"My hand was shaking, my head was shaking, the cigarette was shaking, I was mortified. The harder I tried to stop, the more I shook. I realized that one way to hold my trembling head still was to keep it down, chin low, almost to my chest, and eyes up at Bogart. It worked and turned out to be the beginning of 'The Look'."

- Lauren Bacall

In 1935, Kodachrome slide film was developed to take pictures from the traditional black and white to color. However, for twenty years, color film was difficult and expensive to use and process. The Ministry of Information in the United Kingdom does have an archive of about 3,000 photographs that were taken in color. However, with the modern technology of smartphone apps and computer software, it is getting easier for the common person to scan their own photos to colorize them, bringing loved ones, emotional scenes and crucial moments to life from World War 2.

On June 3, 1973, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page walked into an afterparty in L.A. with his 25-year-old girlfriend Pamela Des Barres — and walked out with a 15-year-old groupie named Lori Maddox. Page's relationship with the young girl was a scandal at the time, but he was hardly the first rocker to take an interest. Maddox says she lost her virginity in a th*****me with David Bowie and a fellow teenage groupie named Sable Starr when she was even younger. But according to Maddox, Page was "one of the great loves of my life," and he even called her mom to ask if he could see her, prompting Maddox's mom to go around bragging to friends, "My daughter is like Priscilla [Presley]." ⁠

Frank Norman Floege was orphaned when he was 9. A brief story in the Detroit Free Press said the probate court in Cook County, Illinois was looking for his father, Frank H., because young Frank and his younger brother, Warren, were alone since their mother died. It was thought, the article said, that the father might be in Detroit.

It isn’t clear whether the father had died, too, or simply couldn’t be located, but the boys went in 1933 to live at the Illinois Soldiers’ & Sailors’ Children’s School in Normal north of Bloomington. They stayed until July 1936, when they moved 120 miles northeast to Harvey in the Chicago suburbs. There, Frank’s foster mother, Charlotte Hayes, described him as a grand boy who looked after his brother.

Frank graduated from Thornton Township High School in 1939. He played in the band and orchestra and participated in track and the Boys Club. He also played in a church orchestra and in a dance band, the Aristocats of Sheldon Heights. Mr. Floege worked in Harvey until he enlisted in the Navy in March 1941.

He was sent to the U.S. Navy School of Music, where he studied clarinet and saxophone. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Arizona and was a musician and petty officer second class when he was killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941. Nicknamed “Flat-Foot Floege” by bandmates, he would have turned 20 in two weeks.

All 21 band members were killed when they rushed from the flag-raising on the fantail at the stern to their battle station in an ammunition hold under the 14-inch guns of turret 2. They likely died instantly after a Japanese bomb reached the black powder magazines on lower decks, exploded, and destroyed the front of the battleship.

Mr. Floege was born in Chicago on Dec. 20, 1921 and baptized at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. His mother, Agnes Frisk Floege, was 34 and working as an attendant at Cook County Hospital when she died there in 1931 of a stomach problem and post-operative shock following a hysterectomy. His father served in the Navy in World War I.

A few months after Mr. Floege’s death at Pearl Harbor, the Band Parents Association at Thornton High organized a memorial service. Poems were recited and the band performed part of Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” and the Navy’s official song, “Anchors Aweigh.” A cornet trio played “Taps.”

One of his uncles, Ernest Floege, was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the United States and the Distinguished Service Order by Great Britain for his work as a secret agent in France during the war. Though also born in Chicago, he spent part of his childhood in France, served there as an interpreter during World War I, and married a French woman.

They were running a bus company when Germany invaded in 1940. His wife and children remained in France while he returned to the United States to enlist in the Army. He was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services -- the forerunner of the Central intelligence Agency -- and in 1943 parachuted into France to work with underground fighters. He was betrayed and narrowly escaped capture that Christmas, though more than 40 others in his organization were taken, including his in-laws, who were shot. One of his sons was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp but survived. Ernest Floege made it to England and then, in March 1944, parachuted back into France near the German border. He became the leader of more than 3,000 resistance fighters.

His French business and home destroyed, he returned to the United States after the war and opened a French restaurant in Connecticut. He died in 1996 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Now on YouTube: Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed (Hungarian: Báthori Erzsébet, pronounced [ˈbaːtori ˈɛrʒeːbɛt]; Slovak: Alžbeta Bátoriová; 7 August 1560 - 21 August 1614) was a noblewoman from the family of Báthory, which owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia) and suspected serial killer.

Between 1590 and 1610, Bathory and four of her servants were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and women. Her servants were tried and convicted, while Bathory was imprisoned.

According to various historians, the charges brought against Báthory can be seen as a witch-hunt. Some, like Michael Farin in 1989, maintain that over 300 individuals testified against Báthory and provided physical evidence of mutilated girls at the time of her arrest. A more recent article by Aleksandra Bartosiewicz in 2018 suggests that the accusations were actually a ploy to weaken Báthory's family and their political power, as it was seen as a threat by neighboring regions such as the Habsburg empire.

Báthory's stories swiftly became ingrained in national folklore, with legends surrounding her alleged vampiric tendencies. These tales, such as the belief that she bathed in the blood of virgins to maintain her youth, were not recorded until many years after her death and are deemed unreliable. While some argue that she may have served as inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), there is no concrete evidence to support this theory in Stoker's notes on the novel. Various names and literary titles have been associated with her, including The Blood Countess and Countess Dracula. 🩸
