Lafitte, keep BOTH eyes out for Gloria. You've got to take ALL of her in!
-
Look at me, I'm directing...look at my pans, my slo-motions shots. How 'bout I dissolved into a sunset that was really a man bursting into flames.
"Sundowners" "A Man for All Seasons" "The Nun's Story" "Okklahoma" "From Here to Eternity" and the iconic: "HIGH NOON."
Let's not let Zinneman go unnoticed and un-remembered. He wasn't flashy or showy. He got out of the way and got the story across; like a good director.

No doubt Virginia was one of the hotties of the 1940's and apparently, tells it like it is. LOVED her in "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "White Heat." SHE was the white heat, I'd say.
I still love Gary, Grace and Barbara in spite of Ginny's opinions. And Stanwyck's talent was unparalleled.

YO RANDY: "May I add a few ladies that are still with us that i haven't seen on these lists yet?? The beautiful Elaine Stewart, beautiful Mamie Van Doren, Lita Baron (Mrs. Rory Calhoun), Myrna Dell, Rosemarie Bowe (Mrs. Robert Stack), Sarita Montiel, Mitzi Gaynor, Taina Elg, Sophia Loren, Margaret O'Brien, beautiful Anita Ekberg, Gloria DeHaven, and the great Elizabeth Taylor."
Fred C. Dobbs sent us a picture of Anita Ekberg today. And it was kind of frightening. But if TCM does a "Private Screening: INTERNATIONAL" would love to see her and Sophia and Gina and Luciana on there.

Poor baby. I saw their daughter at a Q & A at the Apple Store in SoHo (NYC) for a short movie she contributed to the TriBeCa Film Festival. Gosh, she was gorgeous. And it was really like looking at Ingrid Bergman again.
-
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!! I'm no Bo Derek, Linda Evans or Ursula Andress...but hey now. How YOU doin'?????
-
Well, in any event you can see these two great stars reunite thirty years after "Night Nurse." I wonder how that was; they were both starting out thirty years ago or so and now...
-
Nando: "This is a truly GREAT idea, CineMaven! According to my friend, Marsha has an INCREDIBLE memory (she can recall the exact color of a dress she wore for one scene in a black and white movie fifty years ago!), so can you imagine how much insight and detail she could bring to an interview with Robert Osborne?!"
I'd say she'd be a perfect candidate. Let us know what her response would be if your friend presents her with the idea. Guess he would have to get in touch with TCM. I'm sure they'd love it!
-
Jack: "Last night, while battling insomnia, I thought of Selznick and Jennifer Jones..."
Well I'm wide awake now and thinking of Douglas Sirk with Rock Hudson. Quite a team, I'd say. BTW, didja ever get to sleep?? Dreaming of Jennifer Jones, perhaps.
-
Private Screenings did do an interview with the great James Garner. It was wonderful seeing as he was a star long before his detective tv show.
Doris Day, Eva Marie Saint, Julie Andrews, Audrey Hepburn...he was one lucky actor.
Yes, I remember you mentioning Ernest Borgnine before. Now shout it from the skyscrapers until you knock some sense into TCM. That'd be an excellent choice and I'm sure Borgnine would welcome the attention.
How one could man play FATSO and MARTY is quite a testimony!! Wake up TCM!
-
Thanxxx Cashette for letting me know when this film will be repeated.
Mr. Pressman, we might be contemporaries becuz I have a vague memory of this film coming on late at night on channel two (NYC).
I must program my vcr for this one.
Yeah...I still use a VCR!

Hi Nando: "Actually, a friend of mine is friends with Marsha and gave me the 'inside scoop'...and she is, in real life, every bit as lovely, elegant, kind, and classy as always....and still so beautiful at 94..."
Hold on! YOU have a friend who is a friend of Marsha Hunt's? OMG. Your friend should ask her if she'd be willing to be interviewed by Robert Osborne and their Private Screenings series. Fans would LOVE to see her. It'd be a big ratings grabber like the interview of Betty Hutton. Ms. Hunt always seemed so graceful. She should be memorialized on that show. Let's not let an opportunity get by. I loved her in "The Human Comedy" and "Pride & Prejudice" and "Cry Havoc."
Gregory1965: "...Long before there was an IMDB I've kept my own database of actresses which is where I pulled this info from..."
Tell us about your database.
I used to have several binders full of great lines from movies. Then my Mom cleaned my room (I'm a messy packrat) and threw a lot of my movie memorabilia away in, what I call, "The Big Sweep of 1967."
But hell, that was 40 years ago. I've almost forgiven her.

Lafitte...don't mess up the Gloria Grahame flow with talk of Will Rogers. It's very jarring and ruins the fantasy.
A couple of pages back, someone kindly consolidated a list of Grahame films scheduled for TCM 3/11: "The Cobweb" 3/22: "Crossfire" 3/27: "The Greatest Show on Earth" 3/28: "A Woman's Secret"[/u] 4/8: "Merton of the Movies" 5/11: "It Happened in Brooklyn" and 5/28: "Not As A Stranger."
You'll have to play catch-up...but I can think of worse things than looking for a slew of Gloria Grahame's films to watch in one fell swoop. You'll get weak in the knees.

#1: DRAMATIC ACTOR:
Laurence Olivier
Spencer Tracy
Can't get anymore dramatic than these two.
ILRM: You sure spend a lot of time counting up our crazy votes. Got a 9-to-5?
-
Miss Goddess, molo, lzcutter...your choice of actress and director are spot on.
Skimpole: "While one can think of great director/actor relationship with no real erotic current (Ford/Wayne, Scorsese/De Niro, Truffaut/Leaud, Kurosawa/Mifune).."
I wouldn't be soooooo sure about that. I thought Ford & Wayne were a pretty erotic duo as was Truffaut & Leaud...in a manly way, of course. ;-) Let's not leave out Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon.
-
ILRM: "...the top ten will be decided from the second vote."
I guess I got the answer to my question, by just re-reading your initial post on this thread.
Now please...wax on about the Angelic Ingrid. You & others are sooo right. There was absolutely something 'intangible' about Ingrid Bergman that makes others pale in comparison. I'm a big big Hedy Lamarr fan. And her face is prenaturally perfection. But geez there's something about Ingrid Bergman that I can't put into words.
The other day at the Apple Store in SoHo (NYC) as part of the TriBeCa Film Festival, I waited five hours (through MAC program demonstrations and film director Tom Kalin) to see and hear a Q & A with Isabella Rossellini. Yes, she is older now (56) but she is STILL beautiful. And as the direct descendant of Ingrid Bergman...whew!!! it felt like looking at Ingrid Bergman.
-
What a great thread TikiSoo. I'm so happy to see these names. Hmmm....it looks mostly like actresses than actors. I wish TCM would make a concerted effort to get these ladies on a taped interview.
Marsha Hunt not one of the greats? Perhaps not in terms of cinema classics but a great nonetheless!

Hello Molo: "Well now I'm hurt. I thought I had it goin' on with that Lauren Hutton tooth gap, Errol Flynn like sparklin' eyes, Jennifer Jones' cheekbones, Dumbo's ears and Joan Crawford's freckles. I guess it just doesn't all come together in quite the right way."
I'm sorry but you're right. It really didn't come together in quite the right way. Send me another photo of yourself. Women are chromosomically predisposed to changing our minds often.
Frank to the G Power: "Thanks for getting me going this morning, Molo. I'm sticky with Double G now."
Well well Mr. Grimes. What a confession; a morning man, ey?
"Nag? Hardly. Yappin'? Heartily. Gable could take your flappin', but Mitch may think to slappin'. Not all men are equipped to deal with a lively gal who speaks her mind. Ya feel me?"
Yessiree...I'm feeling you. But you know...on second thought, I might be like Rhonda Fleming who didn't mind Mitchum grabbing her arm roughly. ("Out of the Past") But I know when to speak and when to be quiet. My exes can attest to that.
"Don't tell me you were on the fence before. Of all the women on this board, I thought you would understand the language Gloria Grahame spoke the most."
Dammit! You caught me! I was being a tad coy there, I guess. Yeah. I understand the language.
-
Molo & Frank: OMG!!! Those shots of Gloria in the black outfit AND the white outfit made me jump out of my seat. And I'm at work.
I'm starting to really agree with you guys...there's something about the way Gloria looks into the camera. I'm not a guy, but WHOA!!!!!
-
Hi Metsie...I was kind of kidding about Conrad Veidt...but he does look rather dashing.

ILRM: I can't believe that Elizabeth Taylor is not in the top ten. Her looks could stop traffic. And again I ask, aren't we one vote short? Wasn't there to be a vote for THE MOST beautiful...and not the top TEN most beautiful actresses. I'm just asking.
-
Are you sure you don't mean Osa Massen & Una Munson movies?? Or maybe Dawn Wells movies (MaryAnn of "Gilligan's Island.")
What the heck ARE you talking about?
This is a serious film buff message board. Go back to MySpace/FaceBook.

Hello Frankie & Molo:
I have mixed emotions right now. I thought I was being too insecure about my looks to go out with the intimidatingly good looking Tyrone Power. But after seeing the photos of you both (one of you looks suspiciously like George Bush) I want to rescind my offer of a possible Jules & Jim assignation with you.
CM:"Errol Flynn might not take "no" for an answer; (remember that statutory thing?)"
FG: "Were you planning on trying some "no's" on him?"
Well...you know on second thought...I'm just a girl who can't say no.
CM: "Message was edited by: CineMaven: (Had to cross off Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum and Hedy Lamarr off my list)."
FG: "I would have thought Mitchum with you, CM. But after a little thought, I don't think he'd show the patience with you like Gable would."
Saaay Frank, are you saying that patience would be needed with me??? Am I a nag, a nudge? Whattup wit' dat?

Lafitte: "Cinemaven, I wouldn?t give this thread another thought. I believe Nondo here just wants to give you a bad time. It?s a phony thread anyway. I wouldn't even respond. He wants to stir things up."
You have been Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot. And I thank you. You totally get me. And sir, I shall take your advice.
--Guinevere-- uh, I mean CineMaven.
