Recently, we saw a 1957 picture of #SophiaLoren and #JayneMansfield at a table (with Sophia seeming a little put-off by Jayne), and we decided to make a version of it in a behind-the-scenes pic featuring #gailgerber and #joyharmon in a booth at the #whiskyagogo while filming #villageofthegiants .

Happy belated 160th birthday to Mr #hgwells ! Let’s face it, if not for his story #thefoodofthegods , writer/director #bertigordon may never have made #villageofthegiants . Enjoy Mr Wells in this little handshake-across-time with Merrie ( #joyharmon ). We wonder what he’d do with the goo.

Recently, we saw that the bio page on IMDB for #joyharmon had been updated to reflect her actual birth year of 1938 (for years prior, Joy had claimed 1940). However, we realized there had been a clue in front of us for a long time. Joy’s 1956 Yearbook image was an undated key element all along!
