Saturday is Joan Crawford Day on TCM!

It's here!

The Women at 3pm!

Bless you, DL...

I AM NOT ONE OF HER FANS!

I wish all of you a very Gay Joan Crawford Day.

Queen Bee on now!

“You’re so quiet…we’ll have to put a bell on you”

Baby Jane.

What am I, chopped liver?

I don't know exactly *what* you are, Trog.

Did Blanche die at the end?

When I watched it as a kid, r11? No she didn't.

We want BESERK

Alert me when Grand Roach Motel is on.

Alert me when The Best of Everything is on.

With Blanche ringing that fucking buzzer all of the time, I’d beat the shit out of her too.

Under no circumstance let my sister read the contents of this letter.

HAG MASH

Fabulous R18

You should also like Rhapsody in Noir, r19...

I do, R20 - very much.

Thanks!

Does BD Hyman get a royalty check after Baby Jane is shown?

Alert me when Johnny Guitar is on.

I’m the spitting image of Jane Hudson

You can have your effing letter back.

Imagine being a guest at Faye's house and saying, "what's on TCM tonight?"

That fat ass sure had a mean bitch for a mom

Bette disinherited BD, R22. Kathryn Sermak (Bette's assistant) and her adopted son, Michael Merrill, benefited from the will. Michael had also, I assume, the responsibility of guardian to Margot, Bette's "mentally retahded" adopted daughter, until her recent death.

Mildred Pierce next.

Tuesday was Raquel Welch day. They showed all of her classics.

[quote] They showed all of her classics.

So they filled a two-hour block?

Tomorrow is Clint Eastwood day. And the second film they're showing is the one in which he co-starred with Carol Channing!

That would be The First Traveling Saleslady, 32.

^r32

Queen Bee was camp classic. How have I never seen this before?

"The Damned Don't Cry" (1950), with Spanish subtitles for our amigos.

Joan excelled at those rags-to-riches-to-tragedy roles. After all, wasn't it her own story?

I don't know, r35. And you being *such* a Betsy Palmer fan...and all.

FOLLIES @ THE ROXY

From Jeopardy:

A: A Raquel Welch movie title, also Joan Crawford's birth year.

What about a Victor Buono day?

Thelma Ritter Day!

Victor B and his mother, Delia, were the best part of WEHtoBJ. They should have had their own spin-off.

Joan Crawford, The Ultimate Movie Star. Thats the best documentary I've ever seen on Crawford. TCM should play that again at some point.

I wish it was on YouTube.

And now Mommie Dearest is on Showtime opposite The Damned Don't Cry on TCM.

Saw Flamingo Road for the first time last night. Joan was magnificent as always and the movie was trashy fun.

They should have shown Sudden Fear

Browsing through IMDB I found a listing for a Crawford film called LETTY LYNTON that has been unavailable since 1936 due to a copyright infringement settlement - the script was very close to a play produced on Broadway and no credit was given, so the playwright sued successfully.

Anyway, Crawford must have pissed off someone in the MGM art department for them to come up with the poster at the link (and yes, it's genuine).

"Flamingo Road?" She played a whore in that one--right? I'm sure it was one of her best, since no acting skill was required.

"Letty Lynton" is available for viewing on certain bootleg sites. I've seen it a number of times. I wish more of her silents were still around.

So do all who watched her talkies.

She plays what has to be one of the oldest cooch dancers ever in FLAMINGO ROAD.

It was appropriate since she had an old cooch.

I saw flamingo road about a decade ago for the first time. Make sure you watch it eating doughnuts and drinking iced coffee. That's what I was eating and drinking when I first saw it and now prefer to watch that movie with iced coffee and doughnuts, for memories sake. 🙃

They never show Female on the Friggin' Beach

It took all of 2 seconds to find out that that poster was not released in conjunction with the film, R48, and certainly not by MGM. There was no way in hell that the studio known for glamour would ever release a poster with one of their top stars at the time portrayed as some ghoul.

Yeah, studios back than were very meticulous about how their Stars appeared in public and played a huge role in their public personsas.

Was that poster for the US market, r48?

*the* dress

That poster wasnt for any market, R58. It was made by a graphic artist for a local double feature. I read that on the internet.

As is everyday, my dear.

Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Joan Crawford?

Mildred Pierce colorized.

R11 was Baby Jane arrested for the murder of Elvira?

I've never seen "Possessed," just turned it on halfway through on TCM. Can't make head nor tail of the plot, but she is so beautiful in this one.
