Hi,

I'd love to see Rhonda Fleming & Arlene Dahl = "Slightly Scarlet".
Shirley McKnight = "Sweet Bird of Youth"
Ruta Lee = "Witness for the Prosecution".

Re: Coming Up on TCM

Hi Moira, I watched the picture on Friday night and thought it was pretty much dragged out; I really couldn't get too interested in anybody. I do like Jean Simmons and Michael Rennie as a rule but was pretty bored with them here. Merle Oberon wasn't really in it much; I thought I remembered more of ...

Re: CANDIDS II

Hi, Eeek......... That picture of Joan Crawford - she could be applying for a job as Bubbles the Clown!!! Gable's girls - - Carole Lombard, Virginia Grey, Sylvia Ashley and Kay Spreckles all resembled each other to a great degree. And Joan Crawford and Rhea Langham looked similar, although Rhea was ...

Re: CANDIDS II

Dear Rerun!!

Well, at least you looked like 2 very attractive ladies.....
Thankfully, they didn't think you reminded them of the creature from the black lagoon - ha, ha..
If you resemble Virginia Grey - you must be a doll - Arlene Dahl??????

Re: CANDIDS II

Hi Joe, Joan & Mercedes: I don't know why they didn't get along, as both women were really very nice ladies. I knew both of them - Joan not so well; but Mercedes very well (she used to baby-sit me).... I'll just bet these two were goaded into posing together as one can certainly tell that the sm...

Re: CANDIDS II

Dear Joe,

I am so sorry to hear of your ailment. Parkinson disease is so very prevalent now-a-days in us elder statesmen!!

You are very precious to us here on the Oasis and in movie circles too. I hope you are at least comfortable and resting well.

Re: CANDIDS II

Hi Joe, Great glamour shot of Marjorie Main. Possibly the best 'scene stealer' in movie history - Humphrey Bogart, Clark gable, Judy Garland, Eugene Pallette, Norma Shearer, Greer Garson and even Gary Cooper all had to scramble for the camera and the microphone, while Marjorie just sat or stood ther...

Hi, Poor Ann Sheridan... To be forgotten and ignored like that - and her a great star, who entertained America and the world so well.... Wouldn't it have been naughty if she were put into that Egyptian sarcophagus she ended up in in "The Man Who Came to Dinner"!!!!!!! Aren't I a scamp!! La...

Re: Someone's having a birthday!

Dear Lynn and Christy,

Many thanks for my birthday wishes.

Just a couple of months and we will be hobnobbing with the Stars!!!!
I'm off to London first, with my royalty conference group; and then our movie group in LA.
April will be busy for me.
