Wendy- Thanks so much for writing me. John WAS one of my go to's on the Judy question and he did not know. He is one of the sweetest guys ever and always generous with his info. Just a great guy. he is leaving Saturday to go to LA to emcee THE WIZARD OF OZ. Laraine Day was quite upset by Sanders - t...

See Countess,

knitwit45 can do it all.

and I will let you know about our gal in blue behind Judy this week I hope!

thanks nitwit.

orcoDev-

thanks for your generous offer and I will follow up once I get a minute. I imagine Tuesday would be good.

and knitwit45, never fear, I have my Judy expert on it.

Thanks all.

Countess- I am sure that knitwit 45 could whip something up for me. GONE WITH THE WIND did have a wonderful Southern accent advisor on the set - Georgian Susan Myrick who made the cast repeat "I can't afford a four door Ford." so that they could get it right. (ah caint affoahd a foah dooh ...

Agnes M would be a wonderful spotlight star. I would love to see a What a Character piece on her, or maybe as one of the Summer Under the Stars actors?

Dear Silver Screen Oasis participants, Start thinking of anything else you are curious about since I am on east coast time and will need to say goodnight in about an hour. I can tell you that Robert Blake was one of the nicest interviews that I ever had. He LOVED Ted Turner and told me to ask him an...

Great question Countess, and if I may, I am a Georgia native as she is, and I was delighted to meet her one day when she was with her mother in Atlanta. Her mother lived at the same extended care center that my grandmother did. Joanne walked her mother out of the front door past us and then stopped ...

Sue Sue-

I think that is a great idea. Please do.

Sue Sue-

here is more where that came from:
Matthew Broderick will be doing a month long tribute to my favorite genre, Screwball comedy in December.

Lots of surprises coming up for our 20th anniversary. Those will be announced in the coming months.

Gagman 66 I thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving and appreciating Silents. All great suggestions and I agree with you on Garbo (sorry Camille fans - Robert and I disagree on this one - he adores Camille). We love Criterion and do quite a bit of work with them and Janus. Robert loves Rich...

Ah Countess!!! there you are sugah. Or as they say in THE WOMEN, "there's baby.." Nightmare Alley - yes yes yes. and then there's Tyrone Power....Dana who? Yes Coleen Gray told me that she was too in awe of Joan Blondell to talk to her off camera. Here are my notes of what she said..."...

Sue Sue Do you mean besides seeing YOU each year at the TCM Film Festival?? I would have to say meeting Bette Davis was wonderful. I got to talk to Paul Newman on the telephone when he was talking about his friend Elizabeth Taylor. I met Taylor twice - both times when she was married to John Warner ...

I believe we have as either part of a Loretta Young or a Gene Raymond night. Again since it is a Fox title we would have had to license it. It also could have been announced and then we had a schedule change....can't quite remember. The title is very familiar....

Thanks.

Robert knew Bette well and told me a great story about visiting Paris with her once. She made the driver of the taxi/limo stop on the way to the hotel since she saw that THE WHALES OF AUGUST was playing. She had the projectionist STOP the movie!!! and had him bring up the house lights. She went to t...

Some of those short subjects are gone forever I am afraid, but let me do some digging.
and I meant WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS for a Dana drunk movie, but I typed WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS....sorry.
