After seeing her last night on Dancing with the Stars, I would vote for Katherine Jenkins.
She can definitely sing and it appears she can dance.

I just realized that on my birthday (April 4th), I'll get to watch Doris Day movies. What a great present!

The schedule I was able to locate on the TCM website shows movies every night from the 2nd through the 6th.

The Hershey (PA) Theater runs classic movies once a month over the winter.
On Feb. 12th, for Valentine's Day, they ran Pillow Talk! The place was packed. It was great. I sat about 7 rows from the front just so no one would sit in front of me.

The mermaid costume sold at the most recent Debbie Reynolds auction. $4500, I think. Well above the estimate.

James Garner

Rock Hudson

and Brian Keith (if they didn't already have their own shows, a TV show with the two of them would have run for years )

Woo Hoo! I was the lucky bidder on one of the Jumbo costumes. It will be difficult to patiently await it's arrival.

Hello all,

It's been a while since I visited. I wanted to let you all know that I started a Facebook campaign to try to get Doris her much deserved Oscar. Please visit the page. It titled the same as the title of this topic.

Thanks
Ellenarden

The sets I have are 11"x14" and all the sets that I am collecting for the 39 films contain 8 cards. I have never seen any American 12 sets for any of Ms Day's films. The only film for which I do not have any cards is The Man Who Knew Too Much. I have 23 complete sets and 9 sets that only need 1 to 3...

I've seen the pressbooks but haven't started collecting yet. I'm working on the complete set of lobby cards from all 39 films. Have about three-quarters so far. There are some which are very difficult to get.

When I returned home last evening the local Public Broadcasting System (PBS) station was running a special called "The Big Band Years". It was hosted by Peter Marshall. I watched for two reasons. 1) because I like Big Band music, especially Glenn Miller. and 2) I knew at some point they'd cover Les ...

Doris and Rock were best friends and you don't normally marry your best friends, Ray, do you? :) You probably wouldn't remain best friends for long! Plus Rock was still hanging out with the boys. :wink: People do need to marry their best friends. After the hot passionate romance fades you need to k...

Don't shoot the messenger. I think that may have been said on TCM.

Stanley Donen directed what's been called "the best Hitchcock movie that Hitchcock never made", Charade.

A mural is a large picture painted or affixed directly on a wall or ceiling. Greatly enlarged photographs may also be used. A mural is like a trompe l'oeil.

:idea: that's the light bulb going on in my head. I recall reading several years ago that in order to have a wax figure done, the individual has to be measured extensively and have numerous photos taken. I feel certain that a woman who expresses every year that she doesn't know why a fuss is made ov...

Shirley Jones is great. And, I'm proud to say, a Pennsylvania girl like myself.

That reminds me of a Maxine (the grouchy cartoon lady) quote
"Every day I wake up on the right side of the flower bed is a good one"

As a contempory, Jean Simmons.
I've recently really discovered what a talented actress she is. The Big Country was great and I cannot fathom why she did not get an Oscar nomination for Elmer Gantry. The Grass is Greener is another good vehicle with an outstanding cast (Grant/Kerr/Simmons/Mitchum)

I hate to sound like my sister (I'll explain later) but didn't Edie Adams pass away last year? Small aside - about my sister - We were in line waiting for the doors to open for Guys & Dolls last month. This older, very well dressed, woman walked past me and I said "That's Ruta Lee" to which my siste...

Here's an interesting link. Last name on page.

I also can't stand Rush and I'm a Rep. (Middle of the road; can't stand the political bickering either) I knew Doris was a Rep also, but I find it hard believe she subscribes to the over the top views of Rush's. I agree with LPT. I can admire someone's talents without agreeing with their personal vi...

I recently had to make the decision of how much was too much. The Fleetwood Mac tour was coming to Philadelphia and I really wanted to see them. Until I found out the tickets were $175.00 each. That wouldn't have been the only expense. The trip to Philly is a tank of gas. I'm sure we would have gone...

Really nice pictures. Thanks.

Raintree County was a great movie.
