**A Tribute to Natalie Wood**
If Natalie hadn't drowned in November, 1981, she would have been 70
years old in July 2008. It's hard to say what we have lost in terms of
great performances. Here’s a tribute to her relatively short but
sparkling career.

**A Tribute to James Cagney**
Jimmy would have been 109 years old this year, and probably still
tough as nails. For somebody who played so many hoods and tough
characters during his career, Cagney was a truly nice guy.

**A Tribute to Ginger Rogers**
She was so much more than Fred Astaire's dancing partner, and she
would have been 97 years old on July 16, 2008. A salute to the one and
only Ginger.

**A Tribute to Barbara Stanwyck**
Known to her friends (and there were many) as Missy, Barbara Stanwyck
was one of the most talented and generous actresses who ever graced
the silver screen, with a career which stretched from pre-Code days to
a modern television series, and never once faltered.

**A Tribute to Milton Berle**
He was known to millions as "Mr. Television" at the dawn of the TV
ear, but he was also a popular movie actor for over 80 years.
