On the Blog
This blog and my Instagram account dedicated to Franchot both have 1 year anniversaries this month. Thank you to everyone who has followed me and my posts! This has been a wonderful outlet for my Franchot research, film summaries, and discoveries. It has given me the opportunity to meet other fans who admire Franchot's work as much as I do and that has been a true delight!

In April, I'm participating in two exciting classic film blogathons. In a few days, I'll be writing about the 1935 Franchot-Bette collaboration Dangerous for the Bette Davis Blogathon hosted by In The Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood. Later this month, I'll write about Franchot and Joan Crawford's relationship for the Star-Studded Couple Blogathon hosted by Phyllis Loves Classic Movies.

I didn't get a chance to write about the 1944 film Dark Waters in March, so I'll be posting that in April.
