That's a good clinch she has him in! can't tell you how Hanna came by them but Richard Dix was nominated for an Oscar for his role. Richard Dix was an American motion picture actor who achieved popularity in both silent and sound film. His standard on-screen image was that of the rugged and stalwart hero. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his lead role in the Best Picture-winning epic, Cimarron. Wikipedia

Sometimes Flickr is amazing! Poster via 小眾電影 Theatre in San Francisco via Al Barna and Randall Homan I wonder if Richard Dix was known as Dick Dix?!

beachcomber australia Makes a change to see a shirt-ripper rather than bodice-ripper poster. And you must do more research into his name for us...

Really amazing shot. Have certainly heard about the dust storms of those years from relatives, but amazing to see it in this way.

I wonder if that is their home? It's a reminder that today's economic downturn pales in comparison with what these people went thru in the 30s.

Arthur Rothstein (the man who took this photo) was my Photojournalism professor in college. He was only a teenager when he took this shot but he told me what a power impression it had on him.

This photo is one of the most memorable things from going to grade school. I grew up in the Midwest, and can remember wondering what the dust bowl must have been like, and I always went back to this photo.

Son, don't worry. Someday you'll look back on this as the perfect preparation for being an astronaut.
