    Caution mixes with hope at restrained events on NYE in CT
  • Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan are seen in a poster for 1945's "Christmas in Connecticut." It's believed Stanwyck's character, Elizabeth Lane, was loosely based on Gladys Taber, a popular columnist at the time for magazines such as Ladies' Home Journal. Taber, who lived at Stillmeadow Farm in Southbury, wrote nearly 60 books and a column in the 1930s and 1940s called "Diary of Domesticity." Elizabeth Lane's column is "Diary of a Housewife," but it's a sham. She can't cook and doesn't live on a farm. The romantic comedy follows what happens when she pretends to be what she isn't, and falls in love with one of her fans, war hero Jefferson Jones, played by Morgan.
