MovieGal53 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 TCM, may we please have a Summer Under the Stars featuring character actors? Or a year in which you bestow Star of the Month on 12 of them. Beulah Bondi's films alone would fill an entire month so I place this idea for your consideration.

Swithin Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 MovieGal, I totally agree with you and with your choice for the inaugural celebrant! Is there anyone who personifies the greatness of classic films as well as *Beulah Bondi* ? I would particularly like to see The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, one of Ms. Bondi's many films in which she truly excels. And the diversity of films that could be shown! She even made a horror film with Karloff and Lugosi: The Invisible Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGal53 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Swithin, Beulah Bondi was one of THE most underrated actress's in the history of film. Yes, that sounds dramatic but her range was incredible. My most favorite role of her's was Lucy in MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW. Ms. Bondi never fails to bring me to tears each time I see that film. Agnes Moorehead is another exceptional example along with Mae Robson, Lucille Watson, Charlie Ruggles, James Mitchell, and the list goes on. It would be wonderful if TCM shines the spotlight on all of them for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonesomePolecat Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 This could have been posted by any one of us-- we all wish they would feature some character actors for SUTS and SOTM. Beulah Bondi would be a fantastic choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You should send the website an e-mail. I doubt the powers that be look at the boards too closely. (aside from the moderator).......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGal53 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hibi, Thanks for the suggestion. I scrolled on down to the Contact Us link and sent my post to TCM. I'm asking those who are in agreement with me to please contact TCM so we can make this happen. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
