Hollywood Elsewhere (Free subscription) | yesterday
Yesterday Sunset Gun's Kim Morgan posted a very nice q & a interview with Eva Marie Saint. A little too nice, if you ask me. Older showbiz folk tend to either recall their lives in a naked-blunt Klaus Kinski style (i.e., "I'm too old to muddy my memories with even a smidgen of bullshit") or with excessive fondness. Saint lives in the latter camp. Every big name she's worked with (Marlon...

Kim Morgan - my favorite writer out there (she writes at Sunset Gun) - just flagged me as one of the writers she "reads religiously" this recent interview. I am beyond flattered. First of all: I love her. I want...

My second film in my Yesterday’s Films, Today’s Issues series is going to be another Elia Kazan film (there was recently a Kazan retro in NYC ).

My favorite actor ever (yes, the tippity top ) would have been turned 89 this past Saturday had he lived. Not that he would have lived to be 89 but still... I'm sad that I forgot. I always feel I should write about him more often. I did try to spur on the communal writing with that blog-a-thon a couple years back. At least there was that. Thankfully Kim Morgan did not forget and wrote up a beautiful...

Kim Morgan reminds me that yesterday was the birthday of Montgomery Clift. Her essay is not to be missed. But I could say that about every one of her posts. Kim writes: Clift’s eyes held secrets, and not merely...
