LOL. But was it with a man or a woman?
-
While I buy that Douglas is telling the truth, it does seem odd that Mank. leaves the ending a bit ambigous. (never having Jeffrey Lynn come back or even call).
-
Another veteran who deserves an honorary Oscar, but who will never get one......I think the Academy holds it against her for dumping Hollywood and going to Broadway (and who can blame her?)........
-
Yes, she deserves it. She was a SUTS player not to long ago at least........
-
I dont think it has anything to do with Lawford being "unmanly". I agree, though after thinking about it, He has as much right to being a SUTS player as Anne Francis........
-
Who is in the 1930 version???
-
Thanks. I will definitely circle the dates on my calendar. A shame RO wont be around to introduce them.
-
Awhile back it was mentioned it was going to be shown in Sept (I think?) Can anyone refresh my memory as to what date and time?
And Story of Temple Drake sometime this fall? I cant wait to see both of these...........
-
LOL. It was sad to see what he became in his later years........
-
Oh. Another month? I didnt realize that. Thanks. Wonder if there'll be guest programmers again or Mank?
-
-
Yes, that's true. I'd forgotten about Anne Francis day (though I like her......)
-
So she was one of the Roadhouse gals? OK. I'll have to look for her next time......
-
That's very true. How many B pictures over time have become more lauded than A pictures which are now forgotten or havent aged well?
-
While I agree Blondell was a second tier star (more than a supporting player as many of her roles were shared leads or second leads/substantial roles) I dont think that should disqualify her for SOTM. Is her career any less important in the swing of things, than say, Donna Reed, who was SOTM awhile ago? Yes, she did play leads, but how many of those pictures were really that great?
I wouldnt mind at all if they created a second night for supporting players or included them as a SOTM once in awhile. People like Claire Trevor and Glenda Farrell had long careers and there would be many films to choose from across a broad spectrum.......
And WHEN is MARY ASTOR going to be SOTM???????????
-
Has anyone heard anything? Will he be back on the job Sept. 1st?
-
I didnt mean starring in as carrying the picture, she was obviously in supporting roles in many of them (particularly the later ones) but I dont think a supporting player (one who played a lot of second leads) should be disqualified from being SOTM..........
She was in Tree Grows in Brooklyn and I'm not sure about Centennial Summer (may have been something similar in theme.....too lazy to look it up now...........).......

Beats me. But her output was so large, I'm sure she made enough to qualify.........She definitely starred in some As after she left WB in her later career............
-
Yes, by the early 40s Lana Turner was getting the glamor treatment and roles Joan used to get when younger while Greer Garson inherited the plum dramatic roles that used to go to Shearer.........there was nowhere for Joan to go but out!
-
Although the people you mentioned have enough movies to be shown, they arent well known and not likely to be picked as SOTMs........Maybe a night tribute or something like that or a SUTS......
-
LOL. Especially since she was only Joan Tone for 3 or 4 years........
-
TCM has shown Female on the Beach in the past. I know I've watched it several times. But it's a Universal film, so that's probably why it isnt on much. Entertaining (not always in ways intended).........
-
I'm surprised they havent done her already. I get tired of the same 2 dozen or so SOTM in constant rotation. Give some others a showcase once in awhile.........
-
Yes, it's true Joan's younger daughters claim they were not abused, but they also didnt live with Joan during the earlier period when it was just Christina and Christopher........I still enjoy watching Joan (depending on the film)
ANY WORD ON RO????

It's only human to wonder what's wrong. No one here wishes him any ill will. So Ben isnt doing prime time hosting in Sept? That's too bad. I'd become used to him now. Wynona Ryder? Are they kidding?
