Of those authors are two of the most recognized Sir Thomas Malory and Mary Stewart. Though the dates of which they lived were separate (Malory -1400's; Stewart -1900's), their love and interest of the Legend must have been equally great.

Writer and film critic Roger Ebert once said that the Hitchcock Blonde, “…reflected the same qualities over and over again: They were blonde. They were icy and remote. They were imprisoned in costumes that subtly combined fashion with fetishism. They mesmerized the men, who often had physical or psychological handicaps…” Much of this is true of Grace Kelly’s character Lisa Fremont in Rear Window: although she is neither icy nor remote, she is very fashionable and must rise to the occasion of the
James Stewart "In a career of extraordinary range and depth, Jimmy Stewart has come to embody on screen the very image of the typical American....

Baby Once More Walking down the New York streets, you can’t turn your head without seeing joggers, dog walkers or baby strollers. Newly adult, I find myself weirdly surrounded by those babies who aren’t supposed to be in my life at all. At times, I find myself being stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, where a traffic jam isn’t supposed to happen, blocked by baby strollers.
