  1. What a beautiful woman, and a very underrated actress. How great she was in THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES - certainly deserved a Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

     

    I agree, myidolspencer, the popular "entertainment news" shows do not always properly acknowledge the entertainers of the past upon their deaths. In a world of 24 hour show biz news coverage, these media outlets could and should do better in paying tribute.

  2. Let's see. Sophia's been married to Carlo for 40 some years....

     

    Lynda's married to a D.C. attorney, I believe...

     

    Ursula is single? Raquel is single? Both of whom are far too sharp and classy for this guy.

     

    While you can't blame a guy for trying, his lack of common sense in demanding an unreal degree of perfection may be his problem here. But hey, I'm just a little Blonde Rabbit.

     

    BTW any young William Holdens out there, Norma, with whom you are familiar?

  3. May I give a tip of my chapeau to the epitome of on-screen working women, the great Rosalind Russell.

     

    Roz always portrayed working women as well dressed, stylish, smart, capable, a professional equal to men, and also capable of a little romance with the guys too.

     

    Hooray for Roz!!!!

  4. Blonde Rabbit hopping in here.

     

    Just cast my vote for you, darlin'. My grandfather was a grad of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln too.

     

    Must keep this all in the family.

     

    Good luck.

  5. Happy T-Day to all. BlondeRabbit here is hopping out to a brunch by the sea that day.

     

    My dad's ancestors were Pilgrims. My mom's ancestors were Native Americans. So we always grasped the meaning of the original Thanksgiving in my childhood home!

     

    Everyone please have a safe and happy feast day. And remember: GONE WITH THE WIND is on Thanksgiving night for dessert.

  6. Hi again therealfuster. Rock and roll Blonde Rabbit here.

     

    The Marcels' 1961 BLUE MOON was indeed a wild doo **** version of the classic that was a tremendous hit - and still holds up quite well today when you hear it on the oldies' stations. Sha Na Na copied it to the note, but Elvis actually recorded a slow, country blues version of BLUE MOON while signed to Sun Records in the mid'50's. Few protests about Elvis because he really wasn't well known outside of the South - till a few months later.

     

    Still like the fabulous Mel Torme version. Just sublime.

  7. therealfuster, Marlene and Hattie McDaniel would have made an unusual couple, but very little would surprise me.

     

    I did see that documentary about the "lost" I, CLAUDIUS. While I thought the Jacobi series was just brilliant, wouldn't it have been quite a show with Laughton?

  8. therealfuster, MOROCCO has two great, memorable moments also:

     

    1)Dietrich in white tails kissing the woman on the lips; and

     

    2)Dietrich taking her high heels off and following Gary Cooper's camp into the desert.

     

    There are no Dietrichs around today. Not even close. Wasn't there a quote attributed to Von Sternberg, after Marlene became an Hollywood star: "I am Marlene Dietrich." For the most part, she was her own unique creation. But von Sternberg helped her with the blueprints.

  9. Hi therealfuster.

     

    SHANGHAI EXPRESS definitely.

     

    "It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lil." Does it get any better than this? And the sublime, underrated and underutilized by Hollywood Anna May Wong.

     

    BLONDE EXPRESS is the runnerup. The voodoo/gorilla number. Wow.

     

    It's a shame there aren't real characters running around Hollywood today like von Sternberg and von Stroheim.

  10. Classic film lovers are a rare breed indeed. We are like the last of a lost species and are dependent on one another to breathe.

     

    Thanks silentfan66 for those wise words. Reading these boards is a bit like discovering part of your lost tribe after thinking there's little chance left of finding them. Then you read posts by the smart 16-year-old gingerrogers25and feel happy knowing that new members join all the time.

     

    THERE'S HOPE!
