I like all these. But Basil makes my heart go pitty-pat.

Oh Errol Flynn too.

I was laughing out loud over your crack about not liking Katherine Hepburn in HOLIDAY. I mean, how could ANYONE NOT LIKE HER?

I SO agree!

One of my all-time favorites.

As for Katharine Hepburn, smart, independent redheads have always had a special appeal for me. Witness, for example, Katie-Bar-The-Door!
