I hate when people say that Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn are their idols when they haven’t seen all their movies. If you’ve only seen photos from The Seven Year Itch and Breakfast at Tiffany’s and you claim their your idols and you love all their work, I automatically think you try too hard to look cool.
At least watch one of their movies before you preach about their greatness. Even if it’s only something typical.

The practice of men taking underage boys as sexual partners is on the rise in post-Taliban Afghanistan. This ”open secret” is rarely talked about — including by foreign powers who have neglected to draw attention to the abuse.

Fascinating/incredibly sad read.

In this famous “Mouth of Truth” scene, Gregory Peck ad-libbed the joke where he pretends his hand gets bitten off in the mouth of the stone carving. He borrowed the gag from Red Skelton. Before shooting Peck told the director that he was going to do the gag but did not tell Audrey Hepburn. When Peck pulled his arm out of the stone carving’s mouth with his hand pulled up his sleeve, Hepburn’s horror and surprise was genuine. She gave what she later recalled was “a good and proper scream,” and the scene was finished in one take.(x)
