Sorry but every time I watch Giant, I keep thinking that David Jacobs cribbed and mined a lot of it for Dallas, esp the backstory of how Miss Ellie and Jock got together. LOL #Giant #TCMSpotlight #DeepInTheHeartOfTexas #TCMParty

At one of the Oscars Across America events, Chris Cooper loaned that Oscar to the Ellie Fund which hosted one of those events. For a $$ donation, you got a photo taken w/it. I was one of the "guardians" of the Oscar while it was on display.

I now find that I like listening to Rock Hudson's voice. As I said somewhere, too bad he didn't tap into that-He could've had a nice voice acting/voiceover career. Colman leaned into voice work before he stopped regularly appearing onscreeen #Giant #TCMSpotlight #DeepInTheHeartOfTexas #TCMParty
