Hi All. Just wanted you to know I'm still here, after six months of silence. I became very, very unwell from about August to December of last year, and am just now getting better. Needless to say, the setback caused me to be unable to really focus on anything else. But don't think for a minute my blogging days are over, because you know, #bobbyforever.
That being said, I don't as yet have any "new" material to blog about, so I'm just going to show these pictures instead. I'm pretty sure if any of you follow Facebook or Instagram's Disney Archives page, you've seen these two... but I love them. Firstly, FIFTIES HAIR. I love how they take Peter Pan and put him in the context of the era. Even though I can promise you Peter Pan's wouldn't wear a polished quiff under his cap, Bobby sure looks dapper. And gotta love how he's cradling that stuffed animal.
I have always found it rather sad that Kathryn Beaumont -- the person most of us would think might have the very most memories of working with Bobby -- says she really didn't interact with him much. They had fun-looking photoshoots together and worked closely with one another on Peter Pan... not only the actual film, but all the publicity shots. Bobby has left an indelible imprint on the memories of almost everyone who knew him, but not really Kathryn. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, but it is rather a disappointment for Bobby fans.
Oh well. One can't have everything!
