Marion Davies was a write-in candidate for best actress for PEG O' MY HEART. The next year, Bette Davis was a write-in candidate for OF HUMAN BONDAGE. The year after that Hal Mohr won an Oscar for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM as a write-in. The Academy banned write-ins after that!

I'm still waiting.

Who cares about anything printed in the right-winger rag Federalist? Anything based on "culture, politics, and religion" is nothing but fascist spew.

MARION DAVIES' birthday today (January 3, 1897) and no birthday salute from TCM!

I read the first line...... NEXT

The stench known as CATS is now set for a $100M loss for Universal, making it one of the biggest bombs of all time. Variety ran a report this weekend stating the film did not recover over the xmas holiday as was hoped. Even adjusting for inflation, few films in history have even lost this much money.

Open a new window. Open a new door. Travel a new highway that's never been tried before.... words to live by indeed.

Broadway star composer/lyricist of MAME, HELLO DOLLY, and LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. He was 88.
