Mine came yesterday afternoon. It had a silhouette of a cowboy on it! Yippe-yi-o-kayay!

Last year's "lunch bunch" was so much fun! The more the merrier....

I am so excited by the announcement on the website about upcoming festival highlights. Kyle posted this link in another Festival Forum thread, but I'm encouraging everyone who hasn't seen the scheduled events to follow this link, too! http://www.tcm.com/festival/#/home/index My mailbox should be open by now, BTW...

I just loved Eva Marie Saint's hairdo in this scene....It's so lustrous, shiny, and bouncy... and reminds me of a Breck girl!

Oops! I'll take care of it by this afternoon. Thank you, ever vigilant Mavester!

Lynn did indeed make the scheduled contact, so I will try to access the free tickets. I already have a carload full coming from Houston if we are able to download the tickets.... This sounds great! Ben M. is a wonderful, down-to-earth fellow, and I can't wait to see him again. He's very personable and easy to "chat up." I enjoyed the way he handled the Esther Williams/Betty Garrett pool party at the TCM Fest last April....

But of course!!

Me, too, Jackie! I can't wait to hear what Leslie Caron has to say about *An American in Paris*.

I am polishin' up my boots, and takin' my wagon intuh town fer supplies.....I don't wanna miss Roy's celebrashun... I can't wait to find out about the complete schedule...

The third version looks best from my monitor. But I will be honest, I will try to read these articles no matter the clarity. They are all so interesting. Thank you, Peter.

Greer Garson all day Monday! *Madame Curie* and *Mrs. Parkington* are two of my favorites..

meget god...meget smuk ( Danish for "very good, very pretty!")

Hey, 'Lil buddy.....

Great shots of Jane! I would love to see her at the TCM Film Festival discussing *Klute*... her coif in that flick started the whole Gypsy-cut trend.

Love and hugs to you and yours. There is always great jubilation upon your weekly return, so you know how much you are revered. One big ()! Jackie Joseph would be great. "Sunglasses" Jack would be great, too. I would certainly enjoy presenting him with a solid gold golf club...

And look what Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds are doing with Dick Cavett in San Diego on February 12th: https://www.totalrewards.com/hotel-reservations/main/?packageCode=PHOLY&propcode=RIN&originalpage=/MakeReservation.do&r=http%3a%2f%2fwww.harrahsrincon.com%2fcasinos%2fharrahs-rincon-san-diego%2fhotel-casino%2fproperty-home.shtml Wish I could be there!

Can you imagine them meeting by happenstance.... Hello Ida, this is Elda...Elda, Nella, Nella Elda, Ida...Elda, Elda Ida..., Nella ..Ida, Ida Nella....a nachtmare!

Leslie Caron's "Auberge" in France under new ownership. http://www.lalucarneauxchouettes.fr/ This boutique hotel and restaurant so lovingly restored by Ms. Caron is discussed in her autobiography, *Thank Heaven*.

Katharine Hepburn in *The Lion in WInter* on today! Barbra Streisand in *Funny Girl*... Olivia De Havilland in *The Heiress.*.. All photos are not necessarily from the films highlighted...

That black taffeta number that will take " you right back to 1914" sounds like something. I guess she's discussing Travis Banton, one of Marlene's entourage at one point.The old-fashioned corset with the white organdie blouse really caught Hedda's eagle eye for fashion... And I can't imagine Hopper's household being "unpleasant for more than a week..." These articles are a total hoot, filmlover! Thank you...

Because there is always something to enjoy about this thread....

And Izcutter's Kevin Brownlow wish came true!

Thanks for this informative post, Kyle. I had forgotten about some of these concepts, and your post was a great refresher. One of the main reasons I continue to be a TCM devotee is that the variety and scope of programming, along with many of the Extras and Original Programming keep me a faithful viewer. The history of the programming challenge is also an area that Aretha might consider exploring, and since the new challenge is open for all members on the board through early March, it might be a great way to involve Aretha's concepts and requests in a concrete manner that might ultimately engage TCM programmers in her suggestions. Aretha can follow this link to the original post: http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=157954&tstart=0&messageID=8488015#8488015 Also, I'd like to recommend one of my favorite movies for Aretha's enjoyment if she's never seen it.-- *Baghdad Cafe* with C.C.H. Pounder. Please preview it before screening it for your grandchildren. It's rated PG.

Short hair, Big part... Ingrid Bergman in *For Whom The Bell Tolls* on Thursday... Elizabeth Taylor in *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ...* Katherine Hepburn and Katherine Houghton in *Guess Who's Coming to Dinner* ? Vivien Leigh in *A Streetcar Named Desire*

I remember that thread. It was so much fun and had some great photos...
