Classic Magical Ladies

Died on this day: consummate character actress (and scene stealer par excellence) - Agnes Moorehead (6 December 1900 – 30 April 1974)! Moorehead significantly improves every film she appears in simply by virtue of her presence. Off the top of my head, some of my favourite Moorehead performances would include: Citizen Kane (1941) of course; the 1947 film noir Dark Passage – ostensibly a vehicle for Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, but it’s Moorehead in a secondary role who makes the indelible impression; as the sympathetic and progressive prison superintendent in Caged (1950); as Jane Wyman’s bitchy socialite friend and neighbour in Douglas Sirk’s masterpiece All That Heaven Allows (1955); as Countess de Brion in The Opposite Sex (1956) and as the tough-as-nails bleached blonde brothel madam (and Jane Russell’s employer) in The Revolt of Mamie Stover (1956). But even in her ignominious final feature film – the no-budget hagsploitation horror flick Dear Dead Delilah (1971) – Moorehead is majestic. (We screened Delilah as our Lobotomy Room film club “Halloween presentation" a few years ago to a packed house!). And her status as a beloved gay icon is forever assured from her stint as Elizabeth Montgomery's flame-haired mother, the ultra-campy, drag queen-like Endora (pictured) in the TV series Bewitched.

Headcanon: Pugsley is the only neurotypical Addams, and the family has one of those ‘I love my neurotypical son’ bumper stickers completely unironically.

Carolyn Jones and John Astin as Morticia and Gomez Addams on the cover of TV Guide (October 31st - November 6th, 1964 issue), and Yvonne De Carlo and Fred Gwynne as Lily and Herman Munster on the cover of TV Guide (July 10th - July 16th, 1965 issue). Both sitcoms debuted days apart on different networks, The Addams Family on ABC on September 18th, 1964 and The Munsters on CBS on September 24th, 1964. They were also both cancelled within weeks of each other, The Addams Family on April 8th, 1966 and The Munsters on May 12th, 1966. Both sitcoms found enduring success later on in syndicated global re-runs, spawning reunion shows, movies, re-imagined series, and a seemingly endless amount of merchandise that continues to inspire new fans to this very day.

I don't mention it enough, but one of my most favourite Hollywood people is Henry Winkler. He's absurdly adorable.

He's done an interview with Ted Danson, and it's definitely worth watching-- especially if you have an interest in classic tv. He talks about his Hollywood career, as well as his 41st book which is comi

Here's his Robert De Niro story.

kind of cunty of rené artois to fake his death and come back as his own twin then lie about it to the faces of people he's known for ages in the middle of a war.
