Announcing the Second Van Johnson Blogathon!

Disha Nisan 23, 2022

So, I definitely have a problem and it's called "hosting blogathons." I just can't help it, especially when it comes to celebrating people I adore. Life has been pretty hectic lately -- we had to recently put my grandfather in the nursing home and sell his house; I've finally recovered after three months of impaired vision; and my family is getting ready to embark on a European adventure that we desperately need. (Let's just say 2018 hasn't been completely kind to us so far.)

This is all to say that I know this is a bit of a late announcement, but when thinking about what blogathons I wanted to host this year, my mind quickly went to the Van Johnson celebration I held in August of 2017. As you may know, Van is one of my favorite actors. He has been a bright light throughout my entire journey with classic film, and it only makes sense that I show my love for the man by hosting the Second Van Johnson Blogathon on August 24-26!

The rules are simple: talk about Van. You can discuss his films, his TV appearances, his stage work, or his personal life (be kind, please!). All I ask is that there are no duplicates. I would love for this to be a diverse celebration of Van because he more than deserves it. Just leave me a comment, select a banner, and I'll see you in August!
