Wesley Addy ("Marty McDonald" in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE) had memorable supporting roles in two of my all-time favorite films: KISS ME DEADLY (1955) and NETWORK (1976). A long and interesting radio, movie, and TV career. #TCMParty

The fierce urgency of now. In honor of MLK Day, I’ve curated 10 films that reflect on race relations in America; some look back at where we’ve been, some give us a reality check on where we’re at now and maybe one or two that offer hope for the future.
