TV Tuesday: Loretta Young Makes an Entrance
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 8, 2009
Though I've never seen The Loretta Young Show (also known as Letter to Loretta), I have often heard of her legendary dramatic entrances at the start of each episode. She would open the door to a cozy room, and briskly step in, with a flip of her skirt, to give her introduction. That entran read more

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Betty in Blunderland (1934)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 5, 2009
Betty Boop is right at home in this surreal parody of Alice in Wonderland. It's a bizarre 'toon, even for a Fleischer Studios production. I mean, a seal shooting lobsters off his back? A turtle fitted with a machine gun? It's great, crazy stuff. read more

Well, time to give in to the urge and post yet another clip from What's My Line? Here's Joan Crawford in a 1961 appearance, one of five she made on the show. Joan does a great job stumping the panel and getting a few laughs for herself along the way. She also brings out her lesser-known ad read more
