Bogart, The African Queen, Bold Venture

Here is a bit of history of the making of the movie "The African Queen"


The African Queen was filmed mostly on location in Africa, where almost all the cast and crew suffered from malaria and dysentery—except director John Huston and Bogart, neither of whom ever drank any water. Hepburn, ever the urologist's daughter, disapproved of the two men's drinking and piously drank gallons of water each day to spite them. She wound up so sick with dysentery that, even months after she returned home, the famously vigorous actress was still ill.

Not many know that Humphrey Bogart and his wife Lauren Bacall starred in their own radio show, "Bold Venture"

For the October update I have added photos of those appearing on the "Gisele Of Canada" old radio show webpages. Not many remember the radio show even when considering many of the top stars of the period graced Gisele's show.

Ginny Simms old radio show

Added photos to the webpage of those appearing on the Ginny Simms old radio show.  A great little show, you should give it a try.  http://www.originaloldradio.com/  and http://www.radioshowcds.com/
Just added photos of the stars for the old radio show "The Great Gildersleeve". I hope to have finished all the web pages with Star Photos by the end of the year. Look for the Gildersleeve photos in the October update. I think many enjoy seeing who starred in what show, not to mention the memories the photos bring back. http://www.originaloldradio.com/  or http://www.radioshowcds.com/
