Jane Wyman Romances Charlton Heston and Natalie Wood Befriends a Miracle Dog
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on May 8, 2014

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 29, 2010
Lana Turner and Jane Wyman have it out in this juicy scene from a 1982 episode of Falcon Crest. I miss nighttime soaps like this one. It makes sense to me that so many classic Hollywood stars appeared in them, because these shows were the closest you could get to a 1940s-50s style pro read more
