So many strong actresses, these r just a few!! Loved Bette Davis last month. I just love TCM my favorite channel of all the hundreds I hv. I am not into this late Sunday silent night stuff though wish it was a weekday instead for that, I'm only 63 so it was before my baby boomer time. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Burt Lancaster, William Holden, and Good old Kirk Douglas I imagine they hv already done. Good old Blondell I remember from gunsmoke series lol. Hi blueyedblonde1956 - I seem to recall Susan Hayward, Barbara Stanwyck and Lauren Bacall being highlighted, if not stars of the month at one time or another. Bette Davis has been a few times, I think, over the years. They are all good choices. Peggy Ann Garner is less well-known, and had a very limited career since she died pretty young, but it is because she is less popular that I'd like to see her highlighted - plus she resembles my Granddaughter . I am in your age-bracket and I agree that I wish the silent films were a weeknight, but it wouldn't sound as catchy as 'Silent Sunday'. I utilize my DVR to work around programming times anyway. I need to be in a certain mood for silent films. Funny that you mention Joan Blondell (love her!) - I just watched one of her old movies today I had never seen. From 1932 - 'Three Broadway Girls'. It was on EPIX which recently was added to my cable bundle. It was pretty good - a gold-digger trio plot. I also find a lot of good old flicks on STARZ Encore Westerns (commercial-free) - many great films from our generation. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they were all equally fantastic. I haven't checked up on the TCM forum in some time. I appreciate your mentioning Nob Hill. I couldn't even remember having seen it, but I did have it in my collection so am watching it now - so far I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and Peggy Ann's performance ... delightful! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

chaya bat woof woof Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 This has a funny story behind it. Did you ever feel like scratching your head, etc. over trying to remember the name of an actor/movie/etc.? I had that with Sweet Smell of Success the other day. Some people call them brain "****" - excuse language. Well, there is a story in my family that my mother, who literally slept through an earthquake (minor) once, couldn't think of an actor's name. According to the story, somewhere around 3:00 a.m., she rolled over, slapped my Dad with her arm (and my Dad, like yours truly, always had problems sleeping at night) and yelled "Felix Bressart!" He was in a great many films. Therefore, I would love to see him as TCM's Star of the Month. He is always a supporting player, as is another favorite - Sam Levine (another nominee). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
cinemaman Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I would like to see Lee Remick be honored with the star of month. Lee Remick has an very good filmography to choose from. I know she is from the post studio period and not part of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Lee was an very good actress and was a star of high quality. Lee has worked some greats of Hollywood and here is a partial list. James Stewart, Paul Newman, Patricia Neal, George C Scott , Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, James Garner, Henry Fonda, Joanne Woodward, Gregory Peck, Jack Lemmon, Glenn Ford , Steve Mc Queen, Montgomery Cliff, Eve Arden, Rod Steiger and many more . ( this is not a complete list) Here is a list of key film highlights. A FACE IN THE CROWD 1957 THE LONG HOT SUMMER 1958 ANATOMY OF A MURDER 1959 WILD RIVER 1960 EXPERIMENT IN TERROR 1962 DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES 1962 NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY 1968 2 Link to post Share on other sites
