Thrilled to be with Allison Kreiser, Thelma Ritter’s granddaughter, at the first screening of “The Model and the Marriage Broker!” #TCMFF @tcm
Mary Wickes
A powerful statement about truth-telling in last night's #Oscars📷acceptance speech by @mstyslavchernov for "20 Days in Mariupol," the riveting account of war and humanitarian needs in #Ukraine. "Cinema forms memories, and memories form history." Indeed. youtube.com/watch?v=woUoSc…
Since the Oscars are clearly incapable of producing a proper, moving (or even watchable) In Memoriam, here’s @tcm’s beautiful one to clear your palate and show how it’s done right. youtu.be/i-OggxFtRLE?si… via @YouTube
With Oscars top of mind, looking for a book bursting with behind-the-scenes accounts of film and TV? Consider "Mary Wickes: I Know I've Seen That Face Before," inscribed by the author (that's me) for $38 hardcover ($2 less than Amazon). I cover shipping. Message me for details!
I’ve no idea who she is or what she did but she deserves a pulp novel and a film noir made about her no notes
As I'm constantly puzzled by the price of a cup of coffee, I enjoyed this look at what goes into it. Not sure what was happening last week when a Manhattan charged me $5 for a cup of regular coffee + my husband $4 for decaf. @rachelerman washingtonpost.com/business/inter…

Can't remember when something in the morning paper has made me laugh out loud as many times as this piece. Thx for a great start to the day, @kylebuchanan nytimes.com/2023/08/18/mov…
For those of you in Houston in September, I’ll be introducing these entertaining Thelma Ritter films at the Museum of Fine Arts! Here is a link to the dates and times: mfah.org/calendar/serie… @MFAHFilms @MFAH @MarianLuntz
@RonDeSantis @Moms4Liberty #Moms4Liberty is not a grassroots organization. It is a cynical, dark money fake front group for extremists, deploying faux outrage to promote bigotry and fringe religious views on the majority.
What a treat to meet @suesueapplegate, whose forthcoming bio of Thelma Ritter promises to be great! Who'd have guessed the biographers of Mary Wickes and Thelma Ritter would share a meal in Nacogdoches, TX, 60+ years after this photo (shot while taping Alfred Hitchcock Presents)?
Oh, no! He's brought me such pleasure for so many years. His was one of the most special radio voices I've ever heard. And such style! I was listening to him the day before he died. RIP, Donnie McKethan, and thanks, @mffisher, for this deserved tribute. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…
On the eve of the birthday of the late, great Mary Wickes (June 13, 1910), here's a shot from one of her last films, Postcards from the Edge. She was pitch-perfect as the overbearing mother to Shirley MacLaine and crotchety grandmother to Meryl Streep.
I was thumbing through @GiantFood's new Savory magazine (yeah, I'm a sucker for recipes and coupons) when this piece about LGBT-owned brands jumped out at me. With so many retailers suddenly running from their gay customers (hello, @Target), hats off to our neighborhood grocer!

@SenatorTimScott @BankingGOP Hey, aren't you the guy who whines about government overreach? Did you object when former President Trump weakened the essential protections imposed on financial institutions? They weren't asleep; they were silenced by you and your party. #SVPCollapse

I love this film, and not only because Dino is in it!
Packed house for Model And The Marriage Broker with the lovely @suesueapplegate and the also lovely Diane Baker. Great conversation about Thelma Ritter. I stood next to Diane Baker at the Roosevelt valet stand last year for awhile waiting on my car. Brush with greatness! #TCMFF
#RogerVivier serves 1960’s #frockingfabulous for #Dior, via the Bata Shoe Museum. (Don’t @ me re heel height, narrow toes, bunions, etc. Just admire them for the #fashionhistory!)
Joanna Barnes is one of my favorite things about #AuntieMame. She's gorgeous, and could obviously play a romantic co-lead in another film, but she's so comically great as the snobby, vapid, and bigoted fiancée. #TCMParty
Getting Gene’s slip from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir settled in a proper new home this afternoon. ♥️
@cmclymer @PatinkinMandy Folks: Instead of mocking someone for not knowing everything, how about, "I'm so glad you discovered this!" I love it when I read, " 'First time watching 'Taxi Driver,' or, 'Finally saw '2001.' " Great! Good on you. I envy you having that first-time experience.
The #frockingfabulous snake dress by #RobertoCavalli. And no comments about sitting down/how comfy it might be etc, because the odds are 37,900 to 1 that someone else got there first! 😉 #fashionhistory

Since Kim Novak is trending, here she is looking #frockingfabulous in 1958’s Vertigo. And here’s Edith Head’s costume sketch too!
Janet Leigh’s performance as an aging musical comedy star on Columbo is quite possibly her career best.
