The year 1959.
Winters Past Vintage
Clothes & Jewelry is CLOSED
Was a store just 20 miles from our house.
We miss it.
Movie Star Joan was seen
in Winters Past shopping
for gloves and hats.
One person in town spotted
her walking down the
street
with her
husband.
They were
in Winters Past
for a long time.
Winters Past was a vintage emporium in the
lovely town of Micanopy, Florida. They carry a
well curated selection of vintage and antique
jewelry, clothing and accessories. You’ll find
the best of 20th century fashion: pieces from
the Art Deco era, the golden age of Hollywood
glamor, the mod decade, the MTV generation
and everything in between. We will miss this
store.
Honey, you look just like a
movie star in that hat.
So many hats
Jewelry is organized by type
and color.
Sorry. Hat boxes not for sale,
but I love to look at them.
Ray and Joanie love Deanna Durbin -
Edna Mae Durbin (December 4, 1921 –
April 20, 2013 age 92)
We have all of her films. She only made a
few films and at age 27 left Hollywood,
CA. and said she would not be back.
Known professionally as Deanna Durbin,
was a Canadian actress and singer, who
appeared in musical films in the 1930s
and 1940s. With the technical skill and
vocal range of a legitimate lyric soprano,
she performed everything from popular
standards to operatic arias. Durbin made
her first film appearance with Judy
Garland in Every Sunday (1936), and
subsequently signed a contract with
Universal Studios. Her success as the
ideal teenage daughter in films such as
Three Smart Girls (1936) was credited
with saving the studio from bankruptcy.
In 1938, at the age of 17, Durbin was
awarded the Academy Juvenile Award.
In 1946, Durbin was the second highest
paid woman in the United States, just
behind Bette Davis, and in 1947 she was
the top-salaried woman in the United
States. Her fan club ranked as the world's
largest during her active years.
The movie One Hundred Men and a Girl
1937 was with conductor Leopold
Stokowski .
As she matured Durbin grew dissatisfied
with the girl-next-door roles assigned to
her, and attempted to portray a more
womanly and sophisticated style. The film
noir Christmas Holiday (1944) and the
whodunit Lady on a Train (1945) were,
however, not as well received as her
musical-comedies and romances had
been. Durbin retired from acting and
singing in 1949, and withdrew from
public life. She married film producer-
director Charles Henri David in 1950, and
the couple moved to a farmhouse near
Paris.
TCM now only shows one or two of her
films. Sad because she could out sing
anyone in Hollywood at the time and
played next to top actors.
Did you know that the movie Doc
Hollywood 1991 with Michael J. Fox
was filmed in Micanopy, FL.?

As a professional photographer
I must always look my best.
And my movie star wife said I have to.
Ray looks like a mannequin.

Rumor has it from
Variety magazine that
Movie Star Joan is
trying on so many hats
that a movie deal was
cut for the screen play
called “She wore 50
hats.”
