I've always found Van unnatractive. Enough so that I avoid his films, unless there's something else in it to make up for it. It's his lips. What did Joan see in this guy? Plus he's a CAD with a CAPITAL C to boot!

By Adrian yet!

They used to have these at the end of the year. Is it now going to be a summer thing? Didnt realize it was on.

Oh, ok. I couldn't find the original post.

Hopefully they'll run it again soon. It's hilarious.

When was this Delores Hart docu on???? I'm sorry I missed it.

It's a laugh riot! I'm sorry I missed the first part this time. Uncle Fester pushing heroin........

Did anyone watch High School Confidential last night with MAMIE and Jackie Coogan (as the pusher!) LOL.

Russell already wrote her memoirs. Wonder how much could be new?

I recorded the whole day of B teen JD's!

MILLIE!!!

Yeah, I think Hooked On A Feeling was his next hit after NY Woman. I guess he was part of a group before that. I dont remember I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, the hit before NY Woman. He had quite a few hits once he got airplay.

It stood for Billy Joe. But I remember jokes about the initials......I first became aware of him when Eyes of a NY Woman came out and he sang it on American Bandstand. From what I've read he'd been around for awhile, but I hadnt heard of him before that.

Agree. Not how I'd want to remember her (or anyone).

If she was chosen would probably be a disappointing day as many of her films were done at Paramount and Fox and I doubt TCM would want to spend the extra money to air them. We'd probably get a lot of films they show a lot of: I'll Cry Tomorrow: I Want to LIve! etc. Not that there's anything wrong with them.

Yeah, me too.

Yes, I read it when it came out and it was very good and well researched. Over 600 pages, I think. I don't recall any ban. It was a bestseller and I remember seeing him on talk shows promoting it. I wish, though, he hadn't included a picture of MM from the morgue.

What a name! About as good as ETHEL GUMM!

LOL. She must've been cast as a replacement. She wasnt part of the original cast. Funny, I don't remember that.

Yes, The Lillian Burns technique. Many MGM actresses were tutored by her (I think that was her name) A lot of their acting styles were similar. She was the acting coach at MGM for many years for neophytes. (not sure if she tutored the men).

She was great. Funny and heartbreaking at the same time.

Yes. I've never seen the film. Have always wanted to. It received scant release at the time and I'm not sure it was ever shown on tv (maybe HBO or some pay channel) It did get good reviews. Bryan Forbes film starring his wife, Nannette Newman and Malcolm McDowell

There's plenty of information pointing to a cover up in Summers book.

Or she was prepared to use it on Ryan if he tried to shoot Heflin......or as leverage.

Yeah, I think she was prepared for the worst! LOL.
