The makeup artists did a similar thing to Donna Reed's eyebrows when it called for her character to be a frumpy spinster in It's a Wonderful Life's alternate universe segment...
-
Now here's a pair of eyebrows that could've also easily gotten me into a life of crime and just as they did a certain young Swede back in 1946...
-
Oh. I dunno, RJ. I've always thought I "could'a been a contender" in these regards if only: (1) My parents or a close relative had been in The Biz. YOU know, like say if my surname had been "Fonda" or maybe "Douglas" or maybe...well, you get the idea here, I'm sure. (2) I had liked my high school Drama teacher, and who once told me I was pretty darn good up there on the boards. (3) Wasn't so damn good looking, and because I was BORN to play character roles, ya know! LOL Oh yeah, and... (4) Wasn't so inclinded to laugh at my own jokes. (...I hear directors absolutely HATE IT when their actors keep breaking into laughter during takes)
-
Sorry Mr, G, but this ain't gonna happen. Nope, and because Irwin Allen died before he even got this project to the storyboard phase. (...NOT to mention that NOBODY trusted him anymore with money after The Swarm bombed at the boxoffice)
-
And to which I say, Thank god! Nope, never cared much for young Audrey's overdone eyebrows there. They almost remind me of a younger Groucho's greasepainted mustache. Nope, I've always thought Audrey hit the peak of her beauty a little later on and after she had those babies toned down a bit...like here...
-
Slayton, you've forgot here to mention one the biggest stars during the early sound era, and who still sported those silent film era style eyebrows that didn't arch up at all. Kay Francis
-
I'll let Andy Rooney here answer this for me... "Not that I can recall, anyway!"
-
Thanks! And be sure to tell Harry what I said above savin' all that moolah and all those lives in the long run. Okay, and now where were we here? OH yeah..."Interesting Pictures". (...NOW I remember!) LOL
-
Well, if you ever DO get to Harry, do me a favor and tell him it might be a good idea to reconsider his ignoring Ho Chi Minh's letter that he sent to him regarding his country's postwar independence from France. (...it would save oodles of money and lives in the long run, ya know)
-
Yeah, it kind'a does, doesn't it...although Rod Taylor might disagree. Back in the day a buddy of mine had a VW-powered trike that looked a lot like that one, although not quite as clean as that one. (...that sucker would pull wheelies without any bother at all)
-
Ah! Thanks. This is the first I've heard of this new film. Looks like it might be pretty good. (...and hey, it's even got Sean Penn jumpin' a Triumph over some stuff in it!)
-
And btw here, folks. AND speakin' of Christmas movies here...although in this case, not necessarily one with religious overtones...well, if you don't count the angel in it anyway... In the TCM's December Showings filler, I spotted a short bit of It's a Wonderful Life in it. And so my question here is: Is TCM actually showing George Bailey's life story this year? (...uncut and commercial free?)

Tom Holland to play Fred Astaire in upcoming biopic
Dargo replied to SweetSue's topic in General Discussions
Yeah, and not only THAT, but evidently ANOTHER of Tom Holland's problems is people misspellin' his last name all the time! That never helps an actor's bottom line either, ya know. (...gee, whatever happened to "I don't care what they say about me, as long as they spell my name right"??? LOL -
Which current film are you speaking of here, NS? You don't mean Tarantino's last one, Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, do ya? Yep, I saw that one when it first hit the big screen, and I do remember while the lead characters are driving around the streets of L.A., their car radio is tuned to and you hear the "Boss Jocks" of the old KHJ Top 40 radio station during those scenes, However, I don't seem to remember a Ralph Williams TV commercial being overheard in the background in any other scenes, although I might have forgotten this. (...btw...I used to do a great Ralph Williams impression, myself...all ya had to do was talk like you were suffering from jockjaw, ya know)
-
Really? The "meh George Maharis", ya say? Funny, but I always thought Mararis here was a pretty darn handsome guy, anyway... So, what did ya always think of the guy's looks that replaced Maharis on Route 66? You know, Tom Corbett! Oh wait! "TOM Corbett" was that Space Cadet guy on TV back in the '50s, huh. Sorry. I meant of course GLENN Corbett here... (...boy, we've sure gotten off the ol' Film Noir thing here, now haven't we?!) LOL

Tom Holland to play Fred Astaire in upcoming biopic
Dargo replied to SweetSue's topic in General Discussions
Now see, THIS is the problem with marrying a former jockey! They tend to get on their, ahem, "high horse" about such things. Sorry, I just couldn't resist this one. I know I know, should've tried harder, huh. (...interesting read up there filmnoirguy...thanks...didn't know any of that) -
So, does Curtiz recount or have his own version of the infamous "Bring on the empty horses" incident, Tom??? (...I dunno, but I sure wouldn't want to have been Curtiz's proofreader for that book of his, anyway!)

Tom Holland to play Fred Astaire in upcoming biopic
Dargo replied to SweetSue's topic in General Discussions
So, lemme guess here... Also in talks to portray Hermes Pan is Hugh Jackman, and as Ginger Rogers...Lady Gaga. (...hey, put that little mole on her chin, and I think she could pass for Ginger, don't ya think?!) -
And then confirmed for sure when they'll show 2015's Spotlight, perhaps Roy? (...well, they ARE showin' a few more recent movies lately, ya know) LOL
-
Btw here KR, and re my new and latest discovery of the "worst studio era actor of all time" here and thus replacing George Raft and James Craig who've previously held that title.. Cr ...sorry, but I don't see his resemblance to Anthony George here... ...and who always reminded me of George Maharis.
-
Yeah, probably true, KR. However, because that North guy ruined this movie with his gawdawful acting, this was probably why it failed at the boxoffice!!! LOL (...okay okay...I'll get off the poor guy's case here...for now anyway)
-
LOL No one ever steals a movie away from the great Claude Rains, Tom.
