Meryl Streep is a great actress no question about it. If there wasn't a far more suitable actress available, Marisa Tomei, who is in the proper age group, a wonderful actress and almost a dead ringer for Maria Callas I say great but as it is Callas was about 45 when she taught those classes, Meryl will be 65 next…

Wow, rough times for classic actresses! Ann B. Davis, Mona Freeman, Joan Lorring, Martha Hyer yesterday (at least the news was released yesterday) and now Ruby Dee. With Shirley Temple Black's passing earlier in the year it's a real loss.

An interesting if flawed film. Inger Stevens was one incredibly beautiful woman, a decent actress too boot!

Citizen Kane-I respect its innovations but have only ever been able to struggle through it once.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy-Once I made the mistake of seeing the first one I had to stick with it to see how it would turn out. I HATE hated them by the time the torture was over.
Lawrence of Arabia-Even with my love of…

Love Sally! Glad she's finally been offered something worth doing. After Lincoln she should have been flooded with work but the only thing she's done is Aunt May in Spiderman. That's appalling.

Her Pilgrim Soul is my favorite also. It's so tightly constructed with a story perfect for The Twilight Zone and beautifully acted, especially by Anne Twomey. Shatterday was almost as good but the interplay between the characters made Soul more involving.

I hate when people say something is dated and so they automatically can't enjoy it. It speaks more to them being narrow and inflexible than any fault of the film or performer.

Linda Darnell
Carole Lombard
Gene Tierney
Gloria Grahame
Jean Harlow-taking into consideration the styles of the time,

The show wasn't that great but Greg Kinnear was giving it his all and that made it worth watching. Hopefully he'll find a better vehicle next time.

I wasn't much of a fan, he was always too "on" for me or conversely begging for sympathy, but a ninety year career is worthy of admiration and can-doism.

Ditch the Frenchies, they're awful and bring back Stevie! Stop making her so variable though. Put her in a room with Victoria and let the fur fly.

I love Morgan Fairchild but even though she's always looked somewhat surgically enhanced I think she's gone one procedure too far this time. The woman's face was totally immobile!

Loving the addition of Gail O'Grady as Stevie! She looks great as a redhead and she knows her way around a line reading too.

Just because you never heard of her hardly makes her life or career unworthy of notice at the time of her passing pal. The show may not have been iconic but it was a decent extension the original and she did well with the role in addition to much other work.

I loved this show when it was on and, a true test of quality, all these years later still remember small snippets of it. I was never a huge fan of Richard Benjamin but with Paula Prentiss he had something he never duplicated with anyone else. Paula herself is divine, a really superior comedienne, and I've always been…

So many possibilities!

Why do they try and do these things! Classic stars can not be replicated. Did no one learn a damn thing from the atrocity that is "Gable & Lombard"?

Who cares that this soon to be forgotten "talent" has his panties in a twist. So he won't talk to the press anymore. Promises, Promises.

Bright Eyes is probably most representative of her films but Poor Little Rich Girl is decent too and has the added plus of having both Alice Faye and Jack Haley in it. Her best grown up film is The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.

In Shirley's bio she said she was under consideration for Veda but Curtiz decided she had too much baggage going into the role for the public to forget it was her and not be distracted from the main story. She could have been an interesting Veda but no one could have played it as well as Ann Blyth did.
