coppola put her in rumblefish as Diane Lane's little sister

Oh the cries of DEI!. The Good Earth was written by Pearl Buck, the daughter of White Christian Missionaries and was written in English for, -shock - White people. As far as casting goes, the powerful Jews of Hollywood - like Louis B Mayer (Lazar Meir) made the decision casting Paul Muni (Frederich Meshilem Meier Weisenfreund) and Rainer who of course were both Jews. This was a country of a white majority, and Hollywood made films for WHITE audiences who were buying tickets and didn't worry too much about offending the sensibilities of an Asian minority which consisted of 254K people out of a nation of 131 MILLION. (1940 Census)

Awwww now I feel bad for saying she was bad in it. She tried. Bless her.

34:54 you havent seen the half of "it". i fking love that. people dont do media play like this anymore

If you read Maria Riva's book on Marlene Dietrich, she talks about how Marlene made comments to Maria about Joan's children seemed to be bruised often and suspected Joan of hitting them.

Suddenly the movie has been stripped of its allure, now that I know the truth. Thanks a lot. 🩵😂

100% true. I use to live in a destertd beach neighborhood. I'd play this half mile away loud, I got nothing but who is this?

Joan Crawford=my foster mother 😮 ... The beauty of the movie is that in the movie mommy is seen as the psycho .... In my actual life, I was the one that ended up on meds 😢

The more things change, the more they sometimes stay the same.

I would love a video on Joanna Cassidy and what might have kept her from being a major star. 🤔

25:10 Miranda from "Sex and the City" ❤

Why not Cher? Now I see I wasn't the only one asking the question. 🧐🤣

BASED KING JIMMY CARTER

Gosh, that bit about "not only are we killing people in Vietnam, but here at home our souls are being tampered with and we do not like it" is ... rather resonant at the present moment

I must ask, is it wrong to love movies like Judas & The Black Messiah and BlacKKKlansman, while on the other spectrum love movies like Green Book and The Help? Because if so...there are several black people that want you to know they exist and they like what they like. 😊❤

THIS is why I think it’s such a pity that our current financial situation, in which upper middle class wealth is the required for someone to become an actor or prominent artist, prevents working-class perspectives in entertainment and headlines. Instead we have wealthy people who are out of touch with working class concerns like, giving us rose-colored glasses in the form of our entertainment, which makes us see our world with a strange and privileged perspective.

Stevie Nicks wrote a beautiful song called Garbo” I wasn’t born until 1961 .i didnt even know she Swedish So I,am interested in finding out more about this lady

A good movie should be made about her and her life.

Nobody wouldn't know whose she was if not if this movie 🤔

Joan Crawford was beautiful, talented and a true icon. She does not get nearly enough praise for her talent.

All the comments saying about 12 notes or Octave, yes it was a mistake. it’s all about the 12 notes in an octave. BUT in the same regard music is the same as an act in cinema. The cast is the the notes, the scenes are the octave and the producers and directors are the conductors

Good God. You made it about race. NVM Liza Manilli's talent. You are an idiot.

I discovered Toni Collette for the first time in Clockwatchers

You have ignored the Indian remake of these movies, called Aashiqui 2. There is also a Tollywood version called Nee Jathaga Nenundali.

One of my fondest childhood memories was watching this movie annually on CBS.

Well, nearly every Oscar is rigged and the resultcof Influenza and marketing. Thats an open secret.

Odd that she was always called black and negro. She was a quater black and half white

And now 22 years of iraq so many people dying for no reason, nobody seems to care anymore.

10:01 "No pretty girl would ever study chemistry or physics," is even more laughable given Hedy Lamarr

So let's be clear...David ruined Ingrid and Marion Davies career by accident? Something isn't adding up lol

Anne Bancroft: Gorilla at Large Joan Crawford: TROG!

Crazy that they nicknamed her after a single movie she was in, when it seems every film she was in was a "Clara Bow movie".

We have come so far, and all it takes is a subtle turning away from progess to be back into trauma and crisis mode. Today, I imagine that a meeting with the first lady would require opinions being shared and openly discussed, especially with entertainers and artists who are often expected to change the mood of a room and beyond. I think Lady Bird felt challenged because Kitt did what she could not. I cringe that you undermined the physical threat of violence the first lady likely felt being a supporter of the Civil Rights movement. You don't have to go that far, to project what someone felt or didn't feel in a time you are too white and privileged yourself to appreciate. It's a shame but the real beauty would have been for these two gorgeous women to make peace. They should have both gone on Dick Cavet to have an informal discussion. Dick Cavet was probably too suggestive for Lady Bird, he could really push the envelope sometimes with female guests. Great video, you have definitely pushed with this one. It matters, A LOT.

Audrey effortlessly became a fashion icon; she did at least two layouts for an American magazine in the middle 1950s as a legitimate model, not as a movie star showing off the costumes from her latest film. And she looks excellent in these photos too - totally like an actual trained model.

What an underrated beauty she was, Myrna too, must be them Welsh genes. Sucks that she'd been made to settle for an "our bad" consolation award. Dark Victory and Little Foxes would've been more fitting wins, but honestly ain't no damned way she'd have won over Vivien Leigh that year. I didn't hate Colbert's win the year before.

This would have benefited from more actual clips of Bankhead speaking, not just the visuals, and less blah.blah from the narrator. Tiresome.

I don't care about her personal life. In my mind, she is a phenomenal actress

One of the deciding factors in hiring Hayward was she was available and the same size as Judy. No wardrobe alterations were necessary. Also, during the wig scene, Helen was supposed to be bald (I assume from chemo). Susan objected to wearing a bald cap and the white/gray hair compromise was made. Nobody knew at the time Jacqueline Susann was also diagnosed with cancer and would come to rely on large wigs. And honestly, the other actresses (and actors) get shorted in videos like these because they would rather focus on Sharon Tate and her tragedy. I always found Patty and Barbara (and Martin Milner) more interesting than Sharon.

Everybody got what they came for

Although, IMO, this essay did not hold together as most of the other BKR analyses, I found parts of it to be illuminating. I also appreciated that it cited two of my former students among its sources. I always look forward to these, in any event.

Actually the plot is not difficult to follow if you know the story, and understand the flashing pictures called the scenes Perhaps.... listen to the Coppola's commentary of the gf3 Maybe you'll finally get it And stop reliance on the BOOKS written about Godfather.....the amount of them that were pure bullshit even on occasion misinterpreting what Coppola himself ment is shocking

"All the way with LBJ!" ❤

Must commend you for striking out on "new" terrain in your videos, from discussing actresses during award season to delving into the times when performers have faced controversy, though i remember how the press covered the White House luncheon, and the way Eartha Kitt was demonized. I'm glad that you did such extensive research and proved the "slant" of the press at the time. History is always like that. Here is a classic example: the contretemps which led to John Ford being fired from directing PINKY has always been looked at as a great tragedy in American cinema, because it ended Ford's association with 20th Century Fox (which had begun in the silent era, way back in the early 1920s). "Auteur" criticism always sided with the director if he was acknowledged as a great artist. But what actually happened was that on the first day of filming Ethel Waters was having a problem: she was very nervous about getting on set. Ford got impatient, and (as was his wont) yelled "Tell that n****r to get her fat ass out here!" When Waters heard that, she froze, and really refused to go out, because she had been treated with such disrespect. Zanuck was called, he came to the set, he sized up the situation, and he promptly fired Ford. Calls were made and Elia Kazan was able to free up his schedule. But Ford's behavior, which by 1949 was unconscionable, has never been examined: the "tragedy" was that a great director was fired, not that the great director had shown bigoted attitudes which were not to be tolerated on a set from a movie about the problems of racial prejudice.

incredible how Joan STILL got the last laugh

I know she would appreciate your covering her life!

In 2024 "Older Women" to me means "In their 70's." And some of the most beautiful women I know are in their 70's.

Ah, indigenous blood. That explains the features of her face.

This moved me to tears, thank you so much for this video!

Personally I thought Sofia Coppola performance was excellent. She seemed to fit the role perfectly imho.

Spielbergs is automatically better because it doesn't have brown face
