Flying



Peter Pan, 1960. Mary Martin. My all time favorite childhood fairytale-TV special-Peter Pan actor.

It is my heartfelt belief that the best portrayals of Peter Pan have been by women, and they have delivered a not- so -secret message to girls everywhere through the years-- about freedom and possibility.

  8. Oh well done. I am having to repeat myself so often with every new Sepia Saturday post I read this week - but what a creative response to the theme.

  9. Yes! The Mary Martin version. I was so excited when it came out on VHS tape so long ago. Magical.

    I went to a performance in LA of Peter Pan staring Kathy Rigby. She flew up and over the audience. Was great fun.
