Dear Cinemaaaaaaaaaaven! Thanks for stopping by! Hope all is well in your "neck of the woods." Just been enjoying Deborah Kerr films all day long. I love Summer Under The Stars. It's been wonderful. Can't wait for TCMFF 2013! I just had a thought about the Kennedy Center Honors, and I have just recommended Debbie Reynolds for a position on the Honors list. If you feel the same way, go to their facebook page and recommend her: https://www.facebook.com/KennedyCenter "I may have a nose full of splinters, but it's all good wood!" (Molly Brown)

OFFICIAL CRUISE NEWS: http://www.tcmcruise.com/talent TCMFF favorites Debbie Reynolds, Norman Lloyd, and Mickey Rooney will be surfing along with Sally Ann Howes and Arlene Dahl to the tunes of the wonderful Alloy Orchestra!

Agreed, Jacks. He just has a certain fluidity of motion that seems effortless....

His love for humanity would be a definite asset! And he would certainly fit right in at Monte! Plus, he adores boating!

So true, Bronxie! One day....I just know we will all traverse in tandem and in glorious Technicolor, and in style!

I can remember watching *Tarzan and the Amazons* with great anticipation. Maybe it was that I was only 11 and kept hearing the word Amazon crop up in conversations having to do with my height. Maybe it was that I so enjoyed all the Tarzan movies, and Edgar Rice Burroughs' stories and novels. But I do remember being spellbound by Maria Ouspenskaya and waiting for her to pronounce that all would be spared. (I am watching her right now.) She looked so Egyptian in her frock and headdress, but ultimately superior to all she surveyed. I can remember sitting in front of the massive television set, wanted to wear leopard skins, carry a spear, and organize all those gold bracelets on my arms for dramatic effect. And everytime Johnny Sheffield would be in trouble, it would make me tear up. He was so cute and adorable. How could anything evil befall such an unpretentious lad? But the highlight of all this Saturday devotion occurred in 1962 when I met Johnny Weissmuller in New Orleans. He was elegantly decked out in his Jungle Jim attire, a leopard-skin accent on his wide-brimmed hat, and was shaking hands, visiting with children, and signing autographs. I remember him taking out the huge, shiny knife and telling us that even thought it was pretty and shiny, that we should never use a knife like this unless our parents were with us because it was so dangerous. He was kind to the children and adults who had come to pay homage to one of our favorite screen heroes, and he was smiling and laughing. That's how I will always remember him! I am thoroughly enjoying this Saturday's TCM lineup. Maybe a classic Tarzan film will be on the schedule at the next TCM Film Festival!

Yes, Anne. Please recheck your connections. Thank you! Sue x 2

O.K. Here is the tour I want to take next spring: http://www.alisonweirtours.com/gloriana/gloriana.php

It's lovely! I can definitely envision quiet afternoons in the garden, cozy aperitifs in front of the fireplace, wooden-beamed delights of high-ceilinged dreams, and nooks galore for contemplating the muse!

That voiceover in *A Letter To Three Wives* ...the one and only Addie Ross...

If you enjoyed seeing the Aqualillies at the first Turner Classic Film Festival in 2010 with Esther Williams and Betty Garrett prior to a poolside screening of *Neptune's Daughter*, you might want to watch this CBS video airing this a.m. : http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57477704/aqualillies-give-modern-twist-to-water-ballet/ Footage from the first festival is included. See what the Aqualilliles are up to now!

I think my fave was meatloaf, green beans, tater tots, and a brownie. Yum. I know I 've seen that actor, but I am el blanko....

Wow! What a view! The following looks just like a place I visited last year in the Hill Country near New Braunfels, and I think it's just perfect for 'lil ole me! (It's in Umbria, however. Do forgive....)

kbreggia, Ginger Rogers is also one of my favorite screen personalities! I thoroughly enjoy *The Major and The Minor*, and all of her films with Fred Astaire. *Kitty Foyle* is also a great dramatic vehicle for her, and you are right--she has many talents!

Me, too. The technical artistry that created Robby and the people who were responsible for making him move and function onscreen are some of the unsung heroes of film. And I loved the intro to *The Adventures of Robin Hood* when they discuss the sounds of the arrows and how they figured out how to create the same sounds at Skywalker Ranch while showing the film of their experiments.

Ladies, I really have enjoyed the Leslie Howard films. I loved that story that Celeste Holm told about appearing on the stage with him. (The one about the "accidental" kiss.) Bronxie, my Mom loved to archive food. It all started back in Tampa, Florida, when she figured out how to make our very own T.V. dinners. She would save all the aluminum trays from previous frozen meals and make a huge pot of stew or a casserole with vegetables, cover the trays with "heavy duty" foil, and in a few weeks, they would magically appear whenever my Dad was out of town, and she didn't want to cook a big meal.

It was a link to Babette's Feast! Mon dieu! Try this one: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xvHYGv-Ul18

I think this photo is a total hoot, and I've never seen it. I've been looking at it and looking at it, and at first I think Burt is better looking, and then I think Robert is the prettier "girl," and I just keep going back and forth. It's Bob. No, it's Burt. No, no, it has to be Bob...I can't decide! And that hysterical look of stunned shock and/or fear on Errol Flynn's face makes it even more fun. And it looks like they are wearing identical outifts, hats, parasols, and bags... Joe, it is cracking me up! I adore this photo! One of your best/funniest/most unusual. Thank you. I needed it!

Thanks, Lavender. Been so busy. Miss all the trivia fun! Can't think of the next answer, though.
