Born upon this day in 1780 was Pauline Bonaparte—Napoleon’s younger sister and, by the common testimony of her age, the most resplendently ungovernable spirit of that singular house. Beauty and scandal clung to her as fragrance to the rose; she was at once enchantress and provocation—adored and exasperating in the same breath.
From girlhood she displayed an audacity rare even amidst the licentious airs of post-revolutionary France: quick of wit, irreverent in laughter, her appetites untamed by convention or consequence. Marriage to General Leclerc did little to school her passions; widowhood, yet less. When she later became Princess Borghese, it was less an elevation than an improvisation—a courtesan’s art reborn beneath the veil of nobility.
In Rome she became as a living fable. Her snow-white steeds were shod with silver; her raiment so diaphanous that even the world-wearied salons of the Eternal City blushed for shame. Painters adored her; prelates despaired; and ambassadors, once masters of intrigue, found their composure scattered before her smile.
At last, rumour’s tide did reach Paris. Napoleon, ever the jealous sentinel of family decorum, addressed to her a missive befitting a patriarch grown weary—a letter of admonition couched in the language of exile and restraint. She obeyed in semblance, for a season; in spirit, never. No imperial edict could subdue a nature so gloriously insubordinate.
In Pauline the contradictions of the Bonapartes found their most glittering consummation—grace entwined with folly, splendour interlaced with ruin. She was, as one astonished contemporary styled her, ‘a goddess sculpted in scandal’. And perchance, in the vast theatre of human history, she grasped the meaning of fame with an instinct swifter and truer than that of her conquering brother himself. —Arthur Newhook, 20 October 2025.

Rest in peace, Starman. At this point in my life, I would almost sooner endure Chinese water torture than listen to KISS and their hair-band ilk. Once upon a time—when youth dulled discernment—I lapped up that racket with the same appetite I brought to fast food and the ceaseless blare of televised idiocy. But age, misophonia, and the daily parade of performative imbecility—from the corridors of power down to the trailer park—have conspired to render me a broken-down, jaded 47-year-old, sick to death of all the noise that passes for culture.
Still, fairness demands its due: Ace Frehley was perchance the most competent musician in that crew during the ’70s, and ‘New York Groove’ is better than reason or lineage might allow; a melody whose vulgar birth cannot efface its strange vitality, and superior by a good margin to the rest of the KISS catalogue. The manner of his death—a fall last month leading to a brain bleed—is unsettling, particularly for those of us with parents north of seventy and maybe not always steady on their feet. Life is perilously fragile.
Fragility is the only constant. Godspeed. —Arthur Newhook, 16 October 2025.

Yet, away from the klieg lights, the actress was consistently described as soft of speech and tender of spirit—a creature whose private nature stood in clear contrariety to the wanton heroines she was bidden to enact. Mistress Peters did inwardly resist the very sexpot image the studio so assiduously cultivated, a quiet rebellion against her own commodification.
This nuanced tension, however, is wholly effaced by the photograph in question, circa 1950, wherein no hint of inward strife may be discerned. Instead, a vision of post-war splendour, wherein all private battle is transfigured into serenity beneath the alchemy of perfect light. —Arthur Newhook, 15 October 2025.

Off-screen, her story was scarcely less vivid. For more than a decade—from 1948 to 1960—she was celebrated as ‘the First Lady of Baseball’, as the wife of the fiery, mercurial manager Leo Durocher, whose temper and genius for the game were legendary. To that end, she hosted a pre-game broadcast for the New York Giants on WMGM 1050 AM (a modern-day ESPN radio affiliate with the call letters WEPN).
A divine and dependable leading lady in every sense, Laraine Day embodied the rare union of warmth and discipline, the professional polish of the studio era tempered by a very human charm. Whether clad in a nurse’s uniform or a designer gown, she embodied the confidence of a woman who knew precisely who she was, and how to remain so in an industry that seldom forgave identity. —Arthur Newhook, 13 October 2025.

Having moved California at some point in childhood, Barbara Kent commenced her professional life, aged 17, by being anointed Miss Hollywood of 1925—the very quintessence of her generation’s ideal: soft of voice yet lambent of presence, her allure founded not upon contrivance but upon an exquisite equipoise—an innocence quickened by intelligence, a modesty irradiated by quiet certainty. The diadem secured her passage to the studios, where her cultivated stillness proved eloquent in a medium that conversed through silence alone.
Her big break arrived almost immediately. In Flesh and the Devil (1926), she was cast opposite Greta Garbo and John Gilbert—colossi of the silver screen—yet she did not vanish beneath their conflagration. Her performance served as counterpoint: tender, irreducibly human, the necessary cantus firmus beneath Garbo’s grand operatic blaze.
Over the next five or so years, she graced numerous productions—perhaps most memorably as the benignant Rose Maylie in the 1933 adaptation of Oliver Twist—negotiating the advent of the talkies with unblemished poise (a feat not universally achieved by many of contemporaries). She adapted, endured, and then, with characteristic reticence, withdrew almost entirely from acting following her marriage to the talent agent Harry Edington in late 1932.
To recall Barbara Kent—or those kindred souls who shared her brief effulgence—is to glimpse once more the dawn of cinema itself, when the alchemy of light and motion still shimmered with the shock of creation, and a young woman from the boundless Canadian prairies might step into that radiance and, for one breath of eternity, shine as bright as the sun. —Arthur Newhook, 13 October 2025.

“I build a wall around myself. I'm hard to get to know. Any trait you have, it gets worse as you go along.” —Diane Keaton, 1946–2025. She made honesty fashionable. We could use more of that in the world as it is now. She made honesty fashionable—and how rare that seems now. In a world stitched together with pretence, we could use a little more of her kind of truth. —Arthur Newhook, 11 October 2025.

Another day, another light extinguished. Diane Keaton, that singular creature of wit, vulnerability, and eccentric grace, hath been granted merciful release from this prison, aged 79. I do not claim to be an authority on her entire filmography, nor to have found unqualified pleasure in every one of her roles; yet to deny her magnetism would be to deny sunlight, and she did capture hearts with her unique blend of charming neuroticism and profound warmth. An unforgettable leading lady, indeed. —Arthur Newhook, 11 October 2025.

A fond and reverent farewell to John Lodge—not ‘just a singer in a rock and roll band’, as his own lyric once wryly insisted, but one of the true gentlemen and master craftsmen of progressive rock. A quietly noble Englishman who treated music not as commerce but as a vocation. Lodge, bassist, vocalist, songwriter, and spiritual ballast of The Moody Blues, hath departed this unworthy and ungrateful realm aged 82. Born 20 July 1943 in Erdington, Birmingham, he and Justin Hayward joined a reconfigured Moody Blues in 1966, and together they turned what had been a competent R&B outfit into something altogether grander: a vessel of symphonic splendour and celestial vision.
Their 1967 opus, Days of Future Passed, stands as the first proper flowering of what we came to call progressive rock, fusing symphonic orchestration with poetic lyricism and rock instrumentation, creating a sound that could swell the heart and paint pictures in the mind in a way no one had dared attempt before. To list one’s favourite albums is an act of futility—every decade renders one’s own past judgement embarrassing, and I am no whit exempt—yet that record shall always remain in my upper pantheon without any hesitation. It hath the stateliness of a cathedral and the soft grace of a lullaby.
Mr Lodge’s own contributions to the Moody Blues canon are numerous and indelible, and include ‘Ride My See-Saw’, ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, ‘Gemini Dream’, and that deathless confession, ‘I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)’, one of the most honest anthems ever wrought upon the absurdity of the touring life. By all accounts I have ever read or heard—and especially upon this day—he was a warm and generous man of sound judgement and sober mind, untainted by the usual vanities that so oft beset his calling.
A man who did embody the spirit of that golden age when rock music strove not merely to entertain but to elevate—to wed the mind unto the heart, and art unto melody—John Lodge shall be missed. I do pray that the noble legacy of English progressive rock, which he and his peers so bravely fashioned, shall never be cast into oblivion. For in this darkening technological and Orwellian age of ours, wherein history is daily mangled and made to vanish with fearful haste, it behoveth us all the more to hold dear, and remember truly, the pure and human artistry of such men as he.
Rest in Peace, good sir.
—Arthur Newhook, 10 October 2025
{alternate text for the above image} A colour studio portrait of John Lodge, bassist and vocalist of The Moody Blues, captured in the 1970s. His expression is introspective, almost pensive, as though caught mid-thought. Soft, diffused lighting highlights the contours of his face and the gentle sheen of his skin, while his long, wavy brown hair—styled in the characteristic fashion of the era—frames his features in a halo of texture. He wears a patterned shirt, its muted psychedelic design subtly evocative of the period’s aesthetic: colourful yet understated. The photograph embodies the introspective artistry that defined Lodge’s contribution to the band’s sound—lyrical, melodic, and quietly spiritual—while the restrained composition suggests a man more attuned to reflection than spectacle. It is a portrait of a musician at once ordinary and transcendent, poised at the intersection of English reserve and rock’s romantic idealism.

Bette Davis in In This Our Life, 1942 WB |
In another few decades, even the brightest constellations of the twentieth century—Monroe, Ali, Ruth, The Beatles—will glimmer only faintly, their brilliance dimmed by forgetfulness as the last who remember them pass from the world. Worse still, in an age when artificial intelligence and digital manipulation have placed the machinery of history in the hands of the least scrupulous, what remains may not merely be forgotten but rewritten—or erased altogether.
It falls, then, to those of us who love these figures to keep their memories alive, however humbly. Yet few will trouble themselves, and those who do will never be appreciated. Such is the fate of those who remember in a world that no longer values remembrance, basic decency, and human dignity. —Arthur Newhook, 6 October 2025.

I shall not rehearse her filmography, nor claim to have seen or enjoyed all her work. In one of her more notorious roles, as the sultry oracle of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), she manages to be the best thing in a film I consider an exercise in unmitigated kitsch—a riot of camp exuberance inexplicably adored by a certain subset of viewers. To put it bluntly, I cannot stand the f**king film. To each their own; yet such quibbles matter little. Susan Sarandon hath commanded the screen with an authority few of her contemporaries could ever match: not merely a performer, but a force of nature, an energy that refuses containment. —Arthur Newhook, 4 October 2025.

{alternate text for the image above} A monochromatic cinematic still captures the celebrated actress Janet Leigh in a moment of unguarded, coquettish allure. Depicted post-ablutions and clad simply in a terrycloth towel, she casts a puckish glance over her shoulder, her visage a captivating admixture of ingenuous charm and sophisticated seduction. The spartan, bucolic interior, dominated by a formidable cast-iron furnace, provides a striking counterpoint to her intrinsic glamour. The composition thus creates a delightful frisson, juxtaposing rustic simplicity with the ineffable, radiant magnetism of a Hollywood luminary.

Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson in Giant (Warner Bros., 1956) |
The scale of fear and ignorance is captured in one stark fact: after treatment in Paris only months before his death, Hudson was compelled to hire a private jet to return to Los Angeles, for no commercial airline would accept a passenger known to be carrying the virus. Not long thereafter, Elizabeth Taylor herself quietly purchased a bronze plaque for the Hollywood Walk of Fame in his honour—an act at once discreet, loyal, and enduring, sealing her friend’s memory in a gesture of fidelity where others faltered.
{alternate text for the above image} Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson in a publicity still for Giant (1956), captured in a moment of heightened intimacy that borders on theatrical rapture. Taylor, her head arched back and lips parted in anticipation, radiates sensuality and defiance, her dark hair cascading in waves against the pale shimmer of her gown. Hudson, towering and resolute, leans in with a steady, almost reverent intensity, his hand gripping her arm in a gesture that is both protective and possessive. The chiaroscuro of the black-and-white composition accentuates the drama of flesh, fabric, and expression, crystallising the film’s central themes of passion, power, and turbulent human desire within the mythic sweep of Texas.

The grandeur of its opening suite and Hipgnosis’s now-iconic cover design make Atom Heart Mother a must own for serious music fans and anyone who appreciates English progressive rock, but in the greater sweep of Floyd’s catalogue it must be placed firmly among their lesser works, though there are worse. —Arthur Newhook, 2 October 2025.
{alternate text for the above image} The cover of Pink Floyd’s 1970 album Atom Heart Mother presents an image of striking simplicity: a Friesian cow, its brown-and-white hide stark against the verdant expanse of an open field, turns its head to gaze back at the viewer with quiet indifference. The composition, devoid of title, lettering, or overt symbolism, rejects the baroque surrealism of contemporaneous rock imagery, embracing instead a blunt pastoral directness that is almost confrontational in its banality. The horizon stretches under a pale, cloudless sky, with only the faintest silhouettes of distant trees punctuating the emptiness, creating a sense of space that is at once serene and faintly absurd. In elevating the ordinary to the monumental, the image embodies both the anti-iconography of post-psychedelic art and the band’s wry refusal to be circumscribed by expectation.

{alternate text} Bathed in golden tropic light, model Cindy Margolis sits astride the bar with legs parted in playful provocation, the lace straps of her seafoam lingerie catching the glow as turquoise heels anchor her in decadent poise. A cocktail sweats on the counter below, orchids scatter their petals like whispers of temptation, and the fan hums between her thighs, sending shivers through her sun-kissed skin. Her gaze, half-mischief, half-command, fixes on you as if to ask—will you worship her here in the heat, or wait until the stars rise over the ocean?

{alternate text} Bathed in the soft radiance of poolside daylight, Stella Stevens kneels with statuesque grace, her form poised in a bikini patterned with rich, paisley swirls that seem to shimmer against her porcelain skin. Her blonde hair, full and sculpted in voluminous waves, frames her face like spun silk, offsetting the sculptural precision of her features. The setting—a tranquil pool and blurred greenery beyond—serves as a stage for her languid poise, a tableau that captures the essence of 1960s glamour: at once sultry and self-assured, yet tinged with wistful allure.

Jane Goodall, born in London on 3 April 1934, has assured her place among England’s immortals. By decamping to the steaming tangles of Gombe and mucking in with the apes, this great lady unravelled the smug fiction that man was some sacred, tool-wielding exception. Her chimps whittled sticks, formed alliances, and wept for their dead — and with that, the neat wall between ‘us’ and ‘them’ crumbled.
But Jane Goodall was not content to scribble footnotes for zoologists; she spent the rest of her life pleading with the world not to turn every last scrap of wilderness into a strip-mine. Noble work, doomed of course, given the human talent for short-sighted vandalism.
Still, there’s something touching in her stubbornness — a luminous, bloody-minded emblem of curiosity, decency, and hope, however misplaced. She is gone now, and the planet is no less doomed for her efforts, but infinitely richer for her having tried. Rest in peace, dear lady. —Arthur Newhook, 1 October 2025.

{alternate text} In this warmly lit photograph, former US President Jimmy Carter is captured in a moment of unguarded delight, his face illuminated by a broad, genuine smile. His greying hair, neatly brushed back, frames features that radiate both humility and quiet resolve. Dressed in a grey checked suit, a pale blue striped shirt, and a red tie patterned with subtle paisleys, he exudes a modest formality befitting the era. The blurred backdrop, punctuated by the colours of the American flag, situates him unmistakably in the milieu of public service, likely during his presidency (1977–1981). The image conveys Carter’s characteristic warmth and approachability, qualities that underpinned his political persona as a leader of principle, guided more by moral conviction than pomp. It is less the portrait of a statesman cloaked in grandeur than of a man rooted in earnestness, embodying the ideals of decency and integrity he strove to bring to American public life.

(alternate text) Tim Wakefield is captured mid-delivery, his motion frozen at the point just before release. Clad in the team’s iconic scarlet jersey with bold “RED SOX” lettering across the chest, he projects both intensity and composure, the hallmarks of his long career. His right arm is cocked, fingers poised delicately about the baseball—an image suggestive of his signature knuckleball, a pitch as elusive as it is unorthodox. His left hand, gloved in black leather, extends outward to balance the motion, while his gaze fixes unwaveringly on the target. Behind him, the blurred stadium and faintly discernible crowd set the stage without distracting from the clarity of his form. In this image, Wakefield embodies the paradox of his craft: effort harnessed into simplicity, a calm exterior concealing the unpredictable dance of the ball soon to leave his hand. It is at once a portrait of athletic precision and a testament to a pitcher defined by singular artistry.

(alternate text) In the hush of woodland shade, she drapes herself over the fallen trunk as though surrendering to the earth’s embrace, her skirt carelessly lifted to reveal a secret meant for the forest alone. The socks at her ankles lend an almost girlish innocence, undone entirely by the flagrant boldness of her pose. Nature watches, silent and complicit, as if the trees themselves conspire to shield her wanton abandon from prying eyes. It is a tableau of vulnerability and provocation, where innocence and daring meet in one breathless moment of forbidden allure.

(alternate text) In a candid black-and-white frame, a sunlit blonde tilts her head back with abandon, lips parted as she drinks from a rustic waterskin. Her bare shoulders gleam in the summer light, a pastoral vision caught between innocence and provocation. The texture of the worn leather against her fingers only sharpens the contrast between rugged wilderness and the soft vitality of her body. With eyes half-closed, she surrenders to the moment, making thirst itself into a sensual performance—an earthy hymn to freedom, youth, and daring.
