for the ask thing, i hope this isnt too much :)

rebecca

an actor who you think is perfect for a role in the show?

apopular opinion that you don’t agree with?

(favourite) danny headcanons?

Oooh here we go! Def not too much I love this

Actor who you think is perfect for a role in the show?

For actors who haven't been in it before, I think Judith Caspari would be a cute "Ich." For actors who have, I maintain that both Pia Douwes and Susan Rigvava-Dumas were absolutely perfect casting for Mrs Danvers even though their portrayals are quite different.

A popular opinion that you don't agree with?

I'm not a huge fan in general of how the show tries to water down Maxim's complexity by making Rebecca's death an accident and making him simply the tragic romantic hero.

Slightly more controversial but I'm really not excited about Mark or Willemijn in their respective roles in the revival from what I've seen so far, though idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not.

Favorite Danny headcanons?

Not a headcanon so much as actual canon but LOVE when the actresses fully buy into that she was in love with Rebecca. (Pia, Susan, and Kerstin Ibald all do this--Kerstin gave an interview where she said Danny had "clear lesbian undertones" which. Duh.)

Personal headcanon is that the brooch she wears in some productions belonged to Rebecca.

thanks anon, this was fun! I could literally talk about this show all day so.

Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, and Lew Morphy in Laura (Otto Preminger, 1944)

Cast: Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price, Judith Anderson, Dorothy Adams. Screenplay: Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein, Elizabeth Reinhardt, based on a novel by Vera Caspary. Cinematography: Joseph LaShelle. Art direction: Leland Fuller, Lyle R. Wheeler. Film editing: Louis R. Loeffler. Music: David Raksin. 

Laura is a film noir spin on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, with a Henry Higgins called Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb) whose protégée is an Eliza Doolittle called Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney). It's also a spin on the classical myth of Pygmalion, who fell in love with the statue of Galatea he had sculpted, bringing her to life. This Pygmalion is a detective, Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews), who falls in love with the portrait of Laura, who he thinks has been murdered, and is startled when she walks through the door, very much alive. Classical underpinning aside, Laura has become such an enduring movie because of its well-scripted story and sardonic dialogue (some of it contributed by an uncredited Ring Lardner Jr.) and the performances of Webb, Tierney, and Andrews, along with Vincent Price as the decadent Shelby Carpenter and Judith Anderson as the predatory Ann Treadwell. But most important of all, it was directed with the right attention to its slyly nasty tone by Otto Preminger, one of the most underrated Hollywood directors of the 1940s and '50s. Like such acerbic films as The Maltese Falcon (John Huston, 1941) and All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950), Laura is full of characters one would be well advised to steer clear of in real life, but who make for tremendous entertainment when viewed on a screen from a safe distance. It makes a feint at a conventional happily romantic ending, with Laura supposedly going off with McPherson, but do we really believe it? Laura Hunt has shown dubious taste in men -- whom McPherson characterizes as "a remarkable collection of dopes"-- including the desiccated fop Waldo and the smarmy kept man Shelby. So it's hard to believe the social butterfly Lydecker has created is going to settle down happily with a man who, as Waldo says once, fell in love with her when she was a corpse and apparently has never had a relationship with a woman other than the "doll in Washington Heights who once got a fox fur outta" him. Laura is notable, too, for its deft evasions of the Production Code, including Laura's hinted-at out-of-wedlock liaisons, which are at the same time undercut by the suggestions that Waldo and Shelby are gay -- another Code taboo. (Shelby, for example, has an exceptional interest in women's hats, including one of Laura's and the one of Ann's that he calls "completely wonderful.") This shouldn't surprise us, as Preminger went on to be one of the most aggressive Code-breakers, challenging its sexual taboos in The Moon Is Blue (1953) and its strictures on the depiction of drug use in The Man With the Golden Arm (1955), and giving the enforcers fits with Anatomy of a Murder (1959). In addition to the contributions to Laura's classic status already mentioned, there is also the familiar score by David Raksin. (Johnny Mercer added lyrics to its main theme after the film was released, creating the song  "Laura.") And Joseph LaShelle won an Oscar for the film's cinematography.

[silverdragonoid]

After six months of silence, I picked up my pencils again and drew Judith Caspari for a friend, who she's a huge fan of. In Germany, Judith Caspari is, inter alia, known for originating the role of Anastasia in the German production and starred as Maria in West Side Story. Soon, she'll also lend her angelic voice to the German production of Wicked as Glinda alternate. Unfortunately, it's not in my power to capture her true beauty. I failed here and there, but welp. There's more art to come soon.

~Duration: 17h

The relationship between Anya and Maria definitely isn’t talked about enough, but let me just take a second to say that Judith and Masha were definitely the god-tier pair for that. Their rapport and relationship was so cute off stage and Masha still posts about Judith, calling her her granddaughter :') ♥
