Chris, Moira and Judith, Judy Lewis is Loretta Young's child with Clark Gable. I know Judy quite well and she has told me that Loretta did tell her those facts before the book was written. However, LY would never publically confirm these facts and why should she; it's her business. This is now a mat...

Hi, I've been to Cannes too but not when the Festival is on. I prefer Nice much better though. It's down the road east, and further on is Monaco. My grandmother owned a large villa, coral coloured, at Cap Ferrat on the southern beach. I have seen pictures of it last year and it is being renovated af...

Hi Erebus, I think most people fall into the catagory you've described. You like what you like and don't like what you don't. I know that applies to me. I'm no movie afficienado and tend to think there is good and bad in all movies. If you like John Wayne, then good for you; he was a great star and ...

Hi, I have come to that exact conclusion. The poor old TCM Message Board has been severely wounded. All those past horrible postings from all the "you know who's" inflicted an injury and now we have 'the gay patrol' on there, who is certain that every movie star and their film characters w...

John, How nice of you to bring Tinkie Wink to wave goodbye to his 'bum buddie'..... Ooops, did I let that secret out of the bag?? Now, tell me, someone, is Jimmy Swaggert still preaching to those 'fallen women' in the motels?? He does have to get right on top of them naked, doesn't he, for the full ...

"The Killing"

Hi, Continuing on with Mr. Arkadin's suggestion that we discuss May 14th TCM movies: " The Killing "... I've never seen this movie before and since I love Marie Windsor, and I'm taking next week to sit on my ass for 7 days (I'm too pooped to move), I'll watch it... Love Sterling Haydon too...

Hey Ken, The New Democrat party has some good policies, especially environmental ones. And, they are responsible for forcing universal medicare in Canada. But, they've had some real dingbats for leaders lately. One went nuts in a dentist's chair and said he'd had an 'out-of-life' experience. He's no...

Hi Moira, Rex Harrison hated this movie and only did it for the money. I saw it years ago; it was boring except for Brenda De Banzie and it had a stupid ending as I recall. I've been to their villa in Portofino. Rex held a birthday party for me there when I turned 18 in 1960. His ashes are scattered...

Bloomberg

Hi Ken, I've also heard that Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City has benn asked or is considering running for President through an Independent Party. I've only heard good things about him and one of them is that he will only charge $1.00 a year salary. I guess he's got lots of money already. Is...

Hi Miiss G, No, Dolores and Virginia were not related. Ann Miller also knew how to make an entrance. I've written about this before but: In 1998, she entered the lobby of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Bright red Chanel suit, pearls and a large diamond clip. The Manager met her and gave her flowers and...

MY GUILTY PLEASURES

Hi Everyone, 3 of my guilty pleasures are: 1) " Thoroughly Modern Millie " - - I just love Beatrice Lillie, as an Oriental yet, and how she looks Mary Tyler Moore up and down and says, "All alone in the world, my dear, - such a pity".. All the while hoping to 'white slave' her to...

Hi,

Here we are having reported, in the papers and on TV, that "Andy" Rooney was kissing the Queen's hand..

Now, I ask you all, if the 'journalists' and 'reporters' are getting this wrong, then what else are we being spoonfed that's false?
