"It's got a backbeat you can't blues it... any ol' time you use it!" Unless you're doing #SpellingBee. Then you can't use BACKBEAT at all.

Me when it's June Allyson day on TCM.

Detroit-born hubs and me at tonight's Yankees-Tigers game.

Trump is darkening Yankee Stadium on 9/11. I wonder if he'll make a speech? Maybe recall how he bragged about having the tallest NY building after the Towers fell (he didn't), or how he grifted hundreds of thousands from a 9/11 aid fund, or how he lied about losing 100s of friends (he lost no one).

Excuse me #SpellingBee but COCKBLOCK(S) and BOLLOCK(S) are perfectly lovely words.

Five-day workweeks, paid sick leave, holidays and vacation, workplace safety regulations, child-labor bans, worker's comp, etc.? Thank a...

Always. Listen. To. The. Cat. Lady.

Fay Wray and Amelia Earhart at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Rarely did George Brent get to play as bold a character as he was in real life; years before coming to Hollywood he proudly fought in the war for Irish independence.

Gorgeous portrait of Clark Gable by Laszlo Willinger for IDIOT'S DELIGHT, 1939.

Marlene Dietrich thwacking a papparazzo with her pocketbook, 1975.

Spoiler alert!

What becomes a legend most? Faux fur! Doris Day, Amanda Blake, Jayne Meadows, Angie Dickinson and Mary Tyler Moore strutting their cruelty-free style in an ad for the Fund for Animals, 1974.

Happy Birthday Robert Redford! Here with his kitty.

The great Shirley Chisholm once said, "If they don't offer you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." Lots of European leaders are bringing folding chairs to the White House today to support Zelensky in his meeting with Putin's puppet.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to one of my TV husbands and the best Columbo villain ever, Robert Culp, here killing it (so to speak) in a canary yellow jacket. God I love this man.

If you're looking for me I'll be here. (Ava and Deborah between scenes of Night of the Iguana)

Apparently his <checks notes> sixth lavish trip on the taxpayer dime is not going well.

Find a friend who looks at you the way these two look at each other. #NorthByNorthwest

Greta Garbo's passport photo, 1940.

Happy Alfred Hitchcock's Birthday! Why not celebrate at a cozy inn or amusement park?

Jane Greer and Rudy Vallee on their wedding day, December 1943. One of my favorite WTF couples, they divorced seven months later.

"Who the hell is buying up all the cans of Campbell's tomat-- oh." Happy Heavenly Birthday Andy Warhol!

Happy Birthday Billy Bob Thornton!

Today in 1954 REAR WINDOW premiered at the Rivoli Theatre in NYC. All proceeds from the evening were donated to the Korean-American Foundation, established after the Korean War.

Heading out tonight to see a gloriously un-Sphere-ified Sunset Boulevard! Just hubs, me, popcorn, and a glorious un-screwed-with print on the big screen.

Bartender kitty, 1899, UK National Archives.

"As this center comes to reflect and advance the greatness of America, consider then those glories were purchased by a valiant leader who never swerved from duty--John Kennedy. And in his name I dedicate this site."

Goodnight, dear Blue Sky friends!

Hitch "enjoying" a go cart at Cannes, 1966.

Doug Jr. and Joan as newlyweds.

Props to the brilliant Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch but I think the most complex, moving and natural performance in Network was William Holden's. I also think Beatrice Straight absolutely earned her Oscar no matter how brief her role; she went through about forty emotions in one scene. #TCMParty

Trying to follow the plot of Chase a Crooked Shadow but I keep getting distracted every time a tanned and gorgeous Herbert Lom shows up. #TCMParty

A thumbs up from Robert Duvall with his pups.

If you're looking for me I'll be here. (Ida Lupino and Ann Sheridan dancing between scenes of They Drive By Night.)

Some folks collect stamps, others coins; I collect weird/inappropriate publicity pix. Here are some of my faves! sistercelluloid.com/2025/07/22/t...

It's only the 1920s and Myrna has already fecking had it with cheesecake shots.

"If you want to find out about people, go broke or get sick." -- Pearl Bailey (in a killer blouse)

Fifty-six years ago today we landed two men on the moon and the possibilities for enlightenment seemed limitless. An hour ago I bought a pedometer that came with a warning not to eat the battery...

Hubs has assured me that if he ever decides to cheat in a huge stadium with a fecking Jumbotron, it will be at a Lions game.

Hitch checking in with Larry and Joan between scenes of Rebecca.

Today in 1938 Walter Neff narrated his confession in Double Indemnity.

Joan Crawford doing her best impersonation of the person who always sits in front of me at the movies.

Baby Anthony Hopkins.
