In the early 1930s, scholarly studies were done on the impact of screen stars on teenagers, because of fears that the movies were sexualizing them. These studies found that teenage girls learned sex techniques through watching Garbo’s sex scenes, especially those in Flesh and the Devil; they then practiced her techniques at home with their girlfriends. Raymond Daum described Garbo’s many young female fans as having “schoolgirl crushes on her” that “defined a national idolatry.” And knowledge of Garbo’s non-heteronormative sexuality was spread through lesbian networks “from coast to coast.” Moreover, the 1920s was an era of commercial expansion in which the ranks of saleswomen and typists, careers dominated by young women, increased. These women made enough money to see a movie more than once. They identified with female stars and liked to see them in powerful roles. Greta Garbo in Flesh and the Devil (1926)

I already feel sick fairly often and sometimes I feel like I’ve had enough of feeling sick so often so I avoid thinking about lots of things but it doesn’t make any difference because I still feel sick so I lie down and sleep. I spend a lot of my life asleep.

Spanish actress Alba Flores at the Goya Awards (the Spanish Oscars) asking for countries to stop selling weapons to Israel and for a ceasefire ❤️

Alba: "I didn't know how long I would be able to speak so I wanted to bring a reminder (the badge she points at in her dress) because in these dark times, because 30000 people have died, they've been murdered in Gaza, it's hard to celebrate things. It's really hard. It's very contradictory. So, in a way, bringing this little reminder here where we have a voice that people can listen to. Here where authorities attend...I don't know. I hope they think about this and I hope the government of this country can do something".

Reporter: "The badge says stop selling weapons and ceasefire in Gaza".

I knew a girl named Pammy. She taught me a lot of things about life! She was real smart. She knew a lot of things. She knew one thing long before I ever knew it. That was that she was the best friend I ever had.

- Nicky needs me.

[estellaster]

I never told you everything. I never said the stuff I should. I was chicken to tell you! I never thought I could.

Fine me! Help me! Save me! Can you hear me? Can you feel me out there? Pammy! I'm calling you, Pammy!

- Nicky, what about songs? What about the roses in the hospital? What about take a piss you asshole? That's poetry. - But it don't rhyme. - It doesn't have to. It doesn't have to fit in a book.

Nicky, everything you do or you say is poetry. At least I think so.

A poem for Nicky Marotta.

Tiny fossil bones, translucent skin,

billion year old eyes.

Dinosaur, you don't belong here.

They'll kill you for your tiny tusks,

put your ribs on my ladder, Nicky.

I'm so amazed.

I'm so amazed.
