In terms of film noir, Lana Turner ( February 8, 1921 – June 29, 1995) is best remembered for "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946), as the beautiful but deadly Cora Smith, opposite John Garfield, but her first foray into the genre was as the stepdaughter of the District Attorney who falls for the gangster "Johnny Eager" (1941) played by Robert Taylor. Her undeniable screen presence is very evident in these movies. The music in the background is the theme from "Postman" performed here by The Jazz At The Movies Band.

On the birthday of the late Leonard Nimoy (March 26, 1931 - February 27, 2015) heres another tribute to the iconic character he helped to create. While Spock often battled his emotions (made more difficult by the fact that he was half-human) there were people around him who saw the qualities of compassion, and humanity through his logic and intelligence, and he often demonstrated empathy for others. Leonard Nimoy put it like this - Spock is fun to portray, because, underneath, he really does have emotions. If Spock didnt have any emotions, he wouldnt be interesting. Actually, Spock has a considerable amount of compassion, though he wont allow himself to believe that. There is also what the character of Spock represents, what Nimoy referred to as a very human condition, how and when you should express your emotions, being in touch with them, etc. As Stephen E. Whitfield stated in the book, The Making Of Star Trek, Spock enables the series to make interesting social commentaries on the human race. Spocks alien perspective permits unusually barbed and interesting statements of the fallibility of both human customs and institutions. He allows us to see ourselves as others see us. Music by Alanis Morisette. Enjoy!")
