So I promised you all some new icons and said that I had a little project going... well - here it is! Apart from the usual output of icons of quotes, mysery series and Bogart/Bacall, each month I will be putting up a "Birthday Post" celebrating the birthdays of famous actors and other individuals important to film (Jane Austen, and other cool people) born in that month.
They may be all classic actors - as in this month's post, or they may include people from the more recent past. They will be simple, mostly focusing on the actor themselves and not in any particular role. (In other words, studio shots!) When two or more actors from that month are in a film together I will include icons from the promo shots for that film. And for those who love quote icons, there are quotes by or about each actor.
This month:
[13] Audrey Hepburn
[12] Fred Astaire
[11] Katherine Hepburn
[10] Jimmy Stewart
[11] Laurence Olivier
[09] John Wayne
