Let me introduce to my Maybelline cousins, Aaron Dietzen and Travis Rueckert, Mabel Williams Hewes, great grandsons.

Mabel Williams Hewes is Maybelline's namesake. Founded in 1915, by her brother, Tom Lyle Williams, in Chicago.

Aaron Dietzen is Brian Dietzen's brother. ( Brian plays Jimmy Palmer in the TV show, NCIS.)

These two very talented cousin's of mine just published the most charming Children's book, called "Montgomery Eugene Cobblesworth Picks Up."

Montgomery Eugene Cobblesworth is a very bright boy with a very bad habit... He never picks up after himself!  Find out what happens when Montgomery's newest invention makes even bigger messes than he does!

The pictures in the book are quite unusual, because every piece was made and photographed. It took over two years creating and building everything in every image.  The rooms, the characters, the furniture and every prop were made from scratch in Aaron and Travis garage shop in Longmont, Colorado!

You can order the book in either soft cover format and/or Kindle. Hard cover coming soon!

NCIS’ Season 12 Cast:  Brian Dietzen Talks To Real Medical Examiner, ‘Try To Be As True To Life As Possible’ [VIDEO]

Maybelline's namesake, Mabel Williams, great grandson, Brian Dietzen, plays Jimmy Palmer on NCIS

The video, which is below shows Dr. Cina stating, "They know what they're doing. The respect they show the patient is apparent. We treat our people like patients as well."

"I think the detail for the anatomy is very good. I think the special effects are actually quite good," the real medical examiner added.

"They really stay with ancillary role of the medical examiner or forensic pathologist. They're not central to solving a crime. That's not our role. We bring out medical fact," Dr. Cina explained of how NCIS carries out what a medical examiner does in real life.

"We try to be as true to life as possible," Dietzen said of the series, adding, "But within the reality of we have to tell the story in 42 minutes or less. That's our biggest cheat probably. The amount of time it takes to do what you guys do, which might take weeks."

Dietzen also commented on how his character and Dr. Mallard "have a life outside of the victims".

"You have to have fun, you have to joke, you have to talk about the game last night, you have to talk about your girlfriend or your wife, talk about real life," he shared.

"In our show that really translates to a lot of funny stuff," Dietzen added.

NCIS airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

MARK HARMON'S MOTHER, MAYBELLINE MODEL, ELYSE KNOX DIES AT 94.

During the ’30s to the ’60s movie magazines around the world were overflowing with glamorous photographs of movie stars. One of the most interesting photographers working during this period was Paul Hesse who helped pioneer the use of color film in commercial art. (Old Movies Nostalgia.)

Paul Hesse and Elyse Knox.

Elyse Knox married fashion photographer
Paul Hesse, who had shot many of her print ads and magazine covers. 

                                            Elyse Knox

MAYBELLINE LIGHTS THE WAY TO NEW EYE BEAUTY, signed Elyse Knox.  By 1938 Paul Hesse had earned his reputation as one of the best commercial photographers working in New York. He was traveling to Hollywood several times a year to shoot glamorous photos of the stars for Photoplay magazine and he became the first photographer to use color in a national advertising campaign. 

Elyse Knox

Hesse enjoyed working with actors and he created many popular celebrity endorsed ad campaigns for companies such as  Maybelline, Rheingold Beer, Chesterfield Cigarettes, Lipton Tea, Royal Crown Cola and Studebaker automobiles. He also shot many photos for American Magazine.

     Elyse Knox

His colorful and hyper-realistic portraits of celebrities had a very distinct style that is still noticeable today. 

Elyse Knox.

The actress Greer Garson once said that Paul Hesse was, “greatly in demand by the leading national magazines to create cover-portraits to delight the eye. The result would be a true-to-life likeness but idealized, or glamorized if you will, by his superb technique in producing only delectable color values.”

Elyse Knox.

In 1940 Hesse decided to move to Los Angeles where he opened a new studio on Sunset Boulevard that became a gathering place for Hollywood stars and industry bigwigs. According to the book Masters of Starlight: Photographers In Hollywood, he was awarded the title of “Hollywood’s Photographic Ziegfeld” by a committee of unnamed movie stars in recognition of his contribution to their careers. 

Elyse Knox dies at 94; 

B-movie actress inthe 1940s.

Elyse Knox appeared in nearly 40 films. She was

perhaps best known for the only horror film she ever 

made, 'The Mummy's Tomb,' with Lon Chaney Jr. as the

 

monster who kidnaps her.

Elyse Knox and Tom Harmon.

While appearing on the Bing Crosby radio show, Elyse 

Knox met football star Tom Harmon. 

They were engaged to marry, but ended the relationship 

when Harmon entered the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942.

Later that year, Knox married fashion photographer

Paul Hesse  The marriage was brief. Following her

divorce and Tom Harmon's return from World War II

during which he survived two plane crashes and being 

(lost in the jungle), she and Harmon married in 1944.

Knox's wedding dress was made from silk from the

parachute Harmon used when bailing out of his crippled 

plane.

   

Tom Harmon

 The couple remained together until his death in 1990.

Congratulations NCIS and my cousin, Brian Dietzen for your 200th episode.

I'm very proud to say that Brian Dietzen, "Jimmy Palmer," on NCIS, is Mabel Williams-Hewes and her husband Chet Hewes, great grandson, and one of my cousins.

If you have followed my blog, you know who Mabel and Chet are.  If not, here's what you've missed.

Tom Lyle Williams, sister Mabel, (Maybelline's namesake,) married Chet Hewes and had

 three children.Shirley, Tommy and Joyce. 

Tommy grew up, married Mary Lee, had Trudy..... Trudy grew up, married Keith Dietsen and had Brian.....

Brian was such a cute kid, Hollywood took a glance, and.....

cast him as Jimmy Palmer, on NCIS.  However, "When Brian auditioned for the part, he was almost turned down because the casting director said he was too good looking.  Brian convinced them he could play nerdy.  Maybe that's why he wears those goofy glasses."  (story from Brian's aunt, Linda Hughes.)

NCIS just celebrated it's 200th episode.
