Listen to "Leaving Cuba 50 years ago with Orestes Matacena" on Spreaker.

We remember Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982)


The beautiful and talented Ingrid Bergman was born on August 29, 1915 and died on the same day in 1982.   

Her film debut was David O. Selznick’s Intermezzo: A Love Story (1939).  In 1942, she made "Casablanca" with Humphrey Bogart.   Then came "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in 1943 and few others.  


Her movies were great!   Watch one today.

US & Canada madness plus more

 


The US-Canada "trade war", as some are calling it, keeps getting sillier by the minute.  PM Carney should release the text and settle the matter.  The CBC is not saying that their reporters should not refer to 9-11 as terrorism.  We remember "I have a dream" speech 1963.......
