True, but "they" didn't want to wait that long. She was sleeping with the president and his brother........

Another good book on Marilyn's last days (and her life) was a book called Goddess (I think) by Anthony Summers. Came out maybe 20- 25 years ago.

Ditto. Various suspects.

A lot of people in Hollywood (then and now) believe she was murdered. Plenty of evidence pointing to a cover up in the years since. But since the county didn't want to pay to open up a new inquiry it will always remain a mystery. Everyone involved is dead now.

Don't have much to add to Act of Violence. I've seen it a half dozen times and it's one of my favorite noirs. One I had not heard of before TCM! It has some believability issues, (the fact the hoods would go through with the plan w/out being paid first), but overall a gripping story and still timely subject matter today. Love all the Bunker Hill area night scenes. One thing I dont think anyone has mentioned are how finely etched the 3 female lead characters are written. Thaxter doesn't have a lot to do, but her character moves the plot along and her prodding of Ryan's conscience does affect him in the end. Astor and Leigh are both great. Everyone is. But for a noir the women are all 3 dimensional and well written. I've always wondered whether Astor tried to forge Heflin's signature and cashed that check!

Sad news. I was a fan during his peak years on the Scepter label (mid 60s through the mid 70s) I didnt follow him to his country period later. Great voice. I have several compilation cds of his. Nice looking guy too.

Well, they did prosecute him over Deep Throat. Glad he got off. (double meaning not intended!)

Maybe I'll tune in then. (LOL).

I have. Yeah, would make a good double bill. IF the Incident was shown last. Really nasty film.

Am not sure he even had any lines. I dont remember. Wasnt in the film too long.

No, Was discussing a crime show. One of the nuts sent a letter to Obama to intervene on a property dispute!

Yeah, its possible that was another one of his delusions.......

Have seen enough Kong films........

Thanks. Think I'll skip this one.

What is on this wknd?

Since Backlot is kaput, I assume there won't be any backlot choices? (or chosen for them to choose?)

Probably Paul Henreid then. I doubt it would be JOAN BENNETT! (LOL).

UGH. Another wasted month (SOTM) Cheap for TCM though, as they can show all his MGM junk cheaply....... Sorry, Joan! (Bennett) Maybe fall. I don't watch TCM much in the summer anyway.... Noir Alley looks good at least. Some films I haven't seen and a few I would like to see again.

Yeah, you're probably right. Remakes of action type films usually are.

Did you catch FTN last night??? What a nutcase! Scary there are people like him around. LMREO over the letter to Obama!

I don't remember The Laughing Policeman. I wonder how the remake of Pelham compares to the original?

I remember him now.

As well as the 2 films she did with Cary Grant: Wedding Present and Big Brown Eyes. Am sure there are others. (Paramount).

LOL. Wasn't this after he dried out and found religion?
