Case in point: the Ali MacGraw-esque look created for Kendall Jenner (THR beauty moment No. 9) by hairstylist Jen Atkin.

  • Bomb Blast Kills Lebanese President-Elect Monaco's Princess
    (Enmwrttort Baily damjma Vol. LXXXV1 NO. 6 The University of Connecticut Wednesday. September 15, 1982 Gemayel to have begun term Sept. 23- Bomb blast kills Lebanese President-elect Fifty others reported dead or injured in the explosion BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Bashir Gemayel, the 34-year old president-elect of Lebanon, was killed Tuesday in a bomb blast at an office of his Phalangist Party in Christian east Beirutrepresen- tatives. He had survived two other attempts on his life. There was no claim of responsibility for the blast, which munitions experts said was caused by an estimated 400 pounds of explosives. Government radio said eight people were dead and 50 others were either killed or wounded. Lebanese Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan called the bomb blast "a criminal act" and said he would delay the reopening of the last crossing point between east and west Beirut that remains closed. Gemayel campaigned on a platform of a "strong and united Lebanon" and promised upon election Aug. 23 to purge his divided country of all foreign armies. Most Sunni Moslem legislators boycotted the uncontested parliamentary elections that gave Gemayel the presidency. Moslem leftists expressed fears a Gemayel government would bring reprisals for the 1975-1976 civil war, which pitted Christians against an alliance of Moslem leftists and Palestinian guerril- las. Gemayel's top aides said there would be o retribution for the bloody civil strife but many Moslems remained unconvinced. On the day he was elected, Gemayel vowed to represent "all Lebanon" and said he sought "to achieve unity among all Lebanese." Bashir Gemayel had said he would be the Wests strongest ally in the Arab world, and he also was expected to seek close ties with Israel, which has supported his right-wing Phalange militia since the civil war.

The scene in which Charles Alexander Swann (Dawson) attempts to strangle Margot Mary Wendice (Kelly), only to be himself stabbed with a pair of scis- sors, caused Hitchcock great anxiety.

The film has been called a superb commentary on watching films, on loneliness, and on obsession, as well as a sharp critique of the male psyche. But at its essence, Rear Window is a paean to old-fashioned snooping. “Sure he’s a snooper, but aren’t we all?” said Hitchcock. “I’ll bet you that nine out of ten people, if they see a woman across the courtyard undressing for bed, or even a man puttering around in his room, will stay and look; no one turns away and says, ‘It’s none of my business.’ ” The original still: Grace Kelly and James Stewart.

  • Oscarsaysknoll
    There are the film stars of the world: Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Bridget Bardot, Meryl Streep. Such talent and beauty. But we’re more interested in the talent behind furniture beauties: Saarinen and Bertoia and van der Rohe. Knoll designs have featured prolifically in film, from the classical to the contemporary to the futuristic - evidence that Knoll is Modern Always. Whether it’s a Bertoia Chair in Devil Wears Prada or a Platner Chair in Quantum of Solace, furniture can often hijack the attention of the audience, away from the action and dialogue of a film to communicate values and mood wordlessly. A well-chosen sofa, chair, or table can subliminally tell us more about a character’s personality or an environment’s tone than many pages of script. When a production designer needs to convey a character’s good taste and discerning style or when they simply need an extremely handsome piece in a domestic or office setting, we’ll often spot a Knoll. With the Oscars upon us, allow us to recognize some of our most prominent leading characters to grace the big screen. EERO SAAR INEN THE WOMB CHAIR was a groundbreaking design by Saarinen at Florence Knoll's request for "a chair that was like a basket full of pillows - something she could really curl up in." This mid-century classic supportas countless positions and offers a comforting oasis of calm—hence the name. And resulting in being staged on countless sets for a sense of chic comfort and style. THE WOMB CHAIR IN LEGALLY BLONDE “Endorphins make you happy…” and so does good design.

  • Historical Backgrounder
    HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDER Nestled in the canyons of Los Angeles, Hotel Bel-Air has been a hideaway for world travelers for well over half a century. A visionary significant in the development of the area, Alphonso E. Bell created Bel-Air Estates in 1922. Bell acquired over 600 acres west of the city of Los Angeles, naming his new purchase “Bel-Air.” Determined that the estates would become an exclusive and upscale neighborhood, he enhanced the surrounding area with new roads, utilities, a country club and lush, exotic vegetation. What is now Hotel Bel-Air’s main mission-style building was originally built as Bell’s estate planning and sales offices. These offices were located next to the Bel-Air Stables where residents could board their horses and enjoy the miles of equestrian trails winding throughout the canyons. For the next few decades Bell’s dream flourished. In 1946 Joseph Drown, a hotel entrepreneur from Texas, purchased 18 acres, and the land offices, and began plans to create an elegant pastoral hotel hideaway encompassing most of the land. Drown immediately hired architect Burton Schutt to convert the buildings and construct the 62 rooms of what was to become Hotel Bel-Air. Drown transformed the grounds into lush, beautiful gardens, adding Swan Lake to the picturesque front lawn. He had a vision of creating a natural California oasis, planting palms, ficus trees and perennial blooms. Drown also closed the Stone Canyon stables and built the sparkling oval-shaped pool at the site of the original riding ring. The hotel opened on August 24, 1946.
