🎉 Happy Heavenly Birthday to Violet Mary Klotz (aka Mae Clarke) born on this date; August 16th, 1910 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A talented actress who should be remembered for more than just a grapefruit to the face🎭.

🥀 Remembering American dancer, actress and singer Ruby Keeler; August 25th, 1909 - February 28th, 1993. During the 1930's, she starred in such Hollywood musicals as; "42nd Street", "Footlight Parade" and "Gold Diggers of 1933". 💃🎭🎙.

🇺🇸 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep, It's own appointment limits keep, O hear us when we cry to thee, For those in peril on the sea!

🥀 Remembering "Our Baby" who left us 83 years ago today; 06/07/1937. R.I.P. Jean.

Ginger in hats 👒.

The service life of a littoral ship was suppose to be 25 years. The USS Freedom (LCS 1) had the longest career with 12 years. The USS Independence (LCS 2) had an 11 year career and the USS Coronado (LCS 4) an 8 year career. What a waste.

The littoral combat ships USS Independence (LCS 2), left, and USS Coronado (LCS 4) are underway in the Pacific Ocean.

🎉 Two July 29th "Birthday Girls"; Thelma Todd (1906) and Clara Bow (1905) in a scene from the Pre-Code film "Call Her Savage" (1932). Monroe Owsley (another Leo 🦁 - August 11th) looks on as the ladies are about to "square off"🥊.
