In my mind I can hear Francis singing "Who's Sorry Now" just like it was back in 1958.

Well, apparently it was only 18 karat gold, so I'd probably never bother using it..😄 Jokes aside, I can't imagine the mind of someone who thought that was a great idea, no matter who much money they had.

I loved the Jayne Mansfield era. Everyone knew she was a "B" version of Marilyn Monroe, but we liked her anyway. The documentary is very well done. I suspect it's a two hanky experience for the lady viewers.

I always remember what a thrill it was in the late '50s to travel to downtown Pittsburgh during the Holidays to shop at Gimbels (which originated in Pgh) and Kaufmann's. The stores were 8-10 stories full of everything one could imagine, and were beautifully decked out for Christmas. Later on...

I really enjoyed Joanne Woodward's performance in Three Faces of Eve (1957), for which she won the Oscar. It was rare, and very believable, for her to portray a vampy, sexy woman in a role. Jean Smart blew me away in her role as First Lady Martha Logan in the 5th season (2006) of the great 24...

I agree re Cage, although I loved him in Raising Arizona (1987). IMO Streep is the Barbara Stanwyck of the late 20th-dearly 21st Centuries. I'd prefer if she'd kept her opinions to herself, but she's certainly a great actress.

Those catalogs were huge! Looking back, it must have cost them a fortune to send out tens of thousands of those! Seems like you could order almost anything through the mail-- and that was decades before Amazon.

That's good news, I think. Leanne Morgan is my favorite comedienne. She's a riot in stand-up, but it will be interesting to see if she can have the same effect in a sitcom. Reportedly it premieres on July 31 on Netflix.

Hadn't heard of that one, Marcy. Will check it out.

Hepburn was great in that. It's amazing that she pulled off a blind role!

Yeah, O'Neal was good in "Crowd" for sure. It was a phenomenal break out role for Andy Griffith.

I too loved the old five and dime stores. Growing up in Pittsburgh in the '50s there were bunches of Kresge's, Murphy's, and Woolworths. Most of them were large-- some having two floors, and all had lunch ounters. Seemed like one could get most anyything in them.

Okay, Mark. This thread isn't getting a lot of love, so let's switch now to best actress performances. Sheppard is a good one. Who would be a second one? BTW I also was knocked out by Cloris Leachman's performance in "Picture Show". I'll throw out 2: Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity...

My cousin worked at the dress barn in Columbus, Ohio for years. She loved it.

Me too. And Montgomery Wards.
