  2. Fi, The Supremes were pushed by Motown, not because they were the best singers, but because they were the best choices to front Motown to White America. These girls had to look, act and talk in a certain way to get Motown on "The Ed Sullivan Show", to The Copa in Vegas and into the hearts of the guys at Yale. Eli, Eli--The Supremes were the first Motown Act to break in their act at New Haven.

  3. Hooray for Hollywood!

     

    next: These two guys were MGM executives who didn't spend a lot of time worrying about scripts or story ideas. Their main jobs were covering-up any serious scandal--we're talking about felonies such as, murder or vehicular homicide here--that may have involved a major Metro star.

     

    Word was they knew where the bodies were buried and who really had committed the deed.

  4. Truth of the matter is that I spent much of the summer reading a bio on Peter Lawford. I should have have remembered "Phoebe". But what I did remember was that he appeared in a "Lassie" movie and hated the dog very much.--Seems he didn't care that much for Asta either.

     

    Next: Lucy in Hollywood--she breaks into this star's house and pretends to be a bear rug. Shouldn't be too hard.

  5. I've watched *Heaven Can Wait* many times and it always makes me cry.

     

    *Ball Of Fire*--saw it once last month--so boring, had a hard time getting through it. But Allen Jenkins was very funny--thought the old codgers were boring and dated. The gangster angle was a bit cliched too. But, of course, the 2 Movie Stars shined throughout.

  6. "It Only Happens When I Dance With You"--that was Astaire and Ann Miller's song and dance in *Easter Parade*. She was his dance partner when the movie opens. She goes off on her own--and they do another dance for old time sake at the top of the Wintergarden.
