R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P.
They say it comes in threes. This week, three influential talents in Hollywood that you might not have known about have passed away: Glenn Ford, Ed Benedict and Joseph Stefano.
May 1, 1916 – August 30, 2006
Actor Glenn Ford starred as the teacher in Blackboard Jungle and played Pa Kent in the 1978 Superman movie. His other memorable roles include Gilda and The Courtship of Eddie's Father (the movie, not the TV series starring the kid who would go on to become a hardcore punk singer in real life).
August 23, 1912 – August 28, 2006
Cartoonist Ed Benedict was a designer and layout artist who started out working for Tex Avery at MGM. He'd soon move on to Hanna-Barbera, where he designed Quick Draw McGraw (who, I suspect, would later influence the drawling speech patterns of Dr. Phil McGraw), The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss and other icons of the golden age of animation. Heavens to Murgatroyd.
May 5, 1922 - August 25, 2006
Screenwriter Joseph Stefano wrote the screenplay to Psycho (and added the famous shower scene, which wasn't in the book) and co-created the TV series, The Outer Limits.

Happy Birthday, Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was born 107 years ago today on August 13, 1899. To commemorate the Master of Suspense's birthday, I've photographed my toy tribute to some of his most popular and iconic films (including two of my all-time favorite movies, Vertigo and North by Northwest).
Meanwhile, M. Night Shyamalan rang in his 36th birthday last week on August 6, and in a typical anticlimactic twist, the event was a self-indulgent celebration of himself that no one could really give a crap about.
