As I said when the first article in this series was created, this is not a Hall of Fame, or an All-Star Team; instead, think of it as a family album. With an endless supply of blank pages!
As always, if you know of somebody (besides me) who you think should be included, please email me with the information. Further updates will be made from time to time. (And some of the sites originally included on this page when it was first created in 1998 have gone dark, and so the names have been removed.) Now, without further ado...
Meredith Leonard runs a joint called Meredy's Place, a Best of the Net winner which offers lots and lots of classic movie trivia, postcards you can send, cyberkitties, and more. She has also created tributes to Jimmy Stewart, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, and many more. While enjoying trivia, classic stuff, computers, and cats, among other things, Meredy dislikes rap, heavy metal, Pepsi, and small children. Well, don't we all?
The prolific David B. Pearson has gifted us with Arbucklemania, Silent Ladies, Silent Gents, Slapstick and
DG, as well as two mirror sites of Bruce Long's silent film text database, Taylorology. He's a freelance newspaper and graphics designer, and co-author of Buster Keaton's "Sherlock Jr." (Cambridge University Press). He also edits the Arbuckle Comedy Quarterly web/email newsletter. His other interests include the American Civil War, chess, luxury liners (except for The Titanic), Macintosh computers, journalism, professional wrestling, and the 60s TV show The Prisoner.
David Pierce is the person behind Silent Film Sources, which lists silent films available in the United States for purchase on home video and laserdisc and for rental or sale in 16mm and 35mm. A News section gives information on new silent film releases on video and
laserdisc. A sister site, The Silent Film Bookshelf, reprints original documents from the silent era. Both sites are updated with new information each month.
Becky Pranger, also known as "The Webchick" among Sinatra fans, is one
half of a husband-and-wife
Web development team. Her most famous achievement is Blue-Eyes.Com, a salute to Frank Sinatra done for Rick Apt's Sinatra Collectibles, as well as a site called Private Art. It's no surprise to learn that she and her husband are interested in nostalgia, especially classic American pop and classic Hollywood.
