Dear PT, Many thanks for the birthday greetings and the two birthday cakes!! I'll take two to go........... And. Joe, Lomm and Fossy: Thank you for the kind wishes. I've made it to 74 and only some bad arthritis in my left hand and a little in my back is all to slow mw up so far. I live to go cruisi...

Hello PT, Did Agnes Moorehead ever make a movie with Judith Anderson? I never heard her mention Miss Anderson. Mary Astor and I once viewed "Rebecca" on TV in Vancouver; and MA pronounced Anderson as 'rather chilly or chilling' - I can't remember the exact word!! Elizabeth Taylor liked her...

Hi,

Poor Zsa Zsa - all her relatives and friends are dead; except the shit-head husband (can you spell LEECH).

As for Mamie - the boobs look better than the face; maybe she should pump some air into that!!

Hi,

February 6, 1952:

Britain's King George VI dies suddenly at his Sandringham home. He was 56.
His elder daughter, Princess Elizabeth, automatically becomes Queen Elizabeth II.
Which means that today, February 6, 2016, she has been the monarch for 64 years.

Hi, I believe Mary Carlisle is 102 today. Two years ago, she sat as a guest two booths away at Musso & Franks in Hollywood from Lynn, Christy, Alexa, David, Sam, Glenn, Paula and me. She looked very well and quite spry. We were all there for the TCM Film Festival and in high spirits among great ...

Good Morning Christy!! Great news about Gina Lollobrigida; I am so excited to see her. Last year, Sophia; this year Gina!!!!!!! I have seen both of her films being shown but will enjoy another viewing. I have never seen "Keys to the Kingdom", so that will be good. And, the same goes for &q...

Hi Joe, There's that veil again!!!!! Isn't that Anna Q. Nilsson with her? Not sure..... I understand that they were good friends. Don't know if Theda was asked to play 'Norma Desmond'; but Mae Murray, Mary Pickford, Pola Negri and Mae West all were. They all turned it down, as we all know. But, when...

Hi Joe, Thank you for posting a picture of Theda Bara - rare indeed..... She looks like she has her clutches into Tony Curtis!! Although I never knew her, I have seen her (across a crowded room - restaurant) a couple of times and she always seemed to have that veil on.... She was, from all accounts,...

Also Joe,

Thank you for remembering Marion Davies and Pola Negri on their birthday - the same day!
These are two of my favourite (old!) ladies.....

In fact, I met them on the same day in 1946 at Marion's beach house in Santa Monica and knew them very well till the end of their time(s)....

Dear Joe, If I remember correctly, Bela, Sterling and Paulette were doing a skit on a local television show in the 50's. Also - I think - Helen Hayes was with them. Helen & Paulette were very good friends. And, Paulette would have known Sterling through Burgess Meredith, a good friend of Sterlin...

Erik,

Thank you!!!

As you know, I wish we had stars now-a-days who were classy and knew how to move; Miss Hayworth had those in spades.

Larry

Hi Erik, I hope you were able to view "Pal Joey" last night.... "Zip" near the beginning proved she could still move flowingly and graciously and sensuously... Of course, jean Louis dressed her as a star should be dressed; and I liked the mauve evening gowns he provided for Kim N...

Hi,

Happy Birthday Gloria!!!
I do like a smouldering sex-bomb!!!!

Hi Lynn, Christy and Everyone, Although I was unable to secure a Spotlight Pass, I am on a Wait List... I have however, got a Classic Pass, as advised by you both and can upgrade to Spotlight, if available. Also, I'm reserved at the Roosevelt several months ago - so see everyone at The Festival - wi...

Hi,

One couldn't order Spotlight passes on-line and the telephone was disconnected yesterday; so I wasn't able to get any pass.
I now have a special agent trying to obtain one for me, but haven't heard yet.
So, I'm up-in-the-air now and waiting.......

Larry
