Does this Peter Allen have a CD out to buy?
I abs. love that song.
-
Does anyone know who sings the song, "Everything Old is New Again"? It's in the 70s movie All that Jazz with Ann Reinking.

Good point, kimbo, I never thought of that part before...and yes, I was referring to the "nomination" part of their records, not the "award" part. But thanks for the clarification just the same.
As for other topics...
~Did you know that Gene Kelly (from the book: A Life of Dance and Dreams) once complained that Judy Garland smelled of formeldehyde during their number "You, Wonderful, You" in Summerstock. He later went on to check with her psychiatrist in Boston and it turned out it was paraldehyde, "a drug used to to bring drunkards out of their comas or delerium tremens."
Interesting, isn't it?

In regards to my acting, I do not consider myself a Method Actor, nor am I training to be. I am learning various styles, techniques, etc (Stanislavsky for one) and want to be a professional actress someday. Like Lucille Ball or Judy Garland (without the drugs). My goal is to beat Katharine Hepburn's Oscar record, but since Merly Streep beat her to it, my plan is to now beat Meryl. Wish me a thousand broken legs.

I haven't gotten that far yet but I will let you know as soon as I finish the sentence.

Let's talk about...Judy Garland, June Allyson, Katharine Hepburn. Feel free to add co-stars (i.e. Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, Dick Powell, Vincent Minelli, Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant, etc.) and their films. But please do not be brutal , harsh, mean, expository, or cruel. I am a young girl taking on theatre at BSC and greatly admire these women/men and their lives.
Talk about their lives, deaths, films, heartbreaks/ heartthrobs, awards, kids, etc, etc, ANYTHING! I am always looking for new information on them.
And to start things off...I found a book on Gene Kelly called A Life of Dance and Dreams and am loving it.

It looks like the two of you (i.e. antarexpurgated and leo) need a board of your own.
I've no interest in interfering and sorry if I had.
Until next time, TTFN!

You will not get anyone to listen to you by using that language, senor Leo. Dove soap can fit your mouth soooooooo perfectly if you keep it up...
-
I must say, TCMprogrammer, that I am rather enjoying this Turner "Classic"? thread evolve. I mean, wee're talking about Silent films now. Wow. At first, I was a little scared of what my opinion would bring out in ppl. but, as it turns out, now I have become more open-minded and definitely more thankful. So, thanks to you and to TCM.
I will now stop kissing ****.
-
What? ...What? What are you saying, you dislike silent films, Leo? What? Sorry, I can't hear you, the SILENT FILMS are too loud! Get a grip, bud.
-
I agree with you on this one against Leo; It's not like you can hear the silent films being aired for Christ's sake...My advice to Leo? GET A GRIP!

Wouldn't it be funny if TCM really had an actual grocery/retail store, just like the ad we all see on TCM, complete with all of the "Vintage Hollywood" wines and the "TV Trivia" toothpastes? I mean, I Love Lucy has its own store; why not TCM? You would literally have to *peel* from the walls to get me out of there!

Is Faye Dunawaye still around? The ending of that Bonnie and Clyde movie *scared* me.
-
Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh wait a minute, that's Elvis. Never mind.
-
Gee...that's a lot of info you just gave to me...thanks. I appreciate it.

Thank you. May I ask how you know?
-
I loved the parts in the Reformer/Redhead where June Allyson's and Dick Powell's characaters kissed, and the monkey took off several times with the milk/cookies.etc. And they pulled away from the kiss and she asks," Would you like any more?" And he says, " I can't drink another drop." Ooooh. So sweet!
-
If anyone does not mind my asking, exactly how old is Robert Osblourne and how did he get the *amazingly wonderful* job of introducing TCM movies? I really look forward to his intros. What will happen when he retires?
-
I hope my apologies are accepted. TCMprogrammer, your definition has made it so much clearer to me. It is not that " I do not like" the newer movies being shown, I was just getting worried that the greatest film stars of all time like-Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Judy Garland, June Allyson, James Stewart, John Wayne, Van Johnson-were getting suddenly, unconsciously pushed away. Keep history alive, please, and show all of the films that you possibly can for one actor-no matter what the year!- because my blank tape is always ready! Thank you!
-
Thanks. I appreciate it. I had no intention of hurting TCM movie lover's feelings (like myself). Even Robert Osbourne would be upset with me!
Yikes!

I don't know why Dick Powell wasn't included in the Summer Under the Stars package. He was one hell of a good actor...and one hell of a cute man...and one hell of a lucky guy to be married to June Allyson...who also wasn't included in the deal...and what about Judy Garland or Mickey Rooney?
Oh well, too many stars in the heavens, I guess.
