HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANNY - Sis. EXIE C. TAYLOR!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANNY - Sis. EXIE C. TAYLOR!
October 31, 1898 - January 3,1986... My Mother's Mom, who we nicknamed "GG" (after we had children) for GreatGrandMother. GG LOved Halloween and often referred to herself as the "Good Witch"! She was a Loving, Loyal, Dedicated and very Disciplined Woman of GOD! As Teacher, Preacher/Professor's Wife, Mother of Five, Seamstress & an Accomplished Musician, GG used the Gifts of GOD to Edify HIM! Granny served in the capacity of Pianist, Organist and/or the Minister Of Music of Local CME Churches and the California Conference on the whole. After My Daddy died in 1972 she came to live with us and became my other Parent. Though she wasn't as "Touchy-Feely" as My
 Daddy (Thank GOD) ;-) , she did her best to fill the void left by me losing My BFF at such an early age. And until GOD Called her Home, GG was in my life until the year I would turn 26. As I post this with tears rolling down my face, I Cry tears of JOY for being BLESSED just to have been in her Absolute Presence. Rest In The Awesome Power Of Peaceful Paradise... GG

SWEATER WEATHER Contest : OSG - Lana Turner

SWEATER WEATHER Contest : OSG - Lana Turner
Lana Turner (February 8, 1921 – June 29, 1995) was an American actress popular during the 1940s and 1950s.
Discovered and signed to a film contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at the age of sixteen at a Hollywood drug store. Turner first attracted attention in They Won't Forget (1937). She played featured roles, often as the ingenue, in such films as Love Finds Andy Hardy (1938). During the early 1940s she established herself as a leading actress in such films as Johnny Eager (1941), Honky Tonk (1941), Ziegfeld Girl (1941) and Somewhere I'll Find You (1942). She is known as one of the first Hollywood scream queens thanks to her role in the 1941 horror film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and her reputation as a glamorous femme fatale was enhanced by her performance in the film noir The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). Her popularity continued through the 1950s, in such films as The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Peyton Place (1957), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
Turner spent most of the 1970s and early 1980s in semi-retirement, working only occasionally. In 1982 she accepted a much publicized and lucrative recurring guest role in the television series Falcon Crest. Her first appearance on the show gave the series the highest rating it ever achieved. Turner made her next final film appearance in 1991, and died from throat cancer in 1995.
