Richard White
Mark HorowitzMark Horowitz

Currently reading Stanford historian Richard White’s “The Republic for Which It Stands,” a history of Reconstruction and the Gilded Age. It echoes the conflicts of our current era, but is also somehow reassuring. We survived worse. https://t.co/Whha4e4GjR

Sunset Boulevard

Billy Wilder
Mark HorowitzMark Horowitz

Speaking of Billy Wilder... and how brilliant is Gloria Swanson in every scene of Sunset Boulevard; she was only 50 years old and, according to Wikipedia, only 4' 11" tall. The illusion she creates is so complete, people believe she had to be just like Norma Desmond in real life. https://t.co/VLf4NMvy9D
