I wouldn't care as long as it's Clinton or Obama. The problem is America's lurid past. This election, as predicted, has turned into a race war (exaserbated by a rabid press). After nearly 8 years of Bush, America is not looked on in the best light by the rest of the world. What the Democratic Party ...

Most of the big cities has glorious movie palaces, especially downtown. In my hometown, Kansas City, they didn't get rid of them until the multiplex idea took over in the 80s. We had The Paramount, Lowe's Midland, The Capri, The Empire, The Studio, The Roxy , all downtown. There were other theatres ...

A Great Family Experience Unlike The Byrd Theatre’s lavish 1920s-era French Renaissance decor, The Gem , built a decade later, features Art Deco architecture. The gorgeous neon-enhanced Art Deco sign harkens back to a time when movie titles and stars’ names were shouted from giant marquis and names...

The selection of awardees is alway suspect. Take the C. B. DeMille Awards. Can you imagine Lauren Bacall being honored and not Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine ? Both ladies, along with Richard Widmark and Tony Curtis , have been ignored by the AFI, the Oscars (even though both ladies have rece...

Any pics of Keely Smith, i adore her, a true contempory of Doris'. http://i25.tinypic.com/2cfbpkw.jpg After hearing The Essential Capitol Collection some listeners will no doubt be left pondering why the names of Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Peggy Lee, Dinah Shore, Kay Starr, Patti Page, Anita O'Da...

Review: Married Life The opening credits for Ira Sachs’ third feature, Married Life, are a movie unto themselves, an agitated succession of post-WWII suburbanite symbology (generic, mathematically spaced table settings, paisley wallpaper possessed of a decidedly Charlotte Perkins Gilman-esque patin...

Doesn't it seem strange that Doris Day would be offered a special Oscar and it didn't get leaked to the press before the Oscars, this after all the campaigns for her to be honored? Liz Smith nor Rex Reed knew anything? The press knows everytime some starlette changes her underwear. The Academy, whic...

People write a lot of things. I think if that had happened, it would have been big news in the United States. The press would have made a field day out of this type of news. Doris Day Turns Down Special Oscar for Sick Dog . Couldn't you just hear the TV rag show hosts going on and on, ad nausem, whi...

I'm just happy people will finally get the chance to see "Starlift." It's not a Doris Day film. Day and others like Cagney, Roman, Mayo and Gordon have cameos visiting an air force base. Day is cute as hell, but the real stars of the picture are Janice Rule and Dick Haggerty , I think his name was. ...

Just imagine these rags getting a current picture of Doris Day . If she looks less than YOUNG, they will go overboard showing her "old and wrinkled" and the late night shows will have a field day. Also, Entertainment Tonight and the countless showbiz rag shows will run the photos, ad nauseum, just t...

Hi all --- I just bought this book - The Song Stars by Richard Grudens, published in 1997. Its about big band girl singers. It has a chapter on Doris - with some interviews with Doris talking about her band days and her thoughts on life. It also has some quotes from Les Brown. It says that the inte...

First, bookmark TINY PICS : http://www.tinypic.com/ If I find a picture online that I want to post within a posting that I'm making. I will save the picture on my desktop , where I can find it easily. If the picture needs cropping, re-sizing, etc., I'll do that first. When you want to put a picture ...

Ralph, I don't dispute what you say but my comment was based on what Doris has said many times, in her book and in many interviews that she does not like watching her films, she wants to do it all again. In the 1993 PBS documentary she said it again when she said something along the lines of 'I don...

When you look back at Lauren Bacall's career, she was never a top boxoffice star, but a leading lady on the same level as Dorothy Malone, Debra Paget, Yvonne De Carlo, Rhonda Fleming, Arlene Dahl and Joanne Dru . I think many of the awards shows gave her these A-List awards because she was married t...

Of course as we all know, that would never have happened, at any time, not least due to Doris' aversion to watching herself on screen! I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I don't think Doris minds watching herself on the screen. During the absolutely ridiculous clips that were chosen for the C. ...

Academy Awards: Greg Hernandez's red carpet snapshots... http://i27.tinypic.com/8wa0kn.jpg Jane Russell graced the red carpet, still looking lovely in her 80s. I wonder why the Academy doesn't award an honorary Oscar to someone like Doris Day or Lauren Bacall ? It would give the proceedings such a ...

For real... I don't understand how songs as good as Doris Day's and her great movies... didn't get nominated for jack squat... pardon my french... lol The stuff that gets nominated today is usually trash or crappy... it's good once in a while but never as good as the great Doris Day's Music, overal...

Doris Day has CHOSEN not to appear in public for personal reasons. She might be healthy and fit, but chooses not to make public appearances. This could have to do with privacy or it could have to do with protecting her public image. Most of us have to agree that when Doris accepted the C. B. DeMill...

I am sorry I missed the show then, what were the clips and is the in memorium a new segmentm for the show? I don't even know what films were nominated this year! Go to: http://www.oscar.com or http://www.imdb.com Foreigners swept the acting awards: France, Spain, England (2). Funny. In other countr...

They showed Jane Wyman, Betty Hutton, Lorraine Day and Delbert Mann , director of "Touch of Mink" w/ clip of Cary Grant taking off Doris'Day 's mink stole and a still of Doris sitting on a ladder putting a record on a poster advertising the movie ,"Julie" and her Columbia recording, with Johnny Gran...

Those of you who live in the United States...you know how cruel these pundits are. I've heard comics and late night hosts make fun of Liz Taylor since she looks more like Louella Parsons now and Joan Rivers , who made her career making fun of the FAT Liz is now the butt of many jokes because of her ...

Ralph wrote: "You see how Doris Day dominates the cover." Fans like us know it's a non-story, dressed up as an 'exclusive' for people who haven't kept up with her life post-Hollywood. But, yes, it's strange that it's given more prominence than the 'story' about Barack Obama, which sounds like he 'm...

You see how Doris Day dominates the cover. She sells. For years, these rags have promised or "hinted at" revelations about Doris and other private celebs, only to reveal nothing except that they won't talk to them and spill their guts about their personal lives. They've tried to link Day with variou...

What would you expect and 84 year old to be doing? Cartwheels and bopping around the town? Doris has a grand house and her beloved pets around her and if I where that age I would be doing the same!!! At 55 I hardly get out except for work!!! This is just a headline grabbing thing and they did this ...

Loved Ginger Rogers . She was apart of one of my all-time favorite movies, "Stage Door" with Katharine Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, Ann Miller and Constance Collier ("My dear, are you in the theatre?") This is the movie where Kate utters those famous lines, "The Calla Lillies are in bloom again...
