That Bonanza episode was written by Barrie's brother. She also appeared in several episodes of Mike Hammer and was the lead in an episode of Gunsmoke. Other...

Didn't know Barrie Chase did a Gunsmoke too! I did see her once on my favorite western as a kid, "Have Gun, Will Travel." She was also on "Burke's Law,"...
Barrie told me she was in Gunsmoke, but there's a good chance she was thinking of Have Gun, Will Travel. Mike...

As Chris alluded to last week, TCM is featuring Architecture in Films in October. On TCM's website there is a feature written in regard to this particular...
Bob Thomas also has a good discussion on Borne, supported by interviews he conducted with him (pp.123-124). In a sense, Borne is the only independent witness...
Just as I've thought of how Astaire and Helen Hayes would look together in roles when they were younger, I've wondered what a 1940s movie with Fred and...
Astaire and Rogers *kind* of did the Tracy and Hepburn thing in The Somebodys of Somewhere...in fact, they did it, and then some...in my humble opinion. ...
I've been thinking all of this time in reading Mrs. Bamberger's item about Fred with Helen Hayes in "A Family Upside Down" (which depicts a stage in life that...
I agree with you, Chris, on Fred doing dramas before 1959. I'm sure he felt that his fans wanted to see him dance more than anything else. I believe Towering ...
Had never heard this account, which I read on a blog: Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart's wife, once told Michael Parkinson, the British talk show host, that she...
Strange that Fred would be afraid of Bogie because Bogie in real life was not what he seemed. He was not a big man, nor a tough man. Grew up in a life of...
I'm a music/drama teacher & in my middle school choir/drama class, we're working on this one skit that alludes to "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." It just has...
At the conclusion of "Play It Again, Sam," the Woody Allen character says to the Bogart character: I'm probably homely enough and short enough to make it on my...
Wasn't that Cuddles Sakall in the "Benchley" role? S.K. sort of "shooed" Bogart as he might have shooed flies off of a traditional, cooling apple pie in the...
"And -- but when she made the faux pas about Walt Whitman and his chocolates he had a great sense of humor, and he absolutely roared with laughter. It wasn't...

Fred detested social dancing: "I was never a good ballroom dancer. I've even had complaints about it", and the chapter on social dancing in Giles and other...
I love the part of "Play It Again, Sam" in which Woody Allen is resisting the notion that some of "Bogart's" tough wooing advice would work for him. He says ...
Hi, Cassie. I once caught one of those brief "Word of Mouth" features on TCM, and Arlene Dahl was talking about a time when Marilyn Monroe made a glamorous...
I certainly knew who Fred Astaire was at the age of 14--and he was 76 years old by that time. Warms my heart to hear that this is still going on, nearly 20...
That is a wonderful reference to Astaire. Thanks for reminding me. Bogart was a bright man, raised high class in NYC, started his version of "The Rat Pack,"...
I don't know what the heck is going on, but I am having the hardest time reading messages on the website. When I check at home, I see messages that I cannot...
No. Although I must report that my ice cudes are cold enough. Chico Marx: "Your ice isn't cold enough either." J. ... hardest ... It's ... conversation....
Yahoo to you, too. And who are you calling screwy? The only strange thing I've noticed about the website is that for the past two days messages were listed in...

It's odd that the messages would differ on the website, though I long ago found that many of the messages in e-mail form go into my spam filter, so I will find...
One of the reasons people thought of Fred as such a gentleman, and he was, was because he was cautious about things such as opinions and offending people. This...
