Helen Morgan: The Original Torch Singer and Ziegfeld’s Last Star Author Christopher S. Connelly
Season 10, Episode 6
My guest is Christopher S. Connelly, author of Helen Morgan: The Original Torch Singer and Ziegfeld’s Last Star. Morgan was a hugely popular singer and actress who set the template for musical theater performance style. We talked about Morgan’s big heart, her deeply emotional connection with audiences, and how her approach to life was more Auntie Mame than as the downtrodden songstress she has been typically rumored to be.

Classic Film Noir In Color
มุมมอง 51821 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
[Time-stamped list of films below] The thought of classic film noir movies typically evokes shadowy black and white images, but there are lots of color films with the fatalistic themes, tropes, and even the shadows commonly seen in film noir.

The Brief, Fabulous Screen Career of Grace Kelly
มุมมอง 545หลายเดือนก่อน
[Time Stamped List of Films Below] Grace Kelly was as graceful as her name, but she had more edge, wit, and passion than seems to be collectively remembered about her. She became a star, won an Academy Award, and made several classics in a short, but busy span of years. While she never returned to Hollywood after her marriage to Prince Ranier of Monaco, she did appear in a few projects as herse...

Film noir in restored black and white (especially sound) is a worthwhile pursuit. I am not opposed to colorized film noir. People should have a choice. I choose not to watch it.
Amazing! Shelley Winters' over the top performance (and hats) and the track "Too risky a day for a regatta" are the only reasons to watch the hilariously bad movie Tentacoli.
How can one woman be so beautiful ,I don't think there has ever been anyone as beautiful as her she's a one of WoW ,and a WAR HERO.
She was astonishingly talents and un
Love will not be stopped by time. Loves is Eternal. Love will not be stopped by where you are in this Universe... Love IS,,,,, Love is God. Through His Son Jesus we are all saved. It is a choice, Believe or not.... Its your choice. We still love you anyway. Please come Home. Believe.
It would be wonderful if there was a color version of every black and movie.
Liv8ng the dream, ma baker 😅
Mamma mia! Magnifico, perfetto, instancabile...e poi di una bellezza struggente. Bravissimo Delon. Poteva fare una carriera in America tranquillamente...ma avrà fatto le sue scelte. Rimane comunque un grandissimo e instancabile attore internazionale. Addio Monsieur Delon.❤🙏 Stupidaggine:ma da amante dei profumi dico indimenticabile anche la sua pubblicità x Sauvage di C.Dior.⭐⭐⭐❤️
They were great together ❤️
Talk about talent. ❤❤❤
Hi grandma!❤ ☠️
Unfortunately, being known primarily as a comedian, Lucille Ball isn't recognized enough for her beauty. She had a flawless complexion, fabulous figure, fiery red hair, and lovely long legs! No wonder she was a model, and a dancer.
Nothing New Under the Sun !
See - Gold Diggers of 1933 !
Sara Montiel had a case of the *best*
Tragic very beautiful woman bless her❤
Magnetic
Loved the song at the end! Your harmonies are immaculate!
Holy cow
Bette Davis 's eyes!!!!
I would have put baby doll beagle from Duck Tales too
check out Gold-diggers of 1933 !
My favorite actress ever. Gorgeously unique Bette Davis! ❤❤
They Hated Each other

A lot of loafer lightener being used.
But Edward Everett Horton played for the other team.

No va a existir otro Alain Delon. Tu belleza fue y será incomparable.

I love your compilations so much! A great Bette impersonation was done by T. C. Jones in Promises! Promises! (1963), right after doing an equally great Tallulah Bankhead one, opposite Jayne Mansfield 😃
Oh that's right, thanks for reminding me of that one!
