All About Eve premiered in NYC 76 years ago today, Oct 13, 1950! The NY Times called it “witty, mature and worldly-wise,” adding that “Mr. Mankiewicz, who wrote and directed it, had been sharpening his wits and his talents a long, long time for just this go."

American poet & essayist Louise Glück died #OTD in 2023.

She won the 2020 Nobel Prize in #Literature for "her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal." US Poet Laureate, 2003-04. #poetry #LitSky #BookSky

Nobel Prize-winning poet Louise Glück (1943–2023) is captured in this contemplative portrait, set against a rich, saturated forest-green background. A master of the "austere beauty" that made her one of America's most celebrated literary figures, Glück is shown in a three-quarter view, seated on a wooden chair. Her expression is one of quiet, penetrating observation—a look that mirrors the candid, often stark nature of her Pulitzer Prize-winning work like The Wild Iris. She is dressed simply in a black tank top paired with a matching black cardigan. Her silver-grey bob is neatly styled, framing a face that conveys a lifetime of intellectual rigor and creative reinvention. Her pose is thoughtful: her right arm rests on the chair's back, while her left hand is tucked under her chin. The composition is asymmetrical, with Glück positioned on the right, leaving a wide expanse of deep green to the left that heightens the image's sense of stillness and interiority. The mood is intimate and dignified, fitting for a woman who served as the U.S. Poet Laureate and whose legacy remains a cornerstone of contemporary literature.

#OTD in 1775 the Navy was born. From those first two ships in New England, to the sprawling naval complex in our desert, the Navy has played a vital role in protecting our country. We’re working on a brand new exhibit to tell NAS Fallon’s story better, but for now enjoy this selection of objects!

A collection of navy objects including patches, a large emblem, photos of planes and armored vehicles, a contractor's pass, and an etched glass image of a jet in flight.
