I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book that gives information (minutia if you will) on classic movie stars. I realize no one book could cover ALL of the wonderful actors of the past; but is there one (or more) that covers many? Thanks! ~*~ SteLLa ~*~

Gary Cooper!! Man doesn't even have to open up his mouth for me to drool. Heard a few rumors about him too....hehehe. Louis Jourdan ~ Man he was great in The Heiress! Couldn't keep my eyes off him

Bummer...was hoping to play. Guess I'll check later. Whaaahhh!!!

Thanks for the welcome stlgal!! So glad to be here! Anyway, it's not White Heat so here's another clue.... Hint#3: Man gives up all for the woman he loves....

Hmmm....I think the first movie I ever saw in a movie theater was Fantasia when I was around three years old. I don't remember much besides being fascinated by how magical it was. Now, as far as the classics go....my mother was the one who passed her love of them to me. Before VCR's came out she would wake me up in the middle of the night with a hot cup of tea or cocoa to watch movies such as The Uninvited, Rebecca, The Enchanted Cottage, Portrait of Jennie and MANY others. I will never forget those special times with my mom. Now, as a mother myself I'm trying to pass along the love of the classics to my 3 sons. Not an easy task with all of the movies out today that leave nothing to the imagination. My 11yr. old (middle son) is showing signs of appreciating classic movies. We watched Arsenic and Old Lace and he just LOVED it. Kept yellin' "CHARGE" and crackin' up...lol. He also loved Harvey and Ghost Breakers starring Bob Hope. It makes me soooo happy to see my kids enjoying movies that most kids their age would never see (or appreciate). Hey, I'm only 32 for that matter and most of my friends my age know nothing of the classics either! On another note.....someone had mentioned Netflix for renting classic DVD's. I tried it out this summer during my recovery period from a herniated disk (my neck) surgery and really enjoyed the service. They had almost all of the classics I looked for, and they sent them out ASAP. No late fees....you can keep the movie as long as you want. Liked it so much I'm still using the service. Well....just signed up to this forum yesterday and I'm soooo thrilled to have found it. So nice to meet others who enjoy the classics as much as I do!!

Time for another hint. #2: Whole country in terror

Thanks so much for the welcome classicsfan! It's just great to find a place where others enjoy the classics & TCM as much as I do. Oh, btw, love your Fudd impression
