The Wooldridge Monuments are a series of historical monuments located in Maplewood Cemetery of Mayfield, Kentucky. They were built for Colonel Henry G. Wooldridge, to commemorate family members and other loved ones of his life, from 1892 until Wooldridge's death on May 30, 1899. Wooldridge is the only one buried at the site. The lot has been called "The Strange Procession Which Never Moves".

On this day in 1949, Robert Mitchum is released from prison after serving two months for marijuana possession.



Leaving the facility, reporters asked him what prison was like. He replied, "It's like Palm Springs without the riff-raff."



Perhaps more than anything else, it was this photo of Mitchum flashing a devil-may-car smile while strolling out of the slammer that cemented his public image as Hollywood's lovable rebel.

Working on something to share here on the OT that is related to that.. Just not ready yet....

But anyways... From Ernie Pyle's Book - Ernie Pyle in England..

From the maid at his hotel. Image this in a female british voice:

"I don't know if I can ever forgive old Hitler, if he gives us a Blitz on Christmas Day."
