I have many memories in a similar regard as you, Lori. However, I was always into B&W oldies, even as a child. My first crush was Deanna Durbin, in the film 3 Smart Girls (1936). The old black and whites came on CBC almost every night at 11:35. I became a late-nighter, even at ten years old, as long as it was Friday or Saturday! Deanna was sweet, mischievous and had a brilliant operatic voice. Later in '72 the film Summer of '42 left me spellbound. Jennifer O'Neill was the personification of beauty, grace, kindness, and what turned out to be a tragic vulnerability. Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck is another throwback summer of love film. Audrey is always a ray of sunshine. A wonderful old couch of memories to fall back on.
