    BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING

    WITH SIX YOU GET EGGROLL

    TAKE HER, SHE'S MINE(you implied)

     

    I hope I didn't repeat...

  2. This is not a "cliche" line, per se, but I think it is priceless. I remember it coming up

    as one of Bette Davis' lines. In the "The Cabin in the Cotton", she is flirting with

    the insipid R. BarthelMESS, and she says "I'd like to kiss you, but I just washed

    my hair". I love that line. With her blonde hair and big, gorgeous eyes, great!

  3. I agree with everything that is said here. Too bad. I like Glenn Ford.

    Diana Lynn looked like she had dressed up in "big girl" clothes. I kept thinking

    about her roles in "Miracle/Morgan's Creek" and "Major & Minor". She played

    a snotty young woman and it freaked me out seeing her try to be SEXY! :(

    I never did figure out the antiquity. By the end, I didn't care.

  4. Z - EFRIM ZIMBALIST, JR.

     

    They(you know "they", whoever "they" are") tackily dubbed him the Jewish

    Cary Grant. :(

     

    I, personally, liked him. Unfortunately, the movie parts he was given were not

    that great.

     

    He,however, found his "calling" in television series: F.B.I and 77 SUNSET STRIP

  5. YAY!! Thanks for this info. I hope it makes it's way to our town. This musical holds

    a special place in my heart. I was in a high school production of "Brigadoon" in my

    Senior year. We had a large class and we were able to pull off a grand scale

    production. We had so much fun and had sold out audiences. (Thanks Moms &

    Dads & relatives :)

  6. R - GINGER ROGERS

     

    As she said, she did everything Fred Astaire did, only in high heels & backwards. Loved those

    movies.

     

    Also, her non-dancing roles such as "Kitty Foyle", "Bachelor Mother", "Stage Door"

    (a little dancing), "Tender Comrade", "Magnificent Doll", "Once Upon A Honeymoon"

  7. In regard to the info about J. Anderson in the 50s, I have a recording of a dramatic

    "reading" of "John Brown's Body" by Stephen Vincent Benet.(rec. 4/7/1953)

    "First performance of JB'sB was in New York on Feb. 14, l953. Hailed by critics

    as "a piece of vivid theatre", "a stirring and impressive event", and "a new-old magic

    restored to the theatre".

    The production was directed by Charles Laughton.

    The three actors were: Tyrone Power, Raymond Massey, & JUDITH ANDERSON.

     

    I received the recording as a gift and I consider it one of my treasured possessions.

     

    The actors voiced different parts. " J Anderson represented the troubled Southern

    belle, Sally Dupre, the lovely girl of the wilderness Melora Vilas, and proud Southern

    aristocrat, Mary Lou Wingate."

    Obviously, these actors were chosen for their voice quality but also for their

    acting ability.

    I just wanted to share this because as soon as I saw J. Anderson's "spotlight",

    I thought about this.

  8. You give us hard choices, Triple... However, if I had to choose, I would say

    "Mrs. Skeffington".

    "Now, Voyager" is excellent. The great Gladys Cooper!

     

    And, of course, Claude Raines, is beyond compare in everything he does.

    I liked him a teensy bit better in Mrs. S. Meatier roll, I guess.
