If I was going to die, I wanted to be in one piece, a whole person & look pretty in my coffin. Vanity saved me. - #GeneTierney; SELF-PORTRAIT. Only prob I have w/her autobio? It’s too short. I didn’t want it to end! Neither will you. #GoodLooksGoodBooks #SUTS #TheGhostandMrsMuir
#TCMParty Discreet or self-servingly-selective to the point of skipping major films & life events? Then giving TMI re: bodily functions! The debonair looking #RayMilland’s autobio WIDE-EYED IN BABYLON should be read with caution & skepticism. #GoodLooksGoodBooks #CloseToMyHeart
Knew nothin bout the ‘It’ girl. Now thx to #ClaraBow: RUNNIN’ WILD, I'm a fan. W/a childhood beyond sad & a Hollywood that exploited her, she remained naive, good-hearted & wildly likable. The writing here dances like a 1920s Charleston! 🤩 #TCMParty #GoodLooksGoodBooks #BOTD
A LIFE OF #BarbaraStanwyck: STEEL-TRUE 1907-1940 by @VickyWilsonBook is THE Gold Standard of silver screen bios! Deeply, completely, researched. The reclusive, human, Stanwyck comes alive. The worst part? Fans have been waiting for Vol II since 2013! #GoodLooksGoodBooks #TCMParty
#TCMParty SELF-PORTRAIT by #GeneTierney is the book @macantone ws talking about. Despite hospitalizations & 32(!) shock treatments in the 1950s to ‘help’ w/mental health issues, Tierney writes @ her life w/o self-pity/bitterness. So humbling. #LeaveHerToHeaven #GoodLooksGoodBooks
If the @TheDarkPages recommends it, read it! I did. BETTE & JOAN; THE DIVINE FEUD won’t reveal anything new bout these 2 but, it’s still a whole lotta fun to read. The set-up allows comparisons thru parallel histories. Dishy-mania! #GoodLooksGoodBooks #BetteDavis #JoanCrawford
#HeRanAllTheWay; THE LIFE of #JohnGarfield makes it clear: Garfield was dealt a bad hand. He was also a man who wasn’t gonna let his wife, Drs., studios or HUAC tell him what to do. Mercurial & handsome. The public ♥️ him. #TCMParty @noirfoundation @NoirAlley #GoodLooksGoodBooks
#TCMParty Knew nothin bout the It girl. Now thx to #ClaraBow: RUNNIN’ WILD, I want to know it all! W/a childhood beyond sad & a Hollywood that exploited her, she stayed good-❤️ & wildly likable. The writing dances -can’t hurt when Jackie O is ur editor! #Wings #GoodLooksGoodBooks
@LADYDAY93_TJFGG You might enjoy reading #SterlingHayden’s autobio, WANDERER. Surprisingly, it's full of doubt not bluster. He writes A LOT @ sailing, and other things, too. But he doesn’t include 1 single pic. Which tells u all u really need to know @ Hayden. #SUTS #TCMParty #GoodLooksGoodBooks
@noirgal17 #LawrenceTierney had undeniable big screen charisma. You can see it even in this small role. His bio is pretty grim. Couldn't help but wonder if he'd been born later & was able to get the help he needed, if things would've been different for him... #TCMParty #GoodLooksGoodBooks
@MrJoeGillis #MaryAstor talks specifically about filming that final scene in DODSWORTH. And how it was to kiss #ClarkGable in RED DUST, too, in her bk: "A Life on Film." And then there's #JohnBarrymore... 🔥 #GoodLooksGoodBooks #BOTD
#TCMParty what doesn’t get said @ #TheStar is how #SterlingHayden is playing himself. A Hollywood discontent w/a poet’s ❤️ who’d rather be sailing. In his autobio WANDERER he writes: "The cars by the curb have hats of powdered snow." …pretty beautiful. #GoodLooksGoodBooks
#TCMParty Talk about an unreliable narrator... #GeorgeSanders in #MemoirsOfAProfessionalCad is all wit & froth. His default emotion? Bemusement. Even when, he said, #BetteDavis, so mad that he won an Oscar & she didn't for #AllAboutEve – spit at him! #GoodLooksGoodBooks
@noirgal17 Sooo sorry I missed this one this morning. #Dillinger is always worth watching for #LawrenceTierney. The man was #Noir personified. His bio? Read it & weep. Or shudder. #GoodLooksGoodBooks @FilmNoirUK @tcm #TCMParty
Complex & talented doesn’t begin to describe this unwanted/abused child who’s still remembered today by a name given to her thru a MGM naming contest. In A PORTRAIT OF JOAN she reveals, hides & denies like a good PR man. All a bit sad. #MildredPierce #TCMParty #GoodLooksGoodBooks
Pastrami? I like 'The Heel w/Appeal' much better. Letters arrived from women everywhere for the good guy who could play it sleazy. College grad, happy marriage, PTA dad! #DanDuryea: HEEL W/A HEART is his 1st bio, hope it’s not his last! #TCMParty #BallOfFire #GoodLooksGoodBooks
Both BODY AND SOUL & HE RAN ALL THE WAY make it clear: #JohnGarfield was dealt a bad hand. He was also a man who wasn’t gonna let his wife, Drs, studios or HUAC tell him what to do. Mercurial & handsome, the public ❤️ him. #TCMParty #ThePostmanAlwaysRingsTwice #GoodLooksGoodBooks
#TCMParty #SterlingHayden’s autobio, WANDERER, is full of doubt not bluster. Writes A LOT @ sailing not one
(good) word @ acting. And it doesn't include even 1 photo of himself! Which tells u all u need to know @ Hayden. #GoodLooksGoodBooks #NakedAlibi @NoirAlley
#TCMParty “I suppose I’m larger than life. That’s my problem. Created in a fury, I’m at home in a tempest.” #BetteDavis brashly/insightfully says in THE LONELY LIFE: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Pub. in 1962 this is Bette as force of nature!! Read & admire “The Queen.” 👑#GoodLooksGoodBooks
#TCMParty Grim. #LawrenceTierney: Hollywood’s Real Life Tough Guy is a grim bio of a troubled man from a troubled family. Alcoholism? Or self-medication? Hard to know. Info is mostly from police reports. I need a 2nd book from a kinder, more therapeutic POV. #GoodLooksGoodBooks
