Excellent excellent point. Fred scared me once. I know better than to go to that site.

I loved the black widow look of Talia Shire in this movie.
I loved the silent scream of Al Pacino's Michael when his daughter is shot. "Daddy??"
My God did the chickens come home to roost.
The Godfather...quite a family epic. Kudoes Coppola. Kudoes!!

Please, just one question: Wouldn't you say Widmark was psychopathic in "KISS OF DEATH"? He was a pickpocket in "PICK-UP ON SOUTH STREET."
Would you reconsider?

Whoa Mamie. Whoa Ziggey.

The guy was still lucky to sit close to her, hold her in his arms, and have her look deep into his eyes...until the director said cut.
What's a little cotton...
-
Frank, ButterScotch...will you two ever kiss and make up over this issue of "Pride and Prejudice"???
-
Mickey, Frank, Artie (among others...) how *LUCKY* were they???
I don't believe Ava could take a bad picture. There is something about her...

You've made quite a collection there, Mr. Grimes. Nice.
Playing a mom in the movies was most likely thought as to be the death of an actress' career; to be seen as a mother precluded one from being seen as sexually viable. (I mean, who wants to see their mother as sexy, right?)
Looking at Jessie Royce Landis brings me to mind of today's tv mom Holland Taylor who has a quip and a martini in her hand while meting out maternal advice.
My choice for Mom: I have to go with Donna Reed. She's imbedded in my mind since I was a kid. Yes, Phylicia Rashad looks more like me...and June Cleaver was great too...but I'd have to go with Donna Reed.
SCSU...shut yo' mouth!

Triple H...look at the choices that folks put down for Machiavellian and hopefully that will give you an idea of the type of actor that fits the bill.
-
Errol Flynn, of course ;-) Dashing.
-
ccbaxter...I am jealous that I didn't put down your wonderful answers. Good choices.
And again...GREAT question, Poinciana.
-
Please 'splain, Ricky.

Aaaaah! Thank you SCSU. That makes up for the shocking picture Fred posted. I know we can't stay young forever. There is no fountain of youth. Thank goodness for photographs and memory.
-
LOL! ;-)
I saw a young man on the "J" train last week (NYC) who looked like a very young Al Pacino. Even sat there like Michael Corleone did in his last shot of "Godfather II." I shamelessly stared...and told him before I disembarked the train, that he looked like Pacino. His response? "Thank you. I've never seen 'Godfather II'. I have to check it out." YIKES!! Youth is wasted on the young.

You bet your bippy that's the amazing Eve Arden.
-
Dude! Ay yi yi!!!
(Though I loved Jamie Lee baaaad!)
-
Dude, you get the whole enchilada. Good make-up sex. Saaay, was Pacino in "Guys & Dolls"???
-
Nice, nice Poinciana.
Well...my picks would be:
Machiavellian: BETTE DAVIS in "The Little Foxes" or JOAN CRAWFORD in "Queen Bee" or GEORGE SANDERS in A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
Narcissistic: BETTE DAVIS in "Mr. Skeffington" or the beautiful GENE TIERNEY in "Leave Her to Heaven." Beware!
Psychopathic: ROBERT MITCHUM in "Cape Fear" or ROBERT RYAN in S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G.

I took a peek-a-boo at the site you cited. Actually, it wasn't quite a peek-a-boo...it was more like a gaze...a stare... and a couple of sighs.
You certainly know how to raise the blood pressure.

My...my...my...my! My.
Glorious Gloria Grahame. Triple G.
-
Okay...that's a good start to make amends. We'll add jelly to your bread and water, though you might have a point there in his later work. ;-)
-
Next time I'm on 14th Street, I'll look and get back to you. Just know this: NO more May's or S.Klein's.

CHARISSE Cyd -- She had the legs of the century. Dancer partnered with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. One of the beauties of the cinema.
"Suffered through a manage a trois, complete with a murder scandal." Joan Bennett... not a bad way to be remembered.
Asian Images in Film
in Hot Topics

I think playing "The Pennsylvania Polka" would've underscored the Asian theme trailer quite nicely. A good mash-up.
It'd be great if we were to see Gong Li, Ziyi Zhang, Michelle Yeoh or one of the most beautiful women in the world, Joan Chen, speak on the Asian Image in Films. What do these younger folks think of Sessue Hayakawa, Keye Luke, Victor Sen Yung or the great *(and beautiful)* Anna Mae Wong and how Asians were portrayed by Hollywood. Boy, it wasn't pretty.
