Elizabeth Taylor receiving her Cartier diamond and ruby suite, consisting of a pair of earrings, bracelet, and necklace, from husband Mike Todd in 1957. “We had rented a villa, La Fiorentina, just outside Monte Carlo near St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, about three months into our marriage.” Elizabeth recalled in her book, ‘My Love Affair with Jewellery’. “I was in the pool, swimming laps at our home, and Mike came outside to keep me company. I got out of the pool and put my arms around him, and he said, ‘Wait a minute, don’t joggle your tiara.’ Because I was wearing my tiara in the pool! He was holding a red leather box, and inside was a ruby necklace, which glittered in the warm light. It was like the sun, lit up and made of red fire. First, Mike put it round my neck and smiled. Then he bent down and put matching earrings on me. Next came the bracelet. Since there was no mirror around, I had to look into the water. The jewelry was so glorious, ripping red on blue like a painting. I just shrieked with joy, put my arms around Mike’s neck, and pulled him into the pool after me. It was a perfect summer day and a day of perfect love.” The 3 piece set was sold separately at Christie’s Auction in 2011. The Cartier Collection bought the necklace for $3,778,500, and the earrings and bracelet were sold to a private buyer for $782,500 and $842,500.

“I never swallowed an egg," Paul Newman said about this scene from Cool Hand Luke (1967), in which his character bets he can eat 50 hard-boiled eggs in an hour. When asked, “Isn’t Method acting about doing the real thing?” Newman replied, “Not if you have to swallow eggs.”

Cary Grant being mesmerized by Grace Kelly in her beach ensemble, designed by Edith Head, in To Catch a Thief (1955). “I think the most memorable and honest actress I’ve ever worked with was Grace Kelly,” Cary Grant said. “Grace had a kind of serenity, a calmness .... She was so relaxed in front of the camera that she made it look simple. She made acting look as easy as Frank Sinatra made singing appear.”

Key Largo (1948), with Edward G. Robinson whispering obscenities into Lauren Bacall’s ear. Initially Richard Brooks had rewritten the dialogue from the play without the obscenities in order to appease the Production Code, but director John Huston decided to eliminate the dialogue altogether, electing to have Robinson whisper them so that the audience couldn’t hear. #noirvember

In 1942, Clark Gable's wife, Carole Lombard, passed away in an airplane crash. He was emotionally and physically devastated, and decided to join the Army Air Force. Although he was beyond the draft age at the time the U.S. entered World War II, he enlisted as a private in the Army Air Force on Aug. 12, 1942, at Los Angeles. He attended the Officers' Candidate School at Miami Beach, Florida, and graduated as a second lieutenant on Oct. 28. He then attended aerial gunnery school and in February 1943, on personal orders from Gen. Hap Arnold, went to England to make a motion picture about aerial gunners in action. He was assigned to the 351st Bomb Group at Polebrook, and although neither ordered nor expected to do so, flew operational missions over Europe in B-17s to obtain the combat film footage he believed was required for producing the movie, titled "Combat America." Gable returned to the U.S. in October 1943 and was relieved from active duty as a major on June 12, 1944, at his own request, since he was over-age for combat. Because his motion picture production schedule made it impossible for him to fulfill his AAF Reserve officer duties, he resigned his commission on Sept. 26, 1947. Two years after the death of his wife, Clark joined Irene Dunne to launch the USS Carole Lombard, in honor of Carole and her dedication to her country. After leaving the military, Gable jumped back into acting and retained his star status. #oldhollywood #clarkgable #carolelombard
