Studebaker Ad - March 1944 1940: Hitler changes his plans for the invasion of the west.

In 1949, she starred in Love Happy with the Marx Brothers.

The series lasted through 1955.

She began taking ballet lessons at age 7 and before she was even a teenager, the promising dancer was accepted into the Philadelphia Opera Company. At age 16 she became a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall in New York and toured with the girls throughout Europe. Bremer, along with fellow stars Vera-Ellen and June Allyson, appeared as a 'Pony Girl' in the Broadway musical Panama Hattie in 1940. Spotted by a talent scout, she was taken to Hollywood where her screen test impressed Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer mogul Louis B. Mayer. An accomplished dancer, she was also considered to display potential as a dramatic actress. She made her screen debut in 'Meet Me in St. Louis' (1944) as Judy Garland's sister, and followed this with a co-starring role opposite Fred Astaire in the exotic and lavish Technicolor musical fantasy 'Yolanda and the Thief' (1945), directed by Vincente Minnelli, and a featured dance performance, once again with Astaire in two memorable sequences in 'Ziegfeld Follies' (1946).

Yeah, I probably should have been born a girl. Always bitchin'. And love to F**k.

That happened a lot. Hundreds were caught and sent back home, many had even made it into combat. The military were desperate for bodies. Many used their older brothers birth certificates. Many were runaways. My uncle entered the Marine Corp in 1942 at the age of 17. My grandmother told me she couldn't keep him from skipping school, and he was always getting thrown out of the local pool hall. My grandmother and my dad were raising the family at the time, as my grandfather had died in 1934. She said that she gave up trying to keep him in school, went with him to the local Navy recruiting office, and signed the papers for him to join the Marine Corp. He served in if I am correct, the 2nd Marine Division. I do know he fought in the Battle of Tarawa, and one other before being wounded. He survived the war.

Morning. Sunny and 11F with -2 windchill. High of 36F. Should slip into the 40F degree range tomorrow they say, breaking our string of 90+ days without reaching that 40F plateau.
