[who's your favorite movie star and why?]

HI buckydjb, say, how come you didn't include James Dean, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire in the runner up list ?

 

That trio ain't exactly Hollwyood chopped

livah ..er..liver (hehe) .

 

Gene Kelly 4 ever !!!

(i'm singin' in the rain ....)

[Someone cited Marilyn, but NATALIE WOOD made more flix & was slighted, agai]

Gee whiz..gosh who knew Rupert Murdoch was such a huge Marilyn fan , he practically ownes all of her movies ! *wink*

g'day mate :-)

[Poor Marilyn's turning over in her grave]

Hey TCM programming meister, thanks for the reply oh and I'm sorry for coming off so hot and bothered but Marilyn holds a special place in my heart *R.I.P NGB*

 

thing is , I do not subscribe to the Fox movie channel.

,but ... then again I don't get the Fox news channel either. coincidence? go figure. hehe .

 

 

[Poor Marilyn's turning over in her grave]

earth to TCM?!?! hello?!?!

 

The month of August happens to be 31 days long , for 31 days in a row TCM showing a daily movie-thon featuring 31 of Hollywood's golden era's hottest male and female stars.

 

Unfortunatly, sweet Marilyn Monroe is NOWHERE ( and I mean absolutely NOWHERE!?!) to be found on TCM's schdeule for the entire month of August !! this is a travesty !

 

TCM has dissed Norma Geane! how rude ! (and oh so SAD ! ) heck it's downright scandalous!!!!

 

sure, we all know Charlton Heston got the shaft too but he's a card carying member of the NRA so I don't blame 'em for ignoring him!

 

WHY was Marilyn overlooked ? sure we know this is TCM and not the Fox movie channel, BUT STILL !!

 

Eisenhower administration's era Hollywood would've been oh so boring without her great work ! her 1953-1959 work is such a 1950's staple one cannot discuss 1950's Hollywood without mentioning one or even 2 (or more) of her splendid and wonderful films.

 

I think (I think therefore i'm right!)that a Marilyn tribute on "summer under the stars" should be definitely included and it's an outrage that it's not !

 

And to add insult to injury ,given the fact that Marilyn passed away in the month of August, 42 years ago,(08/05/1962) it should've been all the more reason to honor , remember and reminisce about her and make a tribute to her.

 

I'm very dissapointed and hurt ,as are, i'm sure, millions of her present day fans and TCM subscribers.

 

who knows, maybe a Marilyn-a-thon would be part of TCM's 12 days of Christmas special (one must only hope)

shame!
