Day Three: Miriam Hopkins Blogathon

Written by

We’re having so much fun we can hardly stand it!

Today is Day 3 of the Miriam Hopkins Blogathon, and the contributions are as amazing as they’ve been during the past two days.

Today’s posts prove Miriam enthrals audiences today as much as she did at the peak of her career. As our co-host, Maedez, says, “There’s just something about Miriam.”

This blogathon celebrates the career of a remarkable actress, and is launching the fab new site, Font and Frock, with our friend and fellow book/movie lover, Maedez, who also curates A Small Press Life.

Here are today’s outstanding posts:

    I’m posting shortly; besides taking a banner (which I will link to Day One, I guess, unless you’d rather I linked to something else), what do I need to do? Where should I send the link to my post? I meant to post on Friday and have been sick, don’t want the thing to go up after the blogathon ends (and so when nobody will see it).

    Just let me know—thanks so much, enjoying the posts!

      Oh, no problem at all! You’re still in time for our Grand Finale post this evening.

      So glad you were able to participate. It wouldn’t be the same to have a Miriam Hopkins fest without one of your thoughtful, well-written posts. 🙂
