Phony Tinsel
Oscar Levant in An American in Paris (1951)
“Behind the phony tinsel of Hollywood lies the real tinsel.”
Oscar Levant (December 27, 1906 – August 14, 1972) was an American pianist, composer, author, comedian, and actor. He was more famous for his mordant character and witticisms, on the radio and in movies and television, than for his music.
After retiring from the United States Navy, I had a second career as an accountant. Now, I am a seasonal tax preparer. My main hobby is digital photography, and I love to travel around the southeastern United States with my cameras. Most of my photography consists of nature, travel, landscape, historical, and architectural subjects.
My wife, Helen, and I grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts. We moved to the Jacksonville Beach, Florida, area in 1970 when the Navy stationed me at Mayport. We have three daughters, six grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and two Sheltand Sheepdogs.
