This is the platonic ideal of a Malcovich spotting
@blankcheckpod I worked at fancy grocery store in Cambridge at the start of the pandemic and Malkovich would order his groceries there. Spoke to him on the phone a couple of times and packed his stuff up. Surprisingly calm, always had cheese and baguettes as I recall.

1. This photo was taken on New Year's Eve at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto — revellers ringing in 1942.
I stumbled across it last night. And it turns out there's a story behind this photo: a wild, tragic tale filled with scandal, war, Broadway stars & betrayal.
