I did a guided past-life regression meditation once, and during it I saw an image of a tall woman I couldn't see her face, but I could see her height and her haircut clearly. She had a short 1930s bob, and her hair was styled the exact same way both times I saw her.

Here's the thing though. Years before that, when I was 12 or 13, I was down at my grandparents' house. My mom's parents were still alive then. It was late, I was tired and getting ready to go to sleep, and I saw the same woman tall, same short 1930s bob, same hairstyle. I didn't see her face then either, just the same presence.

I always told myself I was just seeing things because I was tired. But then when I saw her again in the meditation, it matched. Same woman, same hair, same everything the bob was styled identically both times.

I've been doing the work to try to figure out who I was in a past life, and I still haven't found out. But I can't shake that these two moments are connected somehow. Has anyone else had something from a regression match something they saw earlier in their life?

I've been collecting autographs since 2010, and one of my favorite pieces is an Ann Blyth autograph I wrote to her in 2011 and got a reply, and I'm so glad I did before she passed.

I'm looking for other classic-era actors who are still living and known to respond to fan mail. I especially love the stars who worked with Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Greta Garbo, or Joan Fontaine. Any suggestions? Also, where's the best place to send fan mail these days?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify a movie clip that I remember seeing in one of TCM's Summer Under the Stars promotional ads.

It was a black-and-white film featuring a blonde actress with long hair. She was smiling, making gestures with her hands, and said something like, "I want a little bit of this and a little bit of that."

I know that's not much to go on, but the clip has stuck with me, and I've been trying to figure out who the actress was and what movie it came from.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Does anyone know if the actresses Joan Lora, Shirley Cleveland, and Donna Leary have a fan mail address or sign autographs? I'm a collector and would love to reach out to them. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks! I watched Sorority Girl this morning I really liked it

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to identify a documentary that aired on TCM earlier this year.

It wasn't just about classic movies. It covered films from multiple decades, including movies from the 1980s and other eras. I remember it showing lots of movie clips and featuring interviews with actors and actresses from the films.

I believe it was about a movie channel, television program, or something related to how movies were shown on television, but I can't remember the title.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you for any help.

Hello everyone,

I am an autograph collector and recently wrote a letter to Ann-Margret. Before I mail it, I was hoping to find out if anyone has a current fan mail address that is still working.

I found a few addresses online, but I'm not sure which ones are up to date. If anyone has written to her recently or received a response, I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

I'm looking for recommendations for classic movies, especially film noir, pre-Code films, psychological thrillers, and suspense movies where the woman is the center of the story.

Some of my favorite actresses are Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis, Joan Fontaine, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Crawford, Ann Sheridan, and Ann Blyth. I tend to enjoy movies with strong, outspoken female leads who are independent, intelligent, and don't let people walk all over them.

What are your favorite classic films featuring women like this? They can be well-known classics or lesser-known hidden gems. I'd love to discover some new actresses and movies to add to my watchlist.

Hi everyone! I’m new to collecting vintage clothing and I’m trying to learn how to tell if something is truly vintage (especially 1930s–1950s pieces vs modern reproduction/vintage-style clothing).

What are the easiest signs you personally look for when you’re at thrift stores or vintage shops? Tags, fabrics, construction details, etc.?

I’m asking because I’m just starting out and want to learn how to recognize authentic vintage in real life while I’m shopping.

I would love to start adding more true vintage clothing from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to my wardrobe, but I’m hoping to find websites with reasonable prices and not overly expensive pieces.

I’ve really fallen in love with the fashion and elegance of classic Hollywood films from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. For fellow classic film fans, are there any good trustworthy websites you recommend for true vintage clothing or vintage-inspired fashion at reasonable prices? I’d love to build more of an Old Hollywood-style wardrobe.

“I’ve been browsing Etsy for signed Hollywood memorabilia lately, including actresses like Barbara Stanwyck, and I’m trying to understand how reliable Etsy sellers generally are for autograph items. Are there common red flags I should watch out for before buying?”

“Has anyone had experience with Etsy autograph sellers in general? I’m trying to understand how reliable Etsy autographs are before buying a Barbara Stanwyck signed photo.”
