This is what happens when you become a film star and world famous. Bob Dylan was right when he said: "Obscurity is a blessing."
ReplyDeleteThat was me guys! 😂
ReplyDeleteI knew it! :)
DeleteSo it is historically accurate he had fangirls! Score!
ReplyDeleteHe was getting fan mail from as far away as Japan.
DeleteI think I read about that in the Houdini biography I got. The fan from Japan was complementing on his handsome nose. Honestly I love his nose too. It’s so cute! ☺️
DeleteI read a letter from a fan in South Africa in the HRC. It's great. Part of it reads:
Delete"When I start thinking of you during lessons at school I can't work I get so excited and funny feelings run through me and the teacher gets so cross. But I can't help it it's your face and your top lip that's to blame, they're so lovely they haunt me."
Oh my gosh yes! I can relate! It happened to me at work. My coworkers saw me blushing and could tell I was daydreaming about him.
DeleteThe Japanese fan letter from Y. Hasegawa, on page 235 in Silverman:
ReplyDelete"I am one of the most admirers of you. Charmed by your excellent art with a lovely face."
I remember it being a Japanese fan writing it after they saw one of his movies. Haldane or The Master Mystery or something.
DeleteThe global distribution of The Master Mystery I'm 1919 exposed Houdini to the Asian market. It was shown in China, Japan, and the Philippines.
DeleteThat makes a lot of sense
DeleteI want to see The Master Mystery as an anime now LOL 😂 wouldn’t that be cool!
DeleteThat is a great idea. Bring it!
DeleteHoudini just needs an anime intro he deserves one! Sorry! My inner weeb can’t resist! On the subject of Japan and such.
DeleteWhat better way to actually finish The Master Mystery to make it into a Japanese anime? 😂 my art style has influence from it, but it’s not exactly anime. I also can’t animate either.
DeleteThe closest thing we got to a Houdini anime is that animated French movie of a young version of him. I’ve been trying to find it for a while and it looks so good! The art is gorgeous! A bit of steampunk influence as well from what I can tell. It looks like a Studio Ghibli movie a bit which I’m absolutely sold on! ❤️
