Man Cheetah, Bringing Up Baby and Philadelphia Story have to be two of the best movies ever. Katharine Hepburn is an American institution.

Yes I think Honky Dory also. Jimmy got it.

*Edit: I would have easily had I been told it was used for an album cover insiration but to just see the picture no, make sense? (also I just saw the cover very recently, Honky Dory is sitting in my car on the seat)

OK Bowie but I just wanted to answer the BQ:

Robert Mitchum 1950s fim noire star and BAD BOY, DAMN this guy was SMOKIN back in the day:

Edit to Jimmy: I just love Katherine Hepburn - she was just so original somehow. I have a book about her life and it's one of my favorite things.
