Hey, Friends & Neighbors, don't mean to track so far back up the page, but does anybody else see a resemblence between Evelyn Karloff, and England's current Princess Anne?

Guess I didn't realize that David Selznick died at 63. I guess I thought or assumed he'd died much younger.

To celebrate Nancy Walker's birthday, treat yourself to a viewing of Can't Stop the Music. And watch it with as many friends as possible, on as large as screen as is available to you. There's no pleasure quite like collective embarrassment, which any group watching this film is bound to feel at some point.

Also celebrating birthdays today:

Leon Gaumont (1884 - 1946)
Anatole Litvak (1902 - 1974)

Scrowley, I thought Selznick was at least in his 70s when he died. He was younger than he looked. I guess the production of GWTW took it's toll.

ChiO, thanks for the additional birthday info.

Yipes! I think The Sultry Margo looks like Byron Foulger in that photo. Hers was a difficult face to photograph.

Stephen, whenever anyone asks me what I think is the worst movie ever made, they are somewhat surprised when I quickly answer Can't Stop the Music, mostly because they've never heard of it. And rightly so, I might add.

Wow, sounds like it might even be potent enough to lessen some of the disgrace of Xanadu.

That is a stunning photo, Mongo, and it tells a great story. Thanks.

Thank you, Wendy. I thought so too.
