Amazing to think about all the changes she saw first hand in Hollywood since her youth. Side note, she was married to director Richard L. Bare who died in 2015 at the age of 101. Bare directed 7 Twilight Zone episodes including To Serve Man

Last year we lost Marsha Hunt at 104 (1917-2022) before that Norman Lloyd at 106 (1919-2021) & Olivia de Havilland at 104 (1916-2020)

Norman Lear is 101, Glynis Johns just turned 100 last Thursday, Mel Brooks is 97.

Glad to see PTA doing on-screen commentary at TCM. I love it when directors are interviewed there.

I’ve seen 3 of the 5. The 2 I haven’t seen are the British ones, Night Ambush and Victim. Will set my calendar for all.

All this meshugaas has me pining for TCM's halcyon days of Robert Osborne.

French Connection has one of the greatest car chase scenes in film history. Popeye Doyle was a great bad ass cop with serious anger issues.

Sure. I'll give it a go. There's a lot to talk about on the subject.

Would love to see discussion of classic Noir which would also be inclusive of Neo-Noir.
