    (...btw...one day you should visit both Sedona and the Grand Canyon...both are majestic)

    Yes, Yes I should!

    EDIT: In 2017, nearly 60,000 California residents moved to Arizona, according to that year’s Census Bureau data.

    I think Bette Davis was really overrated. She wasn't a good actress and was a bit homely. As for comedians, I think Joe E. Brown was just annoying with that odd laugh of his. 

    She did have those "Betty Davis Eyes."

    Michael,

    You need to check the Month Highlights page. The Temple birthday tribute and the Noir Alley stuff is mentioned there, among other things:

    Yes, that is more than one place I noticed Shirley's BD. No mention except for the regular Noir Alley, not the block of daytime Noir movies. Oh well.

    What do you mean? How do you expect them to mention it?

    It was only mentioned here, in the Noir Alley thread. I suppose TCM does not spotlight their daytime events. Since themes seem to be such a big deal, why do something special and not say so?

    There is mention of the Shirley Temple birthday event on 4/23.

    Not only that, but I DON'T pay a fee of any kind to get TCM on my cable service.  It's always been part of the "basic" package.  But too, I've no interest in this "backlot" thing.

    Jealous! I pay for a Preferred package. 

  6. A very good post fxreyman. So your Uber passengers are not put off by the patch? I couldn't resist. It is hilarious, in a sad way, when people don't know older movies.

    Your Robin Hood comment is classic. I can hear it now. "Why would I watch a movie with dead people in it?"

    I am not well educated in movies, but seem to know what I like. Same goes for music. Just ask JamesJazzGuitar what real music is. I'm a country music fan, a classic country music fan. Just like movies on TCM, the newer music gets, the more selective I am. Many of the best artists in music and film are no longer with us.

    Some young people have no clue how to relate with older films. I am 60+ and have knowledge, maybe not personal, but the words from parents and grandparents, who explained their past.

    I just searched Golden Age of Hollywood.

    I did not expect something so involved. Wow!

  7. I assumed Georgette's voice was made up. Then I saw her do an interview. I loved her voice. She was a bit smarter than her hubby Ted. They were both a French fry short of a happy meal, but Georgette was so much fun.

    It is sad when an outside force prevents quality of life.

    At near 62, it gets spooky.
