TCM…
- Star of the Month: Glenda Farrell! She performed in over 100 roles across stage, tv, and films with a majority of these in the 1930s as a character actor staple of the Warner Bros. musicals, melodramas and gangster films. From her first taste of the stage at age seven, she embraced hard work and excelled at delivering sass. Most notably, she was best known for popular take on the fast-talking reporter Torchy Blane. Enjoy a collection of her films every Monday in October. Full schedule here.
- The Art of Casting- Tuesdays in November! Hosted by Ben Mankiewicz, casting directors David Rubin and Juliet Taylor join the discussion in the art of casting talent as reflected via 14 iconic films.
- Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers TCM takes a look at the women filmmakers who made history during primetime on the first 2 Thursdays in November, followed by a showcase of Female Directors during the daytime scheduling on Wednesday, Nov. 7th. Hosted by Alicia Malone with guests Illeana Douglas and Dr. Karen Ward Mahar.
- On Veterans Day, November 11th, TCM salutes our brave servicemen and women as they invite veterans of the US Armed Forces to introduce and chat a favorite film.
