Welcome to the archives here at Cyrano’s Journal /•\ ||| Placebo ART. Have a look around.
Cyrano’s Journal and its blogs are about clear thinking, the liberating power of truth and the cultivation of the good arts—which requires good artists to begin with. If you’re wondering who the gentleman in the pix is, well, it’s none other than one of the finest cinema and stage actors of the 1940s and 50s, Puerto Rico-born Jose Ferrer, onetime husband of Rosemary Clooney (and therefore uncle to famous George C.). His mug decorates this space because he gave us the definitive Cyrano in his Oscar-winning masterwork, Cyrano de Bergerac (1950). No one has ever topped that performance. He also gave us a terrific Barney Greenwald, defense attorney in The Caine Mutiny, but that’s another story.
