During a discussion preceding the film, a very well-prepared DeHavilland talked about her career, specifically focusing on the making of <i>The Heiress</i>. She looked and sounded great, and her observations were insightful and wonderful. <br /><br />Even the ultra-precise <i>Jeopardy</i> forgot about Rainer several years ago. The "Final Jeopardy" question/answer asked for the first peformer to win two Best Actress Oscars before the age of thirty. Jeopardy stated Jodie Foster was the correct response, but unfortunately over fifty years before that Rainer won Oscar #2 at age 28 (luckily, no one had the right answer, so the outcome was not affected).Vertigo's Psychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701774152300870403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-81175223997903152872009-08-09T19:25:17.736-04:002009-08-09T19:25:17.736-04:00That interview with Olivia de Havilland was divine...That interview with Olivia de Havilland was divine.<br />Having rewatched "Gone With the Wind" a few weeks ago I have to agree when the writer says it's not easy to make a flesh and blood saint, but Olivia's Melanie does just that.<br />I didn't like her the first time I saw the movie, I distrust the selfless goody two shoes and always expected her to pull off a big revenge on Scarlett, by film's end when she didn't I felt ashamed of myself.<br />I would've given her the Oscar that year in a heartbeat, even if Hattie's win is something nobody can disagree with!Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36358875988659600182009-08-09T17:56:26.373-04:002009-08-09T17:56:26.373-04:00Loved some of those links, Nathaniel.

A...Loved some of those links, Nathaniel. Thanks...<br /><br />Also - Meryl absolutely, no way, CANNOT win her third in supporting. I just can't allow it. I know everyone had a go at me for saying this last time round, but it would just be plain wrong when she's only had 3 supporting noms (out of 15) so far - 2 of those right at the beginning of her career. I think she herself would be a little disappointed if that happened to be the case.

I can't wait till she goes back to the red hair. Speaking of the red hair, I'm praying that in Spider-Man 4, Mary-Jane at least buys herself a gun to keep in her purse. She's been kidnapped by three different super-villains now. Homegirl needs to be more proactive.<br /><br />with The Time Traveler's Wife (a movie i'm extremely excited to see because i have nothing but love for the book), i knew they were going to have to revise some things, but most of the buzz surrounding the revisions has not been positive. <br />i'm curious about what they changed (i heard the ending was a big one) but i'm too scared to read anything. I would much rather be surprised and make my own opinion about the changes.Derreckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753119043647198637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-67301949780462739212009-08-09T00:53:26.001-04:002009-08-09T00:53:26.001-04:00This has nothing to do with any of the links, but ...This has nothing to do with any of the links, but whilst cruising through Nat's old reviews I came upon a very interesting sentence...<br /><br />"since it's really all about Renée and her considerable charm, it works fantastically" (on Bridget Jones's Diary)<br /><br />Quite funny how taste evolves... or more like how Zellweger was brilliant at the beginning of the decade.Bernardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535653809166347030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-27045232145941032752009-08-09T00:29:50.654-04:002009-08-09T00:29:50.654-04:00"She is not, as this article implies, the old..."She is not, as this article implies, the oldest living Oscar winner."<br /><br />Would Shirley Temple (Black) count?

I suppose it's the innocent beauty thing. I do hope she finishes her memoirs. I love the shout out to Rainer's <i>The Good Earth</i>...which I've never seen actually. Have you?
