Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty!

One of the best movies ever made, in my opinion. Real joy.

Yes.

Maybe it's a wild idea, but I had the horrible thought that Matthew would commit suicide. After all, we don't know much about him—or Henry.

I'd try "Pickford, The Woman Who Made Hollywood" from 1997, and/or "The First King of Hollywood," from 2017 or 2016, for these two stars at least. I wish I could give you the name of a general silent history, but my mind's a blank. (My personal wish is that somebody, somewhere—hello, Ryan Murphy—would do the silent…

Oh, I see now, thanks. No, they didn't do it for the cameras. MP in particular had a unique connection to her fans. Back in the nickelodeon era, the names of actors weren't publicized because studios were afraid that a star system would develop if they did. That's when Pickford became the first movie star, and it…

Not sure what you mean by "coming from the same place" … can you expand?

Hearst and Davies are a very touching story. For all their troubles—and there were many—they were devoted to each other.

The book that Jimmy finds in Chuck's house—and which they discuss in a bonding moment—is "The Adventures of Mabel." It was part of their childhood. So the name "Mabel" connects to a happy moment shared by the brothers—probably one of the last (if not the very last) we are going to see.

Saw it on Broadway. That bedroom scene!

Rebecca.

[1] Just to thank you for mentioning that book, which I read for the first time this year. Stunning, overwhelming. [2] I know a few people who see it that way. It certainly lives in the shadow of BB for the recapper at The New York Times. He seems to see it as the methadone for his BB addiction.

If the series was all about Hedda, I might want more specific info. But the statement is made in passing, about a supporting character, and so it was enough for me. It scanned. I've heard women say, "My career kept me from having any children/having more children" throughout my life. It's a common dilemma. In Hedda's…

In Feud, Hedda says that she couldn't attain her dream of "many children" … so they covered themselves factually on that point.

"Feud obviously is a fictionalized version of what really happened in those Hollywood years, but manipulating life events to more closely align with the preferred narrative almost seems like stepping over the line somehow?"

Thanks!

According to the podcast, he directed an episode of "Billions."

His voice can be seriously threatening as well.

I saw him onstage in New York twice, mid-70s. Once on Broadway as Dracula, once off-Broadway in The Prince of Homburg (which was actually more impressive. Oh, and he handed me a book in a bookstore once!) I've been lucky enough to see four great stage stars in my life—Carol Channing, Gwen Verdon, Angela Lansbury,…

Alexei's wife just got a job working with American intelligence agents who need to learn Russian. (?? Something like that.) So Tuan's situation is secure, as P&E will want to stay stay tight with that family—just for a new reason. I'm just wondering how Tuan will deal with the fact that his "parents" turned up one…
