I just had this conversation with my sister who kept commenting on my favorite silent actor’s, Ivor Novello, makeup when I tried to have her watch The Lodger. She said she couldn’t get past it. I don’t think we’re really related.

If you’re gonna watch Tarzan, The Apeman remember to give Ivor Novello a little nod as he was under contract to MGM at the time as a screenwriter & came up with the “Tarzan-Jane” dialogue. He was also rewriting a couple of his own stage plays into screenplays & fighting w/LB Mayer daily. #tcmparty

There is an underlying theme that somehow her intelligence makes her almost anti-American despite or because of her world reach. Kind of like this day’s zeitgeist.

My Dumbass Legal Take: Ellen was declared dead is it still bigamy? She’s technically dead. But on the other hand, since Ellen isn’t dead her marriage wouldn’t have been dissolved & then that would make the 2nd marriage void especially if it wasn’t consummated. #tcmparty

Irene Dunne, along with Jean Arthur, bucked Hollywood Ageism back in the day. Dunne born in 1898 & Arthur in 1900, were sometimes older than their leading men.Both careers started in the 1920s & lasted well into the 1950s. They played mothers, but were never subjected to the “Hag” trope. #tcmparty
