A couple of revealing memories of @TCM’s friend, my friend, Eva Marie Saint, who was the best. Kind, emotionally available, very funny, and a little wicked.

Ann-Margaret? Thankfully, the casting gods prevailed.
Ann-Margret did a screen test for the role of Beth Jarrett in Ordinary People before Mary Tyler Moore was cast.
Natalie Wood and Lee Remick were also considered for the role. Anthony Franciosa was considered for the role that ultimately went to Donald Sutherland.

In 1977 ALEC GUINNESS told Michael Parkinson a story about a chance meeting with JAMES DEAN in Hollywood, and having been shown Dean’s new car how he shared with the young actor a premonition that if Dean drove it something awful would happen.
A heralded mind, a dear soul and a director of the first water. 🩷

"You get at most one cliché per book."
Jonathan Franzen doesn't finish most books people send him. He reads until the second cliché, then stops.
"People send me a galley of a book that's coming out. I read along until I get to the second cliché, and I say, thank you."
"They tell me this is not an attentive writer. Aren't you aware that that's a cliché? Didn't it occur to you to stop and take 20 minutes to find a better phrasing than that?"
"You can also have borrowed feelings, borrowed ideas, borrowed situations. Sentiment can be clichéd, or unearned."

I published my first newsletter in about nine months:
We no longer live in a world where the appreciation for fine art is a sinister tool of class distinction, and we need to stop treating Bourdieu's Distinction like it outlines iron laws of humanity

I can’t name a contemporary actor who’s even remotely proximate to this vastly interesting and brilliant man. I should so like to portray him one day.
Polymath and raconteur par excellence, Peter Ustinov, tells a wartime anecdote on a 1972 episode of Parkinson. The other guests on this episode were Jackie Charlton, Jimmy Reid and Blossom Dearie.
Imagine what it must have been like in the green room!
Good morning.

Bob Mackie was one of those people who knew how to make you feel like glittering magic, all you had to do was slip into one of his creations.
While the entertainment industry needed smoke and mirrors, all Bob needed was a few yards of sheer fabric, a needle and thread … and beads, lots and lots of beads!
When you wore one of Bob’s creations, you felt like a million dollars.
Bob’s imagination, designs and creations will continue in legend. Bob, your genius will continue to sparkle like the millions of beads you meticulously placed on those of us fortunate enough to have known you.
I still have my gowns and treasure them as much as the day I first put them on. Rest well Bob! -Barbara Eden
