Debra Paget performs "When It's Springtime in New York" from Stars and Stripes Forever (1952). This fictionalised biography of composer and bandleader John Philip Sousa (played by Clifton Webb) gives Paget an invented showgirl character and Robert Wagner her equally fictional love interest. 20th Century Fox clearly thought audiences would enjoy seeing Miss Paget sing and dance (which is true), even if those hoping for more of the real Sousa might find his story somewhat sidelined. After all, this is Hollywood! #StarsAndStripesForever #DebraPaget #JohnPhilipSousa #HollywoodMusical

"She wore the conventional garb of a woman of the ancient desert dwellers, jewelled copper breast-plates, a circlet of beaten bronze binding her wealth of red-violet hair, her eyes glittering like emerald fire; and the long divided skirt concealed little of her shapely body."👀🫡

❝Critics used the word ‘illustrator’ as a denigrating label. I resented the implied barrier between illustrator and painter. Both should be measured by their competence—not by artificial compartments contrived by critics.❞ —N.C. Wyeth, born on this day, October 22, in 1882
