On a similar note, when I was young and naïve, I thought it was totally bonkers how Pat Kingsley kept Tom Cruise so completely blocked from ever talking about anything.
Then she was replaced and he started talking.

Jimmy Kimmel quipped "only 12 people saw 'Power of the Dog.'" For several months, detractors scoffed it was too grim, arty, obtuse, *too something.*
Yet "Dog” was the most-watched English-language film on Netflix in mid-December. 27.2 million hrs, 1st four days it was available.

True story: I met Karl Malden in ‘98. I told him my pal, Monte Hellman, considered “Baby Doll” the greatest film acting ensemble ever. He thanked me and said, “I’m going to tell you something but if you tell anyone it will probably kill it. I’m getting Kazan an honorary Oscar.”
