When you checked out Astro Mart Astrology, did you find any of your planets in Pisces?
Venus and Asc. node (whatever that is!) Moon is in Capricorn.......

It's sad, Hibi, that you think Elizabeth is better known that Washington or Einstein (dig that crazy hair - did you ever see the movie where Walter Matthau plays him). I'm a Libra and share a birthdate with Gwenyth Paltrow (of Goop or Poop Fiction as opposed to Pulp Fiction). Someone I know had a potential mother-in-law who read zodiac charts. There are several factors to take into consideration. Personally, this is a stupid idea. Liz Taylor was supposed to be a very sweet person; Jackie Gleason was a racist and Jerry Lewis thought it was funny to imitate **** people (my brother was ****).
I was talking about people in the Entertainment industry. But I wouldnt be surprised if Liz is more famous than the other two. Doubt a lot of people overseas know a lot about U.S. history. I never said all Pisces were great. Lewis is definitely a blot on the sign...

But she did have a big career in Hollywood. She wasn't a studio star though. She worked through Korda mostly or freelanced.

Pisces people are indeed interesting. You're in good company, Dargo, with (to name but a few of course):
Jerry Lewis, Jackie Gleason, Albert Einstein and George Washington
Elizabeth Taylor, probably being the most famous.

By the way, I wonder what the water sign movies will be. Pisces are such interesting people. Cancers are calm and Scorpios mysterious.
Yes, we are! (Pisces).

If you are on the cusp, a sign can change based on birth year. June 21 usually designates a Cancer Sun, however.
I was born October 22, Scorpio cusp but am resolutely a Libra by every astrological account. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it isn't, lol.
I was born on the cusp too. 20 mins into Aries, but I fit Pisces to a T! I've always wondered why I didn't fit! LOL.
After checking that site, I'm still an Aries. I don't get it.

I know. I only found this out last week, when I tuned in one night. Guess she makes a chart for each star. LOL. In that way they could pick whatever films they wanted! Hope this doesnt become a trend. (LOL).

The baby in Jane Greer's arms is none other than Jeff Bridges making his film debut.
OMG!!!!!!!!! He started early.

LOL. Talk about a misleading poster! Yes, I couldnt remember the title, though I've seen it several times. I was asking about Paid in Full. I found it's Paramount, so that explains why TCM rarely shows it.

is it maybe CESAR ROMERO?
I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time getting past THAT MAUVE EYE SHADOW on CARTOON CLAUDETTE and CARTOON NORMA (as if either WOULD EVER!)
I see it and I am reminded instantly of this:
Romero was seen dancing with someone.....

Yes, I'd like to read that one also (Girls Like Us). I read her memoir (Dancing at Ciro's) and Hansel and Gretel in Beverly Hills some years ago.

Thursday, July 22
5:45 p.m. Thirteen Women (1932). With Irene Dunne and Myrna Loy.
This film is a hoot! Wish they could find the missing footage......

She was also in a domestic melodrama (a.k.a. "woman's picture") with Lizabeth Scott called Paid in Full. TCM rarely if ever shows it. Diana is mentally unstable, and Lizabeth (her older sister) is in love with Diana's husband. It has one of those far-out plots typical of the genre.
Yes, I've seen it, but not in a long time. Similar, I think, to the film Scott did with Jane Greer that I can't remember the title. Similar, due to the sappy character Scott plays in both (at least I think so, I've forgotten a lot of the plot) Would like to see this again. Was it Paramount or RKO?

They even got Powell’s bulbous Adam’s apple.
I think their C. Aubrey Smith is a little too virile looking though,(Although if he heard me say that I’m sure C. Aubrey would challenge me to some bareknuckle fisticuffs or whip out his blunderbuss or something....)
Yes, there he is! (Tracy) I knew I saw him somewhere! Too tedious to scroll through all of that.....
Sorry, I quoted the wrong post!

That was Diana Lynn who was a child prodigy as a concert pianist by the age of 12. She made her film debut playing the piano in They Shall Have Music and There's Magic In Music. Paramount put her under contract and she supported Ginger Rogers in The Major and the Minor. After The Miracle of Morgan's Creek she appeared in two Henry Aldrich films and two My Friend Irma films along with one of the last Martin & Lewis movies, You're Never Too Young. During the 1950s she played Spencer Tracy's daughter in The People Against O'Hara, Ronald Reagan's leading lady in Bedtime for Bonzo and co-starred with Burt Lancaster in The Kentuckian. After leaving Hollywood and running a travel agency in NYC for a number of years, Paramount offered her a part in Play It As It Lays, and she moved back to L.A. Before filming began, she suffered a stroke and died in 1971 at age 45.
That's sad. I'd forgotten she died so young.

Hibi i just received the books in the last week i was inquiring about the George Brent one if you have read it let me know what you think of it?
Yes, I read that a few years back when it came out. It's good. Well researched, but the author, like in his other bios, never provides insight about his subject. Just the facts. He led an interesting life.

I'm reading: Carrie Fisher: A Life On the Edge by Sheila Weller. Pretty good, a bit too much name dropping. And All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks, a woman who wound up caring for dying gay men during the Aids crisis in Arkanasas (become no one else would at the time) A tough read, but worthwhile. Had not heard of the book before, but CNN did a write up last month with the author on its .com site.

I made a big order of hard cover books for my collection and for the next 2 months-i guess-.I bought bios on Barbara Lamarr Mae Murray John Gilbert(i have Dark Star already),directors Thomas Ince, William Wyler a more recent one,Clarence Brown,the Vitagraph film studio and...George Brent , hey Hibi do you have this one ? I have read all the Agatha Christie's many years ago and everything by Conan Doyle,I do not have the time for fiction i prefer bios and movie books,in another life i will read McFarland's baseball books,they also publish the best movie books in the world.
Barbara La Marr? Yes, I've read it. It was good, a bit too exhaustive in detail for a minor star. I thought it could have benefited from some editing, particularly her early years, but it's worth reading.

I too COULD HAVE SWORN THAT ESTHER ROLLE played a maid on MURDER SHE WROTE on several episodes, but I imdb'd her and IT WAS ONLY ONE TIME!! (The episode where BEN MURPHY's car goes off a cliff and her old friend who lives in STATELY WAYNE MANOR ends up losing her mind...or is she being driven crazy? [spoiler- yes and yes.] ESTHER is the maid in that one.
It was BEAH RICHARDS who played the SASSY BLACK DOMESTIC in the STEAMY SOOOOOUUUHUUHUHUHUTHUN PLANTATION MSW EPISODE where LINDA PURL uses her comforter as a silencer when she kills the lawyer. [RICHARDS gets to tell JESSICA to mind her own business in a very subtle way and it is EPIC)
ESTHER ROLE did however play MAMMY in SCARLETT THE MINISERIES so...there;s that.
she also won an EMMY for SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER tho.
she also did a lot of commercials for THE PSYCHIC FRIENDS 1-900 NETWORK before she died. so I am thinking she did not save a nickel.
and then there is DRIVING MISS DAISY which, while I like the film, its use of her character as nothing more than a prop is problematic, even if she is terrific and i don't begrudge her the paycheck)
...Peaks and Valleys.

Psychic Friends? OMG! I could've SWORN she was in one of the New Orleans episodes of MSW. (Plus the one with Ann Blyth) Yes, sadly she did not have much to do in Daisy, another domestic! I guess she took what she could find to get a paycheck. I did not realize she had won an Emmy. I didnt watch a lot of tv back then. (Thank God for cable!!!)

It's not that I'm afraid. It just doesn't fit me at all. I'm not that kind of personality.
