the passage of a golden age

One of my favorite actresses of all time, Katharine Hepburn has left us at 96. Along with Gregory Peck, who also recently passed on, she was part of a Golden Age of Hollywood, an era that the world will never see the likes of again - except, Thank Divinity - through the magic of video.

The charisma, glamour and incredible talent to be found within the pantheon of those great movie makers helped to create a form of entertainment that changed the world. The art form of moviemaking was perfected in that time and would never have been quite so enchanting without the likes of Katherine and Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Bette Davis, James Cagney and James Stewart....and countless other actors, directors, writers and producers of vision and style.

I feel honored to have lived in a time that allowed me to share a tiny bit of the same airspace of these legendary greats - gone but not forgotten. And along with their legends they have left a bit of the magick and inspiration that has always sparked the following generations that contributed to the creation of their own legends, geniuses and innovators.

And so I send my prayers and wishes of blessings, along with countless others today - and I wish Hepburn and Peck good journeys and new adventures - may they find in full measure as much joy as they gave generations through the gift of their compelling and timeless contributions to the art of movies!

Some fittingly lovely sites devoted to the legendary lovely lady can be found here, here and here.
