It was incredibly moving to walk among the Warner’s Archives. You wouldn’t believe the riches! Thank you @tcmtv.bsky.social and @eddiemuller.bsky.social for this rare treat. I’ll talk Barbara Stanwyck any day.
Chatted with my old friend John Levey.

This is one of the most disturbing stories I have ever read. How do these women ever trust again? The case in France has started a reckoning. My heart goes out to all of them.

Dr Megan Hunt would have loved the Collezione delle Cere Anatomiche in Bologna. 17th century! I will spare you the more graphic photos. Can you tell what’s off with the man in the 3rd photo?

Jeffrey directed me in my first play at Wesleyan, The Real Inspector Hound. A lovely, talented, modest man who really knew his old Hollywood history. And his Bway Women on the Verge should have gotten more love! They're calling our class.

This is the exact spot where I was T-boned by a Metro bus while driving. They speed up after their bus stop to make a red light. From what I’ve heard, it might be suicide which is tragic. But the buses are reckless.

The Comeback is so good it's almost too painful to watch. There's a tragic heart at its center this season that's so sad and human. Before it was viciously good, now it's about the death knell of Hollywood. That it has even come back is a miracle. And Jack O’Brien!

Like all his leading ladies, I am an unabashed fan of George Brent. Watched (new to me) Stamboul Quest last night @tcmtv.bsky.social and it reminded me why. He seems to be having a ball, taking the piss out of the women. You can see Myrna Loy trying very hard not to laugh. And falling a bit in love.

The sublime Sylvia Sidney. I devoured every word. Only wish they let her talk more about Dorothy Arzner. If you haven’t see Sidney and “Freddie” March in Merrily We Go to Hell, get on it!

TCM does it better than anyone. Sadly, every year there are more of my friends. 🖤
As the year comes to a close, TCM remembers the actors, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year.

I have a strip of grass in front of my house where people let their dogs poop and rarely pick it up. Or if they do, it's smeared all over the grass and kills it.
