“A Day in the Life of Hollywood"  Images shot on May 20, 1992

Goldie Hawn, 47, takes an outdoor meeting with writer Valerie Curtain, at far left, and Anthea Sylbert, producer and partner in the Hawn.Sylbert Motion Picture Company.

The day’s discussion concerned an untitled comedy about a modern family, written by Curtain, which Hawn and Sylbert are considering for production.

Alex Winter, of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" fame, goes to work on location in Malibu. Each morning, Winter spends three to four hours getting into his make-up for his starring role in "Hideous Mutant Freekz, the movie he also co-wrote and is co-directing. He says his makeup, (designed By Bill Corso of X Effects) is so comfortable that he can sleep in it-and once did, during a marathon three day period when he was too busy to get out of costume.

Steve Neale, 29, rehearses for a knee-up body burn in "Warlock II, was on fire for forty seconds before being extinguished by his crew. Neale practices with different fuels to make sure the flames show up on camera. His clothing is treated, and his body is covered with a protective gel. A stunt man for eight years, Neale has never been hurt. "If you're a professional, you don't feel the heat," he claims.

"Untitled" was made by having a 40" x 60" photograph taken of the original painting, and then painting on top of that new surface. The big difference besides size, is that on the larger painting, a number of photographic moments are left at the conclusion of the painting. Color also shifts, given that it is manipulated to a relational, but different state. This process is being applied to all of the paintings following this first one.

What the well-dressed space explorer was wearing in 1960: a suit of rubber and aluminized nylon, topped by a fiberglass helmet with an acrylic visor. The spacesuits were tested during training in conditions that ranged from weightlessness to underwater submersion.

The initial Mercury flights took off in the early 1960s, though some of those astronauts were active in later flights. Alan Shepard was the first man to fly in space. John Glenn, one of the most famous of the original spacemen, became a United States senator from Ohio. He was the first American to orbit the earth.  Of the original seven, only John Glenn and Scott Carpenter survive today.

John Kurze, Jr. (cowboy hat in booth) realized a lifelong dream when he became an auctioneer five years ago at Middlesex Livestock Auction. A horse trainer by trade, Kurze got his start auctioning antiques on weekends. Farmland has slowly given way to residential development in Connecticut, and Middlesex is now the last livestock auction in the state. Photo, Cloe Poisson, The Hartford Courant
