The best thing @ the past 48 hrs is realizing overwhelmingly that so many of us share this love of

This week I'm crushing on

big time. Love he played the murdered lover in 1929's
#TheLetter
and also the way-too-understanding husband in the 1940
#BetteDavis
version. You get to see his sexy bad-boy side + his sexy steady side. Marriage material!
#TCMParty
#TCM
the film-quality production, the acting of the two leads ... all hold up. It's a mix of a classic movie screwball comedy + a detective show. Cybill is gorg + perfectly bitchy + Bruce Willis has a full head of hair and the same sardonic grin/charming delivery we all love. So good!
So fun

I agree. Why is it so unforgivable and "criminal" to cross the border, but the federal government can ignore a court order????? Maybe Trump should be separated from HIS family now.

Thank. Fricking. God. It only took, hmmm, 35 years to pay off my college student loans!! A substantial chunk of which was forgiven thanks to me working in "verified" nonprofit organizations for several decades. The weight lifted is visceral.

This is a 1953 edition I bought at a thrift shop. It reminded me of my mom who passed away at 69 somewhat unexpectedly in May. This was her cooking bible - esp. for cakes & canning - when I was a wee one. It's fun to pull out & make cakes from scratch.

Yes, I was once married long ago! :) Found my old wedding photos in the storage unit when I visited Michigan last month. I thought they were lost. They exist only in print and not digitally because this was 20 years ago (!). Such a young lass.

Wow, thanks for the scoop on Paul! I didn't know he wrote for the Electric Company, which when I was a kid was sort of the "quirky cooler" version of Sesame Street. We just rewatched 16 Candles and he's lovely in it! And we're big Curb Your Enthusiasm fans in this house too! :)
Happy birthday to Paul Dooley, who turns 96 today. Dooley was in such films and TV shows as Breaking Away, Sixteen Candles, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Star Trek Deep Space 9, and Desperate Housewives. He was also one of the creators and writers of The Electric Company!

When TCM was officially launched in Times Square 30 years ago on this day in 1994, Ted Turner and Robert Osborne were joined by Hollywood legends for the big moment. The date was selected to coincide with the centennial anniversary of the first public movie showing in NYC.

Terrifying in Wait Until Dark. Heartbreaking in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Hilarious in The In-Laws. And there are so many more. Mr. Arkin has died at age 89. RIP.

Why do I love classic movies and film history so much? Since I was a wee one, I’ve been captivated by the aesthetic of silent films, of black & white films, of the style, stories and snappy dialogue of the Golden Age of Cinema.

? Watched it tonight and I kinda liked the back-in-time-to-the-1940s in LA paradigm. It was kinda cheesy in some ways, but overall I liked it.
RIP Eleanor Coppola, author, filmmaker, artist and wife of Francis Coppola. To read her memoir NOTES and know what she went through with APOCALYPSE NOW and Coppola, it’s amazing that marriage survived. It’s all because of her. She was a force behind much of Coppola’s success.

My fiancé said I'd get, like, 10 more followers if I posted a picture of myself in a bikini lying on the French Riviera a few years ago. Does anyone think this is true? Would they be people interested in classic movies?😝
Hopping on to wish my father, Paul Henreid, a happy heavenly birthday, January 10, 1908-March 29, 1992.
