I love that Marion is the brains of the outfit.

First rule of Angela Lansbury...you do not talk about Angela Lansbury.

I saw an obituary for Olivia earlier today which claimed Vivien Leigh’s work in GWTW has aged poorly while Olivia’s holds up. I don’t agree - I think they are the perfect contrast to each other. There is no Melanie without Scarlett, or vice/versa. Ashley, and even to a degree Rhett, are a sideshow to their journey.

I can't go a day without thinking of or saying something about Trump if that makes it any better. 

You should probably stop thinking about our movie icons with your cursed powers. I suggest thinking about more important matters like the president.

Yes yes, Oscar winning movies, critically acclaimed roles - but am i the only one who immediately thought of Agatha Christie’s “Murder is Easy”, starring Bill “The Incredible Hulk” Bixby ...

Stop thinking out loud about our aging icons, dammit!

I’m going raise a glass of wine to a life well-lived. Oh the stories, she could have told! In fact, I hear she did tell some of them.

To me she is the definitive Marion.  I think of the character and I think of that wonderful smile and veiled hat.

You are so right. It is ridiculously good. I went to high school one town over from Custer’s birth place (which was also home to the infamous “We Almost Lost Detroit” Fermi nuclear power plant.) It was that time when “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” was required reading in schools. No one took pride in Custer by that…

One of the most satisfying moments in movie history:

The last of the Old Gods are gone, & with her exit ends the Golden Age of Hollywood upon this earth. RIP, Olivia.

There’s a great story about TO EACH HIS OWN. Apparently, during the film’s initial run the studio was flooded with letters from theatre operators requesting that an additional scene be tacked onto the end so that the lights wouldn’t have to come up on the whole audience bawling their eyes out.

Man, that movie is so much better than it has any right to be. considering the subject.

God, she was beautiful and radiant in a way actors will never be again (as was her sister, too.) Those movies with Flynn are ridiculously watchable and not just “Robin Hood,” which is endlessly fun. She also had an impressive dramatic run doing “ The Snake Pit” (in which she is very fine,) “The Heiress” and “My Cousin…

Light in the Piazza (1962) is a late-career highlight, in my view.

She outlived them all! Bless her. RIP.

The Heiress deservedly gets a ton of praise, but To Each His Own, her first Oscar win, is a really good melodrama weepy that I think gets overlooked these days in part because that genre isn’t as ‘respectable’. And of course you also had The Snake Pit, her third nomination in the 1946-1949 period, which arguably she…

“I think the Golden Age of Hollywood’s lights are now fully dimmed.”

There can be only one.
