More winners and stories about the Ridge Spring Harvest Festival. Car
Show winners: Judges Choice - Terry Champe from Pelion, SC with a 1970
Chevy Nova and Best in Show - Harold Glazener from Beech Island, SC with a 1956
Chevy Belair. They also gave trophies to
the Top 35. There were 60 entries and 70
to drive thorough. Beauty all around.
While working in the Country
Store a lady came and bought almost all of the red bell peppers from Titan
Farms. Of course I asked her why. Her recipe was seed the peppers and cut in
half, roast in 420 oven for 25 - 30 minutes, flip over and continue to roast
for 10 to 15 minutes. Place in a bowl,
cover with saran wrap for 20 minutes or so to let them steam, remove and peel
the skin, cover with olive oil and a little salt and store. Possibly freeze them. What addition to any dish you make. What a good idea too.
Helping Hands Ministry and Queens of Diamonds are hosting "Night the Night" October 31 from

Pecan Rd., Ridge Spring. Games, scary bible drama, candy, Kid's costume contest

Review from
David Marshall James: " 'A Star Is
Born': Judy Garland and the Film That Got Away" by Lorna Luft and
Jeffrey Vance
With the fourth screen
version of "A Star Is Born" looking to clean up come awards season,
viewers should follow up with this uber-insider's account by the daughter of
the star (Judy Garland) and the producer (Sid Luft) of the 1954 version, the
first to present the protagonist as a singer, which every remake has done
since.
It was Garland's big film
comeback after leaving MGM in 1950, and she was nominated for an Oscar, which
she lost to Grace Kelly for the unrelentingly maudlin "The Country
Girl," which you'll never see one remake of, much less three.
Garland's supporters
expressed their ire, particularly friend and neighbor Lauren Bacall, who wrote
that she, Bogie, and Frank Sinatra were "damn mad." Groucho
Marx sent a telegram: "This is the biggest robbery since
Brink's." And Hedda Hopper, snooping as only she could, discovered
from a leak at Price Waterhouse that Garland had lost by seven votes.
But she never got over
the slight. History, however, awards its own laurels, and the 1954 Garland/James
Mason "Star" has accrued Olympian accolades over the past six
decades, particularly with the restoration of the savage cuts made to the film
shortly after its general release.
The warring Warner
Brothers, instead of giving "Star" an intermission after its
"Born in a Trunk" sequence (as "The Sound of Music," a few
minutes shorter than "Star," would have one decade later),
hacked it to pieces.
Lorna Luft recalls this
and other behind-the-scenes dramas as only she can, generous with personal feelings
about her Mother and Father. In recent years she has battled cancer,
intensifying her efforts to preserve this film's legacy for her children and
grandchildren.
Film historian Jeffrey
Vance provides the illuminating background chapters on the 1937
"Star" (produced by "Gone With the Wind" producer David O.
Selznick) and the 1976 remake starring Barbra Streisand, as well as "What
Price Hollywood?," the 1932 film that started it all, directed by George
Cukor, 22 years before he directed Garland and Mason.
In 1964, Jack Warner
would personally produce "My Fair Lady," for which Cukor won his only
Best Director Oscar. Interestingly, that film includes an intermission,
proving that Warner had learned from his grievous mistakes handling the Garland
film. Furthermore, "My Fair Lady," shorter than the 1954
"Star," cost three times as much (Audrey Hepburn, whose voice was
dubbed, was paid ten times more than Garland). Again, history has
bestowed an enormous context on Garland's "Star."
The film's September 1954
premiere at The Pantages theater in Hollywood drew a crowd of more than
20,000. The red-carpet footage is priceless, including Shelley Winters--
perhaps fortified by some pre-premiere libations-- practically shouting,
"I'm here for Judy!"
Also in attendance that
night was a young actor whose own star was a-borning. James Dean, in his
tortoise-shell specs-- arrived with his "Rebel Without a Cause"
costar, Natalie Wood. Dean-- as quoted by close friend William Bast in "Surviving
James Dean"-- summed up the Garland magic after viewing her sensational
live radio performance with Bing Crosby in 1950: "How did she do
that ... how did she do that ... how did she f----n' do that?"
