Happy 80th Birthday TUESDAY WELD!

Are there any recent photos out there?

Happy Birthday, Tuesday!

Tuesday was born on a Friday.

Notorious pussyhound.

Tuesday's cousin was Alexander Graham Bell.

She, Warren Beatty, and Sheila James Kuehl are hoping for a reboot of "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."

Where has she lived all these years? How has she made a living?

Gotta hand it to her, Ms. Weld seems to have consistently Stated Her Boundaries.

Whether they were reasonable or ridiculous, she was not a whimpering kind of gal. She spoke her mind.

She’s such a gifted actress. I miss seeing her on film.

I don't know her.

Was she simply lazy? Why did such a talented and unique actress work so little in her prime (and even into her 40 and 50s)? Did she marry money?

Interesting woman

R14 I think she came from money so she probably had a nest egg or trust.

She supported her siblings and widowed mom from early childhood on as a model, so she burnt out early on. She didn’t find much joy or satisfaction in being a performer, or pursuing fame. It was more of a necessary evil.

Hush, hush, keep it down now

Oscar nominee…

Yes. And she had a wide range. She could easily play lightheaded comedy or more serious roles.

There’s a scene in “Once Upon a Time in America” where she sits in a car with Robert DeNiro and they just talk. She meets him eye to eye and is very assured - which has to be some kind of acting test. She’s grounded when she wants to be.

I saw her flying on her broomstick last night.

Tuesday Weld will be 81 Aug. 27th...

She and Yvette Mimieux were very similar.

Something I didn't know until today: Tuesday Weld briefly dated Mikhail Baryshnikov, after his split with Jessica Lange, whom Tuesday resembled, even down to the blue-gray fur.

Lange in fur, with Bob Fosse.

Weld is another child star who had a stage mom, sounds like she is done with this mess

She used to tell interviewers her mother was dead. When she wasn’t.

[quote].Whether one watches her in a great movie (like Once Upon a Time in America) or a lousy one (like 1971’s A Safe Place, Henry Jaglom’s “experimental” dreck-fest that wastes her along with Jack Nicholson and Orson Welles), a functional one (say, 1970’s I Walk the Line, which casts her oddly opposite a sluggish Gregory Peck) or a good one (1965’s The Cincinnati Kid) in which she’s just not given enough to do, the effect is the same: like seeing a figure that could as easily be spun from liquid gold and moonlight—a goddess of stardust and cream—seem persuasively, ineffably natural on camera. The problem was never that Weld “didn’t get the parts she deserved,” nor even that she turned so many of them down. The problem was that the movies barely deserved her. She could make even the technology that created her, somehow, seem common.

This is a great film and reads as an influence of , " Heaters"

"Heathers"

this page has a modern pic of her.

You beat me to it, R29! Here's the cashmere shopping scene!

That scene is too outrageous, r32. Uncomfortable but wildly funny
