Quotes About Texas ~ Kinky and Others

Rummaging through some of my old content and material and found this two quotes. I heart "ALL THINGS TEXAS" (except the politicians). Published this post and tacked on an image just so I could pin them. :)

•  "The folks in Mississippi are saying, 'Thank God for Texas.' "   -Kinky Friedman.  (Richard S. "Kinky" Friedman (1944 - ), American singer, songwriter, novelist, humorist, politician and former columnist for Texas Monthly who styles himself in the mold of popular American satirists Will Rogers and Mark Twain.)

 "I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day." -James Dean  (James Byron Dean (1931 - 1955), American film actor and cultural icon, who died at age 24 in a tragic car accident.  Best embodied by the title of his most celebrated film, "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955). -  NOTE:  I've heard a lot about that movie.  But I don''t remember watching it.  I remember Mr. Dean from the movie "Giant" with Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor.)


Mr. Dean is pictured on the LIFE magazine cover sandwiched between Marilyn Monroe and Bruce Lee.

My Favorite Movies Starring Elizabeth Taylor (1932 – 2011)

Remembering one of the Hollywood stars from back in my day who is no longer with us. Elizabeth Taylor (1932 - 2011).

There are three motion pictures starring this iconic legendary beauty that made an impression on me as a little girl and as a teenager:

National Velvet (1944) ; Giant (1956) ; Cleopatra (1963)
