Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car | The fish was a poem | Are we getting into botany, Doctor? Are we flowers?
How many times do we have to go over this, Connie? I distinctly said *burp* the baby, not *burn* the baby.

"And then it suddenly hit me. What if we commissioned a scale model of the giant slide at the Illinois State Fair and glued it Stanwyck's head?"

John Voight, still hunting Nazis 50 years after The Odessa File was released—but now he's hunting them because he's elderly and isolated and in desperate need of like-minded friends.

Spoiler alert: He finds them.

I had this exact same expression on my face when I learned that my most recently deceased husband was the leader of an international freakish religious cult.

Mrs. Bundy? Did I hear you correctly, random diner guy? MISSUS?

Pardon my "Marie Dressler in the final scene of Dinner at Eight" double-take.

Vivid dreamer here.

Nearly all my dreams involve me struggling to get from one place to another via train, car, plane, bus, etc., in settings ranging from the prairie where I grew up to Chicago and other cities I've called home. Hotel lobbies are often involved. #NBNW speaks to me.

Posting this screenshot for those of you fretting over what to wear to your child’s upcoming high school graduation.

It’s November.You’ve got seven or eight months to get your shit together.

Do it. No excuses accepted.

Like any normal human being, I would pay an obscene amount of money to see a play in which Lana Turner utters the line "Oh, Mr. Obermeyer, why aren't you in Duluth?" and then trips over a vacuum cleaner.

"Of course she did it. It was the only way to get Blanche Yurka out of the house."

—Tallulah Bankhead, when asked for her thoughts on whether Libby Holman shot and killed her tobacco-heir husband in the home where perennial houseguest Yurka had outlived her welcome.

If you're itching for a heated argument over which is sexier—hairy or not hairy?—I suggest that you invite your local elder gays over for a viewing of a film starring Redford and Newman.

I'm Switzerland... trashy, slutty, I-can-handle-both-of-them Switzerland.

The opening sentence of her Wiki entry will never not make me laugh (in a gentle way—I like Lee Grant, as should everyone).

"It was a difficult and protracted labor, lasting, according to some reports, as long as three years..."

People often ask, "Do you think that Genevieve and Father O'Malley engaged in coitus before he entered the priesthood?"

And I'm like, "Are you fucking kidding me? Her nickname in high school was Communion Plate because she got passed around so much!"

Sheriff: I found her dead.

Coroner: I declared her dead.

Mortician: I embalmed her.

Townsfolk: We all saw her corpse lying in an open casket.

Everybody else: No, really, she's dead!

Vera Miles: I'm marching up to that house and give that bitch a piece of my mind!

"They say I'm a fine organist. That should be enough, shouldn't it?"

Not it isn't, honey. You'd think it would be, but it never is.

That's why I'm 60 and never been married.

The lovely June Lockhart exited this earth 159 years after her Meet Me in St. Louis co-star Harry Davenport entered it. An impressive spread!

And to think: Tootie's still with us, serving her life-without-parole sentence in a max-security prison in the Missouri Ozarks.

Props to Ben for acknowledging that Joan Fontaine is very good in #Suspiciion, despite the film's flaws.

I have a weakness for peak-career Joan Fontaine. I also think she's very good in the extremely weird and all-around troubling The Constant Nymph.

There was a niche. She filled it.

Hello, my name is Lois Chiles and I am astonishingly beautiful but my beauty is of the kind that limits me to supporting roles in period films and have you met my friend Elizabeth McGovern?

Call me obtuse (I've been called worse), but I just now "got" the meta-humor of Paulette Goddard admonishing Charlie Chaplin not to speak in this scene from The Great Dictator, Chaplin's first full-sound film. Contemporary audiences certainly would've gotten it.
