Miles-- I saw that movie first-run at the Orpheum--they were all West Point cadets at the Mardi Gras. I loved the technicolor--I think it was Edmund Goulding's (one of Bette's directors among others) last film. Also had a couple of Tommy Sands' records--they weren't bad.

I heard on the car radio that your Funkadelic (sp) idol was during a show in Kansas. Suppose to be some kind a Funk revival--I not a fan--George somebody or other. I've heard you talk about him. Had you heard about this on the East Coast?

This guy wrote big-time for the movies, in fact one the Oscar for a movie theme--but I remember him best for the Broadway showstoppers he wrote for the Broadway Divas.
Si vous voulez--give us a some of both.

And Astaire danced with the lovely Audrey Hepburn in *Funny Face*.

"In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you."

Robert Young didn't dance or sang but co-starred in the musical *Lady Be Good* with Eleanor Powell.

This very unusual producer/director started in Hollywood, then went to Broadway, but ended up, quite the success story in the Hollywood of the 40's and 50's. He also acted in both venues.
Among his films is a 40's classic, which ranks on the AFI top 10 list for film mysteries.
In later years, the public was surprised to find he had a hot romantic life with several famous showbiz ladies, which included a love child, despite his marriage and his rather unconventional appearance and personality.

Robert Cummings tried to woo Margaret Sullavan in *So Red the Rose*.

Metz--glad to see you back. It's not the same without you.

I was just thinking about her today--seems she lives in Florida, I believe.
Did you know that Paul Douglas was the original trashman in the Broadway version of "Born Yesterday"?
& Lana's turn is next.

Shirley Temple was the perfect teenager in *The Bachelor & the Bobbysoxer* with Charles Coburn.

Did anybody else see Graham Nash and David Crosby on Jimmy Fallon last night? Nash looked great and still played a mean guitar--the 2 of them have just released a new CD.

Thanx.
This fine character actress made a career, ranging from being sexy middle-aged ladies to distinguised older-upper class society matrons.
She supported both Crawford and Davis in two of their iconiclastic movies. She even appeared in one of Hitch's Hollywood masterpieces. But her most famous role was as a secretary in a mystery-noir classic.
Go for her and the names of all her movies hinted at above, if you feel daring.
-
Yes they did. I just loved Judy in "Bell Are Ringing"--she's was a genius talent.
Lana it's your turn!

Barbara Stanwyck was in *Titanic* with Clifton Webb.

Garbo was in *Two-Faced Woman* with Melvyn Douglas.

What thrills me about Mr. Osborne is that he actually knew the stars, was even friends and confident with a number of them. He is one in a million and we are very lucky to have him.
