[Hibi]

I had heard of his passing, but not Bill Reynolds and a few others (Mr. Bookman from Seinfeld!!!)

Hey, what happened to Sally Kellerman????? BIG omission!

She will be featured in "TCM Forgets 2022."

[EP Millstone]

She will be featured in "TCM Forgets 2022."

So, let's remember Sal here!

According to the Internet Movie Database, Sally Kellerman was considered for the lead role in Saint Joan, directed by Otto Preminger. She lost the role to Jean Seberg and instead made her motion picture debut in Reform School Girl, distributed by American International Pictures.

"“My first film was also my worst. I played a school dyke and carried a tool case. When I came on screen, everybody in the theater laughed. I didn’t work for three years after that." -- Sally Kellerman

I guess so! I'd expect this from the Oscars, but TCM really dropped the ball this year!

LOL! Poor Sally! Not sure Joan would've launched her as it crashed Seberg's career for awhile.

I complained on the TCM website about it (Doubt it'll do any good, but at least hopefully it will be passed on to the people who do these things)

If Kellerman had gotten Saint Joan, she would likely have done Bonjour Tristisse as well, since Preminger reused Seberg in that. Never saw Saint Joan, but Bonjour Tristisse is quite good, although it wasn't treated well at the time. The more intriguing possibility is imagining Sally Kellerman in Breathless and the later Lilith....

Did I miss LESLIE JORDAN or was he omitted?

and no SALLY KELLERMAN !! Oscar nominee.... BIG MISS

Jordan wasn't included although he did have supporting roles in a handful of films (including one, The Help, that was a Best Picture nominee in 2011). Admittedly, other than The help, I first thought of him for his brief arc on Boston Legal in 2005, alongside Betty White, another mostly-TV personality not included, although she had a one-scene bit in 1962's Advise and Consent.

Sally Kellerman is the first Oscar nominee I can recall that ever missed one of these montages. I was legitimately shocked that she was not included.

NO KIDDING! Oscar nominee and an iconic film role. SMH.



Don't think he was in there. No Michael Callan either or Andrew Prine. I know they can't cover everyone but........

MASH was her biggest, but she also had several other notable films:

The Boston Strangler
The April Fools
Brewster McCloud
Last of the Red Hot Lovers
Lost Horizon ('73)
Slither ('73)
Rafferty and the gold Dust Twins
Welcome to L.A.
The Big Bus
A Little Romance
Foxes
Serial
Back to School
That's Life
Pret-a-Porter
It's my Party
Boynton Beach Club

All of these films except Brewster (which was an Altman film for MGM) had at least one Oscar nominee in another major role. It makes no sense not to include someone with that many connections.
