Re: HOLLYWOOD AT PLAY Authors Mary Mallory and Stephen X. Sylvester Visit June 17 & 18!

Good morning, Mary and Steve!

Thanks so much for dropping by the SSO to spend some time with us.

How do you go about deciding which stills to include in the book? I would think the paring down of images must be a difficult task.

Re: Happy Anniversary, SSO!

Ten years where have they gone? Where to begin as the memories wash over me! A little over ten years ago, the TCM message boards was the place to be for in-fighting, cat-calling and trolling. As the various factions reached fever pitch, some of us thought it likely that TCM would shut the boards dow...

Re: The Q & A with Lynn Zook on Nov. 12 & 13

Hey guys, Just wanted to give everyone a heads up-tomorrow evening is Classic Las Vegas night on TCM. The films they will be showing are a great visual time capsule of what the Las Vegas Strip looked like in its glory days as the Entertainment Capital of the World. Beginning at 8:00 EST/5:00 PST, th...

Joe,

Thanks so much for the reply about "Hollywood Babylon".

I hope you don't mind another question, what was the thing that surprised you the most from your research for the book?

Joe,

Thanks so much for spending the weekend with us! I love your book and appreciate all the research that went into it.

What would you say to people who only know about Mary's diary from "Hollywood Babylon".

Re: Welcome Scott O'Brien for a Q & A on Sylvia Sidney 12-17 & 12-18

Scott,

Thanks so much for joining us this weekend.

Dead End is one of my favorite movies. The cast includes Sylvia Sidney, Joel McCrea, Bogie and the Dead End Kids.. I was hoping you could talk a bit about the making of the film.

Thanks!

Re: The Q & A with Lynn Zook on Nov. 12 & 13

What's really sad about making fun of The Only Game in Town was that it was the last film directed by George Stevens, alas. Lynn has an interview with a journalist and a former detective who were there giving their account of the Cohen-Sinatra tussle. FYI, the lynn zook channel on youtube features ...

Re: The Q & A with Lynn Zook on Nov. 12 & 13

The one that rings most false to me is The Only Game in Town. It's supposed to take place mainly in Caesars Palace as I recall, but since it was shot on a soundstage in Italy, it definitely doesn't have the authentic vibe to it that the others do! What? The innocent story of love between those craz...

I really enjoyed Diamonds Are Forever , too, Lynn. Jimmy Dean playing a Howard Hughes-like character made it even more fun. I was wondeing what originally prompted you to want to write Gambling On A Dream. Can you share with us some of your motivation? Also, can you share your thoughts on the Vegas...

Vienna, I am so glad you brought up that Victor Mature film (Love Vic in anything)! Lynn, in addition to discussing The Las Vegas Story (1952) could you please name your top choices for the best of the Vegas-themed stories on film? Are there ones that you find ring a false note and why? Thanks for ...

Lynn: I am so proud AND excited for you. There is nothing better than good accurate research, and you obviously did yours with this book and before that with your documentary about Las Vegas. Which did you enjoy most - writing the book or making the documentary? Best, Mrs. Osborne Alexa, Good after...
