I agree about Jack Carson. The same is true of Eve Arden. Who could possibly do a better job than she did? Not surprisingly, she received her only Oscar nomination for this movie. I hope they know what they are doing in trying to remake this classic.

Well, I go off the site for awhile and then this fool stuff is happening. When I was waiting for the thread to download I was all WTF, WTF and I still feel this way or actually I am holding my breath but at least it looks like it is not being "updated". Thank Goodness. However, Mildred Pierce is a perfect movie. I can watch it over and over again and new things catch my eye every time. The biggest crime is to try to recast the role of Wally. Jack Carson is spot on-the perfect leech, opportunist, slimy, silver tongued character-his embodiment of Wally is golden. I have often wondered if Carson was nominated for an Academy Award for this role if he wasn't it's a crime. Just the last time I watched it when Wally says "knock on wood" Carson knocks on wood and he oozes slime you could just see the trail. My other favorite roles of Carson is Tarnished Angels and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and then there's A Star Is Born. Lots of people identify Carson with light comedies and I watch him but enjoy his meat and bones roles best. Again, thank goodness that they aren't updating the plot but they can't replicate the masterpiece that the original Mildred Pierce is by no means.

'Mildred Pierce' Filming Halted Because Kate Winslet Was Badly Bruised

May 26, 2010
AceShowbiz (blog)

Filming on Kate Winslet's new TV mini-series has been suspended after the actress fell over and hit her head during a game of basketball with her kids. The "Titanic" star has been shooting new HBO show "Mildred Pierce" in New York City, but production was halted on Monday, May 24 after she suffered a mishap while playing with Mia, nine, and Joe, six - her two children with estranged husband Sam Mendes.

Winslet reportedly bumped her head when she fell over and was left badly bruised, forcing TV bosses to shut down production on the series. A source tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "She fell after being hit by a basketball and suffered bruising that couldn't be covered with make-up, so the entire production was halted (on) Monday."

A representative for Winslet confirmed the incident, and insisted the star "is fine".

Don't know why someone else thinks she's tailor made for the part, but I think Kate can carry this role. As for remaking the film, aren't they remaking everything? TCM could schedule days and days of viewing based on original film versions and the remakes.

Why would anyone think Winslett is tailor-made for the part. There's no obvious connection between her and Crawford, and why remake the movie again?

Kate Winslet goes frumpy for Mildred Pierce shoot


20/04/2010
Mirror.co.uk

The newly-single actress plays a divorced middle-class housewife forced to become a waitress to feed her family.

And Oscar-winner Kate is tailor-made for the part - Joan Crawford won a best actress gong for the original role.
