Nostalgic theme of the past

02/18/2025

In late 1982, Samantha Reed Smith, a fifth grader from Manchester, Maine, wrote a plaintive letter to Soviet leader Andropov. She said that she was “worrying about Russia and the United States getting into a nuclear war. Are you going to have a war or not?” A few months later, Smith’s letter was reprinted in Russia and it was announced that Andropov was writing a response. Smith received his letter in April 1983. Andropov assured Smith that he did not want a nuclear war with the United States or any other country. Calling Smith a “courageous and honest” little girl, Andropov closed the letter with an invitation for her to visit the Soviet Union. In July, accompanied by her parents, Smith embarked on a two-week trip. She was a hit in the Soviet Union, and although she did not get to meet with Andropov, she traveled widely and spoke to numerous groups and people.

Smith pursued her role as a media celebrity when in 1984, billed as a “Special Correspondent”, she hosted a children’s special for the Disney Channel entitled Samantha Smith Goes To Washington...Campaign ‘84. The show covered politics, where Smith interviewed several candidates for the 1984 presidential election.

In 1985, she played the co-starring role of the elder daughter to Robert Wagner’s character in the television series, Lime Street

On August 25, 1985, Smith and her father were returning home aboard Bar Harbor Airlines Flight 1808 after filming a segment for Lime Street. While attempting to land at Lewiston-Auburn Regional Airport in Auburn, Maine, the Beechcraft 99 commuter plane struck some trees 4,007 feet (1,221 m) short of the runway and crashed, killing all six passengers and two crew on board.

Samantha Smith was mourned by about 1,000 people at her funeral in Augusta, Maine, and was eulogized in Moscow as a champion of peace. Attendees included Robert Wagner and Vladimir Kulagin of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C., who read a personal message of condolence from Mikhail Gorbachev.

In October 1968, Aristotle Onassis married Jacqueline Kennedy.

Alexander Onassis and his sister Christina were upset. They had hoped that their father might remarry their mother.

Alexander said: “My father loves names and Jackie loves money.”

Alexander and his sister were friendly with her children, Caroline & John, and Alex would occasionally let his stepbrother ride at the controls of his plane but Jackie made little effort to win them over.

“Since my father married, I have no home,” he said.

When Jackie arrived on Skorpios, Alexander left immediately. On the rare occassons that he did stay, he made his feelings plain Once when Jackie was lunching at Glyfada with Onassis, Alexander refused to join them. Ari left the table several times to try to persuade him to come down and eat with them returning without him and angrier than ever Finally Alexander came down and sat at the table.

Alexander even forbade his driver to let her use his car. Jackie was under no allusion about the depth of his hostility.

January 22, 1973 Alexander was at the controls of his plane when seconds after take-off, the plane hit the runway, leaving Alexander with irreversible brain damage. As family & friends gathered at the Athens hospital where he lay in deep coma, his face shattered and the right side of his brain a pulp, Jackie did something so shocking and it showed her insensitivity and hard side. She approached Fiona Thyssen, whom Alexander had hoped to marry, to ask if she knew what Ari was proposing to offer her as a divorce settlement. Taken aback, Fiona replied that was a question she should ask her husband.

Jackie knew that Onassis planned to rid himself of her & she was desperate to know what he had in mind. Nothing else can explain her crude approach to Fiona at a time of such anguish. Jackie, of course, could only experience the anguish by proxy: Alexander had detested her & had been consistently rude to her. But his death was a tragedy for her also: it destroyed Onassis as a man and all resemblance of a relationship between them.

Ralph “Johnny” Foody behind the scenes in Home Alone’s faux gangster film, 1990.

“I’m gonna give you to the count of 10 to get your ugly, yellow, no-good keister off my property before I pump your guts full of lead.”

“All right, Johnny, I’m sorry,” Guido replied, backing away. “I’m going.”

“One. Two. Ten!”

If you’ve desperately searched for Angels with Filthy Souls you’ve probably come up with nothing. That’s because the movie that Kevin was so obsessed with in Home Alone is not an actual movie. This notion has shocked people, as the clips of AWFS we see in Home Alone could have been ripped from the pages of our favorite noir films

The legendary scene was shot in just one day, at the abandoned New Trier West High School gymnasium on the last day of shooting before the movie’s principal photography started. A lot of the movie was shot at the gymnasium, and the set only consisted of two walls, along with a lot of props like venetian blinds, a desk lamp, and a gramophone, and other props to “olden” up the look of the set.

On the night of the shoot, with Guido and Foody steadily camping up their performances for the camera, the on-set atmosphere was jocular. “Think about what a unique sequence it was within the film,” “No children, a very simple shot plan, the exaggerated style of acting, the crazy action. . . . Given the rest of the film, it was kind of a party!”

Reeking of authenticity, Angels with Filthy Souls is not just a uniquely persuasive parody. It’s the perfect movie-within-a-movie: a one-minute-and-20-second noir-in-a-nutshell that feels like a fleeting glimpse of a long-lost classic. Its dialogue is crisp, the characters and performances credible, the rapid escalation of its drama enthralling. Plus it culminates in not just the most memorable utterance in Home Alone but one of the great movie lines of all time: “Keep the change, ya filthy animal”.

Seeing Beauty In A Cold Winter New York City With Saul Leiter.

Saul Leiter found warmth in the rain and snow falling on New York City.

He was spotted by Edward Steichen, who included 23 of Leiter’s photographs in Always the Young Stranger at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953 and 20 of Leiter’s colour images in the 1957 MoMA conference Experimental Photography in Color. And as far as fame goes that was largely it until many years later.

“I spent a great deal of my life being ignored” he told the New Yorker’s Vince Aletti. “I was always very happy that way. Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.” But fame did arrive.

I’m the early 1980s Leiter was faced with financial difficulties that forced the closure of his Fifth Avenue studio. For the next two decades he lived and worked virtually unknown. In 2006, with the help of the art historian Martin Harrison and Howard Greenberg Gallery, the groundbreaking monograph Saul Leiter: Early Color was published by Gerhard Steidl in Germany. What Leiter called his “little book” became an overnight sensation with worldwide distribution and firmly established the artist as an early pioneer in the history of color photography.

City carrier delivering packages in the snow in 1950.

The carrier’s vehicle was designated to carry parcels only, not letter mail. By 1949, the post-World War II boom pushed mail volumes to unprecedented heights. A large part of the increase was in parcels, as growing families looked to mail order catalogs for more and more of their household goods. Before city carriers were assigned vehicles to carry both parcel and letter mail at the same time, parcel post deliveries were made separately.

Rita Aaron’s floats in the pool in a picture taken by her photographer husband Slim Aaron’s, 1954. Note the “Hollywood” sign in the background.

Few details are known about the festive photo, one of Slim’s most iconic, but Mary offers some context: “It was a hired house and hired kids, and my mom’s big recollections were that it was a really cold, really dirty pool and that because they wanted everything to line up just right (and obviously it was her husband taking the picture), he made her stay in there a really long time,” says Mary. “She was freezing and mad. It looks idyllic now, but to get it just right in a cold and dirty pool took a while.”

Mary estimates the photo session might have taken an hour or an hour and a half. “He didn’t use lights, and I would guess—I’m not great at perspectives but I’m looking at it now because I put it out every Christmas—he’s standing on the diving board or a ladder at the other end of the pool.”

“I’m not that old,” Mary jokingly asserts when asked about people thinking she was one of the kids in the picture. “I came around a couple of years later.” Who they are remains a mystery, as does the location of the house. Mary, who lovingly keeps up with all the latest discoveries relating to her father, tells me there’s a big debate on the exact address of the house. Though Los Angeles was a city Slim and his wife spent a bit of time in, the house was not one they ever occupied—simply a set that offered a marvelous view of the Hollywood sign. “A lot of people think it’s Baldwin Hills,” says Mary. “Somewhere, somebody does know where that house is. It doesn’t look like the kind of house that would still be there now. It’s probably been razed. But it works. It was a beautiful picture.”

Probably the most well-known Coca Cola advertisements are the Santa Claus portraits. A little boy catches Santa in the refrigerator getting a Coca-Cola Santa, at his desk, working on his presents list — all created by Haddon Sundblom.

He painted a new, more “human” Santa Claus for Coke ads and billboards all over the country. The Santa works, painted from 1931 to the late ’60s, portray a robust figure standing six feet tall — a very jovial man with twinkling eyes.

Sundblom first used a retired salesman for his model. When this gentleman died, the artist searched far and wide for a new model until a friend suggested he use his own face.

Probably more than anything else, Sundblom’s images of Santa Claus molded our national concept of the jolly old man, and it’s lasted through changing tastes and electronic times.

On Christmas Eve, 1946, small-town banker George Bailey finds himself embroiled in a scandal, and overwhelmed by the feeling that he is a personal failure. Stopped from leaping to his death by awkward guardian angel Clarence, Bailey recounts his eventful life on the road to ruin, from his marriage to high-school sweetheart Mary to his final showdown with town tyrant Mr. Potter.

The quintessential Frank Capra film and a heartwarming holiday treat year in and year out, “Life” is the ultimate optimistic statement on the value of love, life, and community. Capra’s masterful handling of the bittersweet storyline — in which Bailey sacrifices his own dreams to run the family savings-and-loan business and keep his hometown of Bedford Falls out of Potter’s greedy paws — is pure Hollywood magic. Reed and Barrymore give exceptional performances, but Stewart, in one of his all-time great roles is the dynamic, all-too-human force holding it all together.

“Life” is nostalgic and achingly sentimental, but doesn’t shrink from portraying the dark side of American life. If “Zuzu’s petals” don’t put a lump in your throat, wait till a revivified George finds a special surprise waiting for him back home. Let those tear ducts flow, because “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

It’s been 25 summers today that John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and he

It’s been 25 summers today that John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, took off on a humid, windy, and hazy night in a single-engine Piper 32 Saratoga aircraft from Caldwell, N.J., en route to the Martha’s Vineyard Airport, but never arrived. John’s single-engine, six-seat Piper Saratoga I took off from Essex County Airport in Fairfield, N.J., at 8:38 p.m. Friday for the hour-long flight to Martha’s Vineyard. At Martha’s Vineyard, John was to drop off Lauren. From there, John and Carolyn were to fly on to the Kennedy compound on Cape Cod’s Hyannis Port for the marriage of Rory Kennedy. John’s plane came close enough to an American Airlines plane that a radar controller alerted the crew on the jetliner. The last signal from the plane was transmitted at 9:39 pm, and at 9:41 p.m, the plane spiraled through the darkening sky, slamming into the Atlantic Ocean. More than 24 hours after the plane vanished, there still was no sign of survivors, and fear grew that the star-crossed political dynasty had suffered another tragedy. As family members gathered to pray, instead of celebrating a wedding, debris indicating the plane had broken apart began washing up on the southern beaches of Martha’s Vineyard. Witnesses reported finding a headrest, portions of landing gear, carpeting, and a prescription bottle bearing Carolyn Kennedy’s name. By nightfall, the boy who broke the world’s heart on his third birthday in 1963 when he solemnly saluted his slain father’s coffin was presumed dead. The Kennedy plane was found in about 100 feet of water 7.5 miles southwest of Martha’s Vineyard on July 21, 1999. The first sign of wreckage was recovered 100 yards off Philbin Beach in Aquinnah. Navy divers recovered the bodies of John, Carolyn, and Lauren. They were all strapped in their seatbelts in the aircraft wreckage, with Kennedy still in the cockpit. Americans mourned the loss of the “crown prince” of one

The moment that changed America, 1963. Sixty one years ago today, Americans of all stripes were shocked when Walter Cronkite told them, wiping away tears, that John F. Kennedy had been shot and killed in Dallas. For the first few decades after the tragedy, the narrative was one of before and after. For many, JFK’s death marked the loss of the country’s innocence, as manifested in the turbulent 1960s, the sexual revolution and a litany of cultural changes. JFK in those early decades was put on a pedestal. He was seen as inspirational (“Ask not what your country can do for you,” “We choose to go to the moon”) and a symbol of a nation on the rise — of a younger, vigorous, forward-looking country.

French aviator Charles Godefroy flies through Arc de Triomphe. Paris, 1919. A French WWI veter

French aviator Charles Godefroy flies through Arc de Triomphe. Paris, 1919. A French WWI veteran took off on a secret mission that would propel him into the record books: a daredevil flight under the monumental Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Charles Godefroy pulled off the stunt on August 7, 1919, to the astonishment of crowds gathered below on the Champs- Elysees. Dozens fled or threw themselves on the ground as the biplane whizzed just a few metres over their heads. Garros who claimed that trying to fit through the narrow 14.5-metre (48-foot) opening would lead to an untimely death, according to French historian Philippe Gras. But Godefroy had practised by flying under a bridge at Miramas on the Mediterranean coast and chose a Nieuport fighter plane with a wingspan of just nine metres. Like other airmen who fought during World War 1, Godefroy took offence when pilots were ordered to march alongside other soldiers during the national Bastille Day military parade just a few weeks earlier on July 14. He was determined to remind the country of pilots’ exploits and sacrifices during the war, and began preparing his flight with the help of a journalist friend, Jacques Mortane. Other aviation pioneers had already renounced the attempt, including Roland Garros who claimed that trying to fit through the narrow 14.5-metre (48-foot) opening would lead to an untimely death, according to French historian Philippe Gras. Mortane was waiting when Godefroy zoomed under the monument at around 8:00 am and captured the feat on film. Despite having flouted any number of military rules, Godefroy got off with a mere warning from his superiors and became a hero in his hometown of La Fleche in western France, which erected a plaque in his honour. Since then, several illicit flights under the arch have been made over the years while other daredevils have buzzed under the much wider arches of the Eiffel Tower.
