In the 1920's, I starred in one of Broadways hottest plays.
By the early 30's, I was poised for movie stardom in a Capra classic. Unfortunately I died a few days after the premiere.
Ironically my co-star in my last film also died only 6 years later in an equally untimely death.
Everybody remembers her, but nobody knows my name.
Do You Know Me?

I think the "Upscale Luxury Customers" are definitely people who have money to burn and who buy an assortment of luxury items.
I definitely don't have money to burn, don't buy an assortment of luxury items--yet I find the money to buy a number of the items that TCM promotes--i. e. books and videos.
Perhaps--they are targeting the wrong target audience--they certainly don't know who I am.
How many of you out their are 1/4 or 1/2 a millionaire?--that target audience must be out there in the dark somewhere.

Go for Carl Wilson singing "Kokomo" instead.

To make matters worse, I was forcee (forced) to watch Rohmer as part of my French curriculum--Truffaut he ain't.

Believe or not, I just got into Sam Fuller last week.

Hitch didn't want Joel McCrea for *Foreign Correspondent*--he wanted Gary Cooper.
(Also he didn't want Bob Cummings for *Saboteur*--think he wanted Coop for that too).

I should add that the insane asylum is a prison for the criminally insane--so the young man is not only mentally ill but has also comitted a murder.

Yeah--and apparently the Producer/Director for "Mr. Ed" was also Clint Eastwood's mentor.
Mudskipper's turn--

No--but it has something to do with a credit--but not for acting.

Yes--Universal B at it's best.
Now it's Don't CMS's turn---

Larry Keating was a fine actor--but I'm referring to a guest star who, when new to the neighborhood, was on a party-line with Ed. The guest star was a big star then and is still a big star today.

This golden era horror film had lions, tigers and gorillas--yes, gorillas.

We are still looking for 3 studio heads who in a former life were
Butchers
Furriers
and Scrap Metal Dealers

I'm afraid the question was too esoteric!
Fi--you may have the floor or the thread is open!

Burt Bacharach is my favorite 60's composer--Maybe he was the best one too.
Burt wrote all those Movie themes---
Of course Hal David wrote the lyrics--
Butch Cassidy--"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head
etc.

Today Ginger Rogers is remembered, by the general public, as the woman who danced with Fred Astaire.--
Despite the Oscar--that's the main reason she was honored at the Kennedy Awards.
In all, Astaire's stardom and art far outdistanced her success, which was limited to a deacade--the '40's, so that she remains a satelllite of Astaire.
