Hi, SPOILERS:-00 Today, Wednsday, I enjoyed some great performers in 1950 movies - Marjorie Main and James Whitmore in a comedy mystery, "Mrs. O'Malley & Mr. Malone"... Marjorie singing off-key in a nightclub was knee-slapping hilarious!!! Ann Dvorak and Dorothy Malone were also featur...

Hi,

Just wanted everyone to know that I'll be at TCM Film Festival in March...

I have an Essentials Pass, so will be busy seeing movies and mostly my friends whom I have met on this site!!!

Hi Christy,

I'd nominate Christopher Walken as host - - he'd be a very avant guarde addition...

Hi Nancy & Erik, I'm with you... I'd never seen "Twentieth Century" and settled down to watch, as I'd actually been on The Twentieth Century train several times in the 40's and 50's. The train set bore no resemblance to the actual train - you can enter another ajoining cabin, but those...

Hi Christy and David, I managed to secure a room at the Roosevelt for the Festival; so will see you there.. If you've cancelled at the Roosevelt, then where are you staying? Hopefully, not at the "W" as you know how I hate that place, after the lousy service we got last April. David - wher...

Hi Erik,

I like this picture too....
She looks so young still and happy too. Still a STAR after 25 years - not many could claim that!

Hi, I too was never really that interested in George Brent - he was always just there in movies which had someone or something else that interested me more. But, after seeing "The Rains Came" (1939), I quite appreciated his performance in that; he was really good... Since then, I have a be...

Hi Stone, It's often surprising to us that all these movie stars didn't always know each other. I can see Geore Raft and Lizabeth Scott together in my 'mind's eye', but I guess it just wasn't so. A funny interview with Zsa Zsa Gabor years ago - when she was asked about Alan Ladd - and she replied, &...

Hi, I understand, from a friend of mine who lives in Malta now, but used to work for the Rome Opera Company, that Anita and Ursula are great friends and live in Rome. In fact, Ursula nursed Anita back to health some years ago. I love it when glamour pusses are friends and garner some nice publicity....

Hi, I think it would be wonderful if both Dorothy and Lizabeth were featured at this April's TCM Film Festival. I'm sure Robert Osborne or someone from the TCM staff would have contacted them and asked. And, I hope they're both doing well; it would be exciting to see them and the fans there would ch...

Hi Moira, Sad to hear of the death of Prince Nicholas, who was a true gentleman. I met him and his brother, Dmitri, when I was achild; and have remained a friend and still in touch with Dmitri. I did not know Nicholas well, but he invited me to the reburial of The Dowager Empress in 2006, for which ...

Hi Joe, So glad you are continuing your excellent thread of Candids. It truly is the most popular and sought-after part of this Forum - thank you once again... I loved the photo of Pola Negri receiving her American citizenship; I remember that day, although I wasn't there - she described it to me a ...

Hi,

Is it just me or does everybody else get Corinne Calvert and Denise Darcel mixed up?

Hi, Joan Rivers : Wow, this morning, the news was reporting that she was recovering and moved to a private room. She certainly was a vibrant and funny lady - more than a little risque, but then more accepted & acceptable than other "so-called comedians"..... My favourite line of hers w...
