gave birth to the son of Italian director Roberto Rossellini, not having been married to him.

That’s Rock and Roll
This is another of my all time favorite singers. Eric Carmen is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. He had a number of hit songs in the 1970s and 1980s. He began singing as a member of the rock group The Raspberries. His solo hits include “All By Myself”, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again”, ‘Hungry Eyes”, and “Make Me Lose Control”.

Haunted West Virginia
Ghost stories are just ghost stories. They can scare you and set your imagination dancing. However, ghost stories that are real are the most frightening of all because you know the places that the ghosts haunt and they just might be close-by.
