I was surprised how wonderful A Warm December starring Sidney Portier was. What an over looked gem . There is much about it that would make a fine musical. A team of enterprising young writers and composers should look into it.

Kim Jung Un is a great fan. It is him no doubt.

I'd love to have Rex Reed on board at TCM. Perhaps he could team up with Alec Baldwin on The Essentials.

When they filmed "The Jolson Story" Ms. Keeler forbade them to use her real name. What a pity. It might have helped her in later years, but she "retired" to be a mother and golf pro until she came back with No No Nanette on Broadway.

Barbara and Joan Crawford tried to fix up Christina with him but of course we know that idea didn't work.

The Broadway stage version was pale next to the original movie.

I saw her play Mame on Broadway and she was fantastic.

I don't know how they didn't stop my parents from allowing my sister and I, then under 12. to see An Anatomy of Murder, then billed for "Adults Only" no one under 17 admitted but we did. I was able to follow the story perfectly with my eleven year old mind and yes I found it kind of raunchy.

Unfortunately I felt the subject deserved better treatment. This documentary was very poorly done .

LEONARD BERNSTEIN....With Adrien Brody as Lenny and Stanley Tucci as Demitri Metropolis, his mentor and lover.

TED DANSON........Looks most like him.

I would have wanted the Julie Andrew's film "Star" to have ended with her portraying Gertrude Lawrence doing a scene from The King and I and her subsequent illness and death, A little morbid but it would have been very touching at the end.

I enjoyed the Warner Brothers TV version which starred Dorothy Provine. They should revive it with new stars like Lady Gaga doing the Provine role We are entering the 20's again soon you know, so why not?

Having seen the documentary I thought they could have done a better job. Such a fascinating woman deserved better. I thought it was boring.

Back in 1962 I saw her perform in a summer stock production of My Fair Lady with her husband George Gaynes.
