Were pearls out of fashion and I missed it? we are simpatico on Jlo.

No, all I’ve seen is LADY SINGS THE BLUES (1972) and read the “autobiography “ Holiday “cowrote” with William Duffy, but it’s my understanding neither is terribly accurate.

THANK YOU! I might even check it out myself, but as a BIG LADY DAY FAN, I don't think she or her story can really be truly captured by anyone.

there's a movie coming out called THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY (on HULU? NETFLIX?) don't know if it's any good, but it might interest you.

YES!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! That is the exact image I wanted to post!!!

I REALLY WISH I could post that picture, because the resemblance is uncanny now that I see it.

Methinks I also detect a touch of ROBERT BLAKE in YOUNG PHIL SPECTOR, or maybe I’m just free associating. also, Sadly I am on my phone and cannot post a picture but he sort of also kind of resembles UNCLE FESTER in ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES after Joan Cusack makes him get that Elton John hair transplant.

EW!! EW!!! EEEEW!!! (and thank you. ) I have always been quite curious to see AFFAIRS OF CELLINI (1934) For which Frank Morgan earned a best actor nomination even though it is my understanding he has a supporting role (This was two years before they establish the supporting category.) I seem to recall hearing he plays a Lothario in that one as well.

Yeah, I can see it!

Fascinating! Thank you! That’s really pretty wild, The suggestion that any woman would pass over George Brent in his prime for Frank Morgan!!!!! (I know we all like to kid George, but in the early 30s he was a really good looking guy)

I was surprised, with everything going on in the world right now (1/19/21) this is actually the lead story on slate.com: https://slate.com/culture/2021/01/phil-spector-dead-murderer-producer-wall-of-sound.html

I remember reading an article at the time that mentioned he was doing this as a way to try to bolster his insanity defense. In which case, I gotta say... (Personally, I would’ve loved to have seen Phil as Tina Turner circa her WHAT’S LOVE? period)

“I met him on a Monday and his name was PHIL...” OH DO RUN GIRL, OH DO RUN!!! RUN!!!!!
