arpirose Posted April 9, 2019 Here is a lady who deserves recognition. She was a wonderful dramatic and comedic actress. Her problem is that she was not an MGM Star. What a shame to ignore such talent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, one of the reasons TCM doesn't feature Colbert more often is that she in the 30s and 40s she made films mostly for Paramount and not many for the studios that fall under the so called Turner library of films (WB, RKO and MGM). Sadly this is true for many actors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a shame to ignore such talent. She did make a few films at MGM, however. Things like BOOM TOWN; IT'S A WONDERFUL WORLD and THE SECRET HEART. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
