It's still the film and performance I most associate with him.<br /><br />Also happy birthday to the fabulous Allison Janney and Gillo Pontecorvo.Y Kant Goran Ritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058411467996289416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-523390841551965392009-11-19T16:53:48.760-05:002009-11-19T16:53:48.760-05:00Gene Tierney was born November 20.Gene Tierney was born November 20.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-65025296641292397852009-11-19T15:55:18.941-05:002009-11-19T15:55:18.941-05:00*has

I loved how you could see muffin top and some belly fat in Duplicity. Love that about her.<br /><br />2) I miss Meg Ryan so much. You've Got Mail - ah, perfection! She is just so lovely in it - and she's, what, pretty much 40 there, right? I wish she didn't have to get all embittered and hardened after all the criticism she received over Crowe affair, trout pout and, gasp, turning 40. Forget all that Meg and come back!xxamir_uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-26222056418943002142009-11-19T14:35:03.369-05:002009-11-19T14:35:03.369-05:00Whitney -- she did deny it yes, which is part of t...Whitney -- she did deny it yes, which is part of the problem. But even when the actresses accept the aging, people turn on them. as far as I can tell Julia Roberts hasn't had any work done and people seem really vicious about her all of a sudden too.<br /><br />Anon -- yeah the affair was part of the problem, too. I can't remember how old she was then.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-83393489997366887852009-11-19T14:33:19.240-05:002009-11-19T14:33:19.240-05:00Ah but MrW...

To anyone under 40 who is really into movies (i.e. the IMDb populace) he's undoubtedly mostly known, if he's known at all, from LAURA. To people who actually lived through the 1940s or 1950s I'd be hugely surprised if they didn't think of 'Mr. Belvedere' first. I mean, the character was popular enough to get three films... and he even got an oscar nomination for that, a lead role in a comedy. Must have been very very popular back in the day.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-15466931390106511962009-11-19T14:26:21.401-05:002009-11-19T14:26:21.401-05:00Just one more: Gillo Pontecorvo, director of '...Just one more: Gillo Pontecorvo, director of 'The Battle of Algiers' was born 90 years ago today.<br /><br />But are you certain Webb is best known as Mr. Belvedere? No one who has seen 'Laura' will ever forget Waldo Lydecker (one of <i>the</i> classic supporting characters), and if the number of votes on the IMDb can be trusted as some kind of indicator how many people have watched a film (even though admittedly IMDb voters aren't exactly representative of the general population), 'Laura' has been seen by more than ten times as many people than all Belvedere films combined.MrWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-31032229388039803382009-11-19T13:24:36.702-05:002009-11-19T13:24:36.702-05:00Gene Tierney is ridiculously attractive, and had q...Gene Tierney is ridiculously attractive, and had quite the interesting life.
