Elaine Stewart, she just passed away this year, somehow I missed that one. She was certainly very , very attractive. Its hard to believe she didn't have a bigger career, maybe she just didn't want to pursue it that much. Another redhead to consider for this list, Senta Berger. (somebody post a picture here!)

I don't think an apology is necessary, ennisdelmar2, and I hope you stay on the boards. I am a straight guy but it is not in my place or anyone elses to judge you. Several of my favorite actors , like Charles Laughton, are well known to have been gay but that doesn't diminish my opinion of them. I might also say quite a few of my favorite actors/actresses are well known to have been bi, again that is/was their personal business and I don't judge them on that either. So stay on and post what you like (a little good taste and civility is all that one can ask). If someone doesn't like the topic, they can just avoid that thread, there's enough room for everybody here.

I wonder how many movie DVDs/tapes Robert Osborne has? You can be a film buff without having a large library/collection of movies. At a rough count I have a little over 300 DVD's (some have 2 or 3 movies on a dvd). I also have a couple of hundred vhs tapes , most are my own tapings off of tv. Quite a few of the dvd's are movies that I had previously VHS recorded (Like getting CD's of record albums you already have). I often wonder, "why did I buy all of this stuff?" Obviously most are movies (or TV shows) that I like, but how often do I watch them all? I could live another 30 years and probably some of those will never be played again. But I have them, just in case they never get shown on tv again, right? I have really cut back on my purchases as of late, money is part of the reason, space is another. . Also it just seems senseless to me to keep adding to my collection, so I am now a lot more selective when buying stuff. Someday someone's going to have a nice auction getting rid of all of this.

Is that 2 hrs of movie and 3 hrs of commercial?

Zucco, George

Ziegfeld, Florenz -- Dec SOTM William Powell in *The Great Ziegfeld*

Patricia Neal was in *A Face In The Crowd* with Lee Remick

Hamradio, about your reference to James Buchanan, the 15th U S President. I should note that as a lifelong Pennsylvanian I only recently took a tour of the Buchanan home in Lancaster Pa. Like many people I have traveled great distances to see places while not seeing many sites right in my own backyard. Anyway the official line from the local historical site is similar to the wiki entry. Buchanan was very deeply affected by the death of his fiancee and could not get too romantically attached to another woman. So he stayed a bachelor. His close relationships with several male friends, including sharing residence with some, leads to the speculation of Buchanan's sexual tendencies. Nothing definite was ever established about that. So its all speculation.

We all have long given up trying to figure out the story. Bogart's performance and the witty lines are what make this flick ( and the gals too, Dorothy Malone especially).

Pick three or four Vic Morrow films and put them in the suggest a movie forum. Unlike some people who constantly whine and complain about the TCM programming decisions I do believe the programming people do make a sincere effort to give us viewers what we want. There certainly are issues of what films are available and when, and budgets constraints for programming exist too. You may not get a block of Vic Morrow films anytime soon but then again, who knows?

Just to complicate matters further, you have to consider Rhonda Fleming. Personally, I will have to give this one a lot of thought.

One of these days I'll learn how to post pics here. On the images page for Lana Turner on the first row she is a brunette holding an ice cream cone. That was one of several pictures I printed out for my WW2 vet friend, I must have printed about 9 or 10 photos for him.

One of the reasons that Lana Turner looks so young is because she was so young. Only 16 years old when she did her first picture, and I don't think she was ever considered a "child" star. Only 19/20 and she's costarring as Clark Gable's leading lady. At the age of 25 she is doing her 25th film, *The Postman Always Rings Twice* playing a part that you might believe should be a woman in her thirties. You might say that Hollywood really aged her fast, usually the gals were around 20/21 before they started playing adult roles. I talk to a WW2 veteran on ocassion when I see him at a weekly flea market. He's a real old movie buff, so is his wife, they're both in their late eighties. When I asked him who I should look up on the net and print some pictures of he was quick to say, "Lana Turner". PS - the wife tells me that when she was 16 years old she delivered a package to a hotel room in New York and met Myrna Loy! Edited by: mrroberts on Nov 21, 2011 2:51 PM

Never thought about the 31 Days of Oscar deal. So anyone who had a birthday in February gets no birthday salute.

Not to mention the scene at the bar with Lupe Velez and Stan And Ollie.

Ingrid Bergman and Meryl Streep ? -- I better get my eyes rechecked. Ingrid's daughters bare a very strong resemblance to their mom (and kids don't always look like their parent). I think Stephanie March (Law and Order SVU) has a slight resemblance to a young Meryl Streep. And as I mentioned on another thread, Vic Morrow definitely is a ringer for Ralph Meeker.

Jane Wyman was in *Larceny, Inc* with Edward G Robinson

Bullock, Angelica (the daffy mom) -- played by Alice Brady in *My Man Godfrey*
