“SMILE” by Des Kelly

Gone, but not forgotten. Judy Garland, mother of Liza Minelli (a “Star” that the younger folk will remember more of, I suppose), still, I remember Judy, who now rests in peace, after what was a most turbulent life.

Judy was an “artiste” who strived for perfection in everything she did. She was an actress, remembered for her roles with other “huge Hollywood Stars” such as Chaplin.

Charles was also “the “Comedian” of his era, although many folk are not aware that he was a brilliant musician as well.

I have chosen this “clip” of Judy Garland singing “Smile” as my personal choice, because it was associated with Charles Chaplins “Modern times” & also because this was in the era of 1936, the year this writer was born. Please enjoy the song folks, then sit back and SMILE at the wonderful photographs that should certainly make you feel happy that you are alive, and, at the same time, smooth the wrinkles in your face, simply because a “smile” works on every muscle in your face, thereby making it not only look happier, but younger as well.
