Summer Under The Stars is Back!

TCM toasts 31 Hollywood legends--a new star every day in August. 

As they've done every August for the past thirteen years, TCM will be devoting each of its 31 days to a single star. That list begins with Gene Tierney on August 1 (Laura [1944], The Razor's Edge [1946], The Ghost and Mrs. Muir [1947], Ernst Lubitsch's Heaven Can Wait [1943] and two TCM premieres, 1949'sWhirlpool and 1954's The Egyptian) and finishes August 31 with 24 hours of Shelley Winters in films such as Kubrick's Lolita [1962], and movies with such top-tier leading men as Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, John Garfield and Anthony Quinn.

This year TCM will be covering all bases: films with such iconic legends as Fred Astaire, Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, John Wayne, Vivien Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, Gary Cooper and Robert Mitchum. They will also be toasting Ingrid Bergman's 100th birthday (she was born August 29, 1915), screening 13 films in Ingrid's honor, including the "essential" Casablanca (1942).

In addition, there will also be salutes to 15 talented actors never honored in August before, from Alan Arkin to Monty Woolley, as well as 20 TCM premieres.
