Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 11, 2010
This is not a tough job. You read a script. If you like the part and the money is O.K., you do it. Then you remember your lines. You show up on time. You do what the director tells you to do. When you finish, you rest and then go on to the next part. That's it.-Robert MitchumImage Source read more

Is Doris Day Actually 86?
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 6, 2010
I received this e-mail from Jazz musician Jim Martinez this morning. I thought you all would find it interesting:

TV Tuesday: Marilyn Monroe on the Jack Benny Show
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 6, 2010
Marilyn Monroe and Jack Benny are low-key, but silly in this 1953 sketch on Benny's show. Monroe sings Bye Bye Baby, from her recent movie, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Though she wasn't known for her pipes, I think she could really sell a song. read more
