           Do yourself a favor this weekend and view "Coded: The Hidden Love of J C Lyendecker" who is featured in todays post. It tells the story of a brave man who was so far ahead of his time. His artistic legacy laid the foundation for todays LGBTQ+  advertising. Currently on Netlix . It is beautifully done and also heartbreaking in its finality. A man living his truth before that was even a concept.                                                     Second suggestion would be finding a copy of Robert Gottlieb's biography on Greta Garbo "GARBO" also featured in todays post. Mark Harris's review in the N Y Times will tell you if it would be of interest to yourself. As a self confessed bio- whore ( a person who voraciously consumes biographies)  this is a very intelligent perspective on its subject.  One of the few biographies that after its subjects demise it carries on for, I don't recall exactly, perhaps three more chapters that are equally if not more so interesting than what preceded it.                                                                                                    Have a great weekend and discover something you did not know.
