glenn ford day on tcm!
Well, I got my wish....Glenn Ford Day on Turner Classic Movies.This morning, Sunday, as I write this....the Western "The Deperado's", which started about a 40 minutes ago or so....Glenn, Randolph Scott, Claire Trevor and Evelyn Keyes is the first of six films TCM will be showing today!
Then at 6:30am (9:30am-Eastern) we have "A Stolen Life" with Bette Davis playing twins and G.F. playing opposite her, trying to figure out the 'good' twin from the 'bad'...!
Then, at 8:30a.m (11:30am-Eastern) we have "Gilda" with the gorgeous Rita Hayworth doing that sizzling musical number, "Put The Blame On Mame, Boys".....you do not want to miss this film!
Then, at 10:30am (1:30p.m.-Eastern), we have "The Blackboard Jungle", that wonderful film with the very young fantastically talented Sidney Poitier....a wonderful movie...
Then, at 12:30pm (3:30pm-Eastern) we have "Teahouse Of The August Moon" a wonderful picture with a very young talented Marlon Brando, as well as G.F.....another 'do not miss this film'.....this was a Broadway play before Columbia Pictures bought it and it became a vehicle for dear Glenn Fors.
And last, but not least, at 2:45pm (5:45pm-Eastern) we have "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father" with a very young Ron Howard and a lovely Shirley Jones.....
So there you have it 12 hours of dear wonderful Glenn Ford....and if you only have time for one of these films....make it "Gilda"....that was the 'I-fell-in-love-with-Glenn-Ford-picture....' or for many it is the 'I-fell-in-lust-with-Rita-Hayworth-picture....
Just watch it, okay?
Thank you Turner Classics for honoring this wonderful actor today...as most of you will remember he died about 12 days ago and this is a terrific way to honor him.....Enjoy!

remembering glenn ford
In the Summer of 1947 my mother, my sister Gene and my brother Gordon and I spent the entire summer on Le Doux street, in Beverly Hills. It was a memorable summer for me in so very many ways....My first trip to Hollywood! That in itself was Momentous. I turned 16 that summer and we celebrated my Birthday at The Cocoanut Grove Nightclub in The Ambassador Hotel....A Momentous and Memorable Birthday, to be sure.One of the things I did that summer was I learned to play Tennis. It was the beginning and the end of my Tennis career! I was put on my very first "doctors diet", that late Spring of '47 and one of the things she...(yes, it was a woman doctor way back then....!) ...said was important was that I move around more, like I should learn to play Tennis. So, my mother looked into where I might do this and came up with The Beverly Hills Hotel.
There was a Tennis Pro there...a man named Harvey Snodgrass, who had been an Olympic Champion, and somehow or other she found out that this would be a good place and a good man for me to 'learn' to play.Mr. Snodgrass turned out to be a very very nice man. The Beverly Hills Hotel was a very intriguing place to me, though I think I only saw the Tennis Courts there that summer...
But this Hotel was a famous place in my mind...reading all the movie magazines of the day---mainly the top two, Photoplay and Modern Screen--this Hotel was where all 'the stars' went and stayed, too...very very exciting place to an almost 16 year old who's life was 'saved' by the movies...by going to the movies.After each tennis lesson I would go stand outside of the Tennis courts which at that time were on the Beverly Drive side of the Hotel...(after that major renovation in the late '90's they were moved to a somewhat different area)...and I would wait out there to be picked up by my mother or my sister or my brother. I had not learned to drive yet. That was to come in my 16th year where I was part of the first 'Girls Driver Training' class offered by our High School. Unbelievable, isn't it that back then they didn't teach girls to drive in school, till the fall of 1947...?
Anyway...I would stand out there in my stupid tennis clothes...all hot and sweatty and watch the cars go by that came down that street from the Hills of Beverly, all of them going down to Sunset Blvd. on their way to somewhere.
One day, as I stood there waiting, this gorgeous powder blue Lincoln Continental Convertible came down the street and I looked because this was such a beautiful car...and lo and behold, driving this car was a man in a powder blue sweater....and it was the simply gorgeous sexy movie star, Glenn Ford! I was in heaven!
Part of the great thing about being in Los Angeles for that whole summer was the opportunity to 'see the stars'....Now, I didn't see very many, but I did get to see a few. And the very attractive Mr. Ford was one if them and I had a terrible crush on him, you see. I thought about this yesterday because Glenn Ford died on Wednesday afternoon here in Beverly Hills where he lived. He was 90 years old, having celebrated this milestone birthday in May of this year, though I understand he was not well enough to attend this huge tribute to him held at The Egyptian Theatre here in Hollywood and arranged by The American Cinematique. The theatre was packed from what I heard. Packed to the rafters, as they say....
My darling friend Earl Holliman had been at this special Birthday Celebaration for Glenn Ford because he had worked with him in a film back in the day, and they were good friends....and Earl had told me about it when he visited me one day in late May. (I keep urging Earl to write his autobiography....what a career he has had---spanning the Studio System back in the early '50's to today... Earl, like Glenn Ford, is a very underated actor....in point of fact, he is a wonderful wonderful actor...)
Glenn Ford never won an Oscar and in fact probably was so underated because he made it look so easy...
it's true, he always played versions of himself...not 'characters' like say Lawrence Olivier played...but, they were always full-out people...there were some very wonderful pictures in his 85 films..."The Blackboard Jungle", which just happened to be on, on Wednesday night, the night of the afternoon he died---probably his most important picture---on Turner Classic Movies as part of their Sidney Poitier Day...it's amazing but in this 'original' art work, Sidney Potier doesn't even have billing....But, it was one of his early films that helped to make him the great star he became....
Another great Glenn Ford favorite was the Film Noirish "Gilda", 1946, one of the three films he made with Rita Hayworth...I think this is the film that most people remember him for...(this was my---I've-got-a-crush on-him-film....) and remember Rita Hayworth's fabulous rendition of "Put The Blame On Mame, Boys"....this was a sizzling sexy HOT film for it's time...I mean the chemistry---the sexual energy---between those two actors was palapable...! Oy My! And Glenn Ford combined for me just about everything I would want in a man. He was terribly good looking; sexy; sensitive; vulnerable; and tough! Mmmmmm! A winning combination of elements in one man, if ever there was one.William Holden & Glenn Ford were great friends...at least that is what we were told in all the magazines of the day...and quite honestly I chose to believe this because William Holden was another actor that knocked my socks off...a gorgeous talented sexy man, too...And these two guys made at least two pictures together and possibly more. ("Texes", 1941 and "The Man Fromn Colorado", 1948). But Holden's career took him to greater heights with some of the films that established his 'star' in a way that Ford's films never did. Even though he made pictures with all the great leading ladies of the day, including Bette Davis, in "A Stolen Life". The luck of the draw, I tell you...Hollywood is a strange fickle place...that anyone survives at all, and then endures, is a true miracle....
It made me very very sad to read that Glenn Ford had died.
Another "STAR" of that glorious period in films that is long gone but is revered and respected even today, especially by that fantastic Turner Classic Movies Channel and the wonderful Robert Osbourne who's integrity, knowledge, love and obsession with The Great Films of The Past, reminds us all that these films are our Artistic Treasures and we must embrace them and love them and introduce them to the generations that follow...trust me on this....They should be loved and cared for and seen, again and again and again, especially by students of the film....(And Thank God, Ted Turner loved the movies as much as he did...thus, this fabulous channel....)
I hope that Turner Classics Movies does a "tribute day" to Glenn Ford...he deserves this, and more...And here it is, almost 60 years after the fact and I can still remember the thrill of that 20 seconds or so of seeing Glenn Ford, MOVIE STAR, 'in person', driving past me in that gorgeous movie star car as I stood on the curb outside The Beverly Hills Hotel in July of 1947....
Rest well dear Mr. Ford. You enriched my life in ways you never knew. But I knew. And I know. And I will never forget.
And not just the romantic films or the romantic-thriller films either. But here's an out an out 'thriller' film of Glenn Ford's that everyone should see. "Experiment In Terror", 1963. The benchmark for scaring an audience with the use of music and breathing...waaaaay before it's time. Rent that, and be thrilled by the score by Henry Mancini and by all the actors...not the least of which is the wonderful Glenn Ford! He made 85 films and appeared in numerous television shows...he just never stopped working cause he loved his work and did it better than 'well'. Others, I am sure, will remember different films and be thrilled by them...Like "Pocket Full Of Miracles", "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father"...."Teahouse Of The August Moon", to name just a few....But I singled out the ones that were meaningful to me....and there was one other film. It was a romantic-drama. It wasn't a great movie by any means...but, there was something about it. And to be honest, I'm not sure what it was....Maybe it was just that I LOVED looking at Glenn Ford....this film was MGM's "The Doctor And The Girl", 1949....like I said, it wasn't a particulaly memorable film, except to me...I know this, though...whatever it was, Glenn Ford always gave his all and it never looked like 'work'. Plus, the man was real real easy on the eyes....and that, combined with his talen, went a long long way to his having a very long career in his chosen profession...Just look at this picture below....A Beautiful Man, I tell you.... 
Yes, He sure was one great looking guy....and a fine fine actor, to boot!
More To Come......

my garden below
Quite a few people commented that I hadn't shown my garden before....Well, I think I have, but it was a long time ago....And I may not have shown it in relation to people being in it, at the time, as I did in my last post with the photo's of Wendy & Mark...So, I thought I would post some pictures of the garden below taken from above---me on my deck---looking down at different plants, as well as from down there and looking up at my house---the picture above was taken way down in the garden looking up at a beautiful Euphorbia Cooperii...
This is the view from the South East corner of the garden looking up at my house...The big plant on the right is a very small Saquaro that is about two hundred years old....They are very very slow growing...about one half inch a year, if that!
And here I am in the South West corner looking up at my house...It is very hard to get a real sense of how big the garden really is when you are in these corners...cause you really cannot see that there is so much more too the 'whole'.....
This picture above was taken by me looking down on the garden from my deck...it is just a small portion of the right side as you are looking down...You can see this bronze statue of a Ram towards the lower center of the picture....And just below is a closer look of this really beautiful piece of sculpture....
And here below is a picture of a beautiful Agave...there are hundreds of different kinds of Agave's...this particular one gets very very big so you need a lot of room for it to grow and it is a beautiful rich green color....
So, when you are standing up on my deck, which runs the length of my whole house, you can look down to the left side and see this Date Palm, below....This was a 'volunteer'...I didn't plant this---some bird did! You know what I mean? Some bird dropped a seed or two and Volia! There is a Date Palm growing there...
When I first started my Cactus Garden 20 years ago this was so tiny I thought it would never grow enough to be recognizeable. Well, it is not really BIG yet, but compared to what it was twenty years ago, it is miraculous! And it won't ever have dates, but they call it a Date Palm, anyway! I think it is extremely gorgeous!
Here is a beautiful Euphorbia Amak Verigated with an abundance of flowers and you can almost see the necter oozing out of them...Incredibly beautiful flowers and teeny tiny, too...Here is a cluster of plants which are many different sizes and types...But what I love about this picture is that you can see the city behind all these plants....and there to the right of center of the picture is some of that 'visual polution' I've talked about many times...
I just love these plants so much. They are so sculptural and the variety of greens and blues in these plants is phenomonal!And here below are a couple of Aloe's in silouette, with the mid city beyond...you can see some of the buildings on Wilshire Blvd. and Park La Brea and beyond that the horizon and the ocean.
That building in the foreground is a large apartment building on Hollywood Blvd. just after the city part of Hollywood Blvd. ends, and the residential part begins....My first and only apartment was on Hollywood Blvd. where I lived for three years until I found my house and I've been here, ever since....
And here above, a gaggle of Euphorbia Amak's Verigated with a darling Morning Dove sitting right in the middle, there....I have a lot of these plants because they all came from the mother plant! They have grown incredibly and I love that! I also love that the birds just lite wherever they please....delightful! And those ball-like things on these Euphorbia's are the seed pods, btw. And here is another dear Morning Dove sitting on a small tree that hasn't bloomed yet....
I love that we can see his eye so clearly....and behind him is Park La Brea and another big building on Wilshire Blvd.
And one more bird sitting on the Waterful Sculpture partaking of a bath and a bit of a drink, too....
And just to remind you what started this post....it was that first picture of Wendy and Mark ascending the middle staircase down in the garden...And here it is again....
And this is just the middle of the garden from a quarter of the way down to not quite all the way down....but there is so much on either side that you can't really see in any one photograph...well, possiby in a panoramic shot, but not even then, I'm afraid...the scope of it is just too big. It covers the whole hill below my house....
Part 2 of this post will be coming along next time....
More to come....

the emmy's and more wendy, too!
Okay. So the Emmy's are over and I can now tell you about my votes. I voted in four categories this year. As already reported, the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy category was announced last week and my first choice was the Blue Ribbon Panels first choice.In the category of Outstanding Drama Series, my first choice was not the final choice of
the Blue Ribbon Panels when all the votes were counted. "24" came away with the Emmy, and my first choice had been "The Soprano's". This category had a very large group of people voting and it was a difficult category because there were no bad shows here. Each one of the five Nominees were worthy contenders. But the overall consensus was not my first choice. We never know how close the voting is by the way...Now that would be very interesting to know, wouldn't it?In the category of Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series, again the final outcome of all the votes was not my first choice. The Emmy went to Kiefer Sutherland for "24" and my first choice was Dennis Leary for "Rescue Me". This was a really tough category and I found it very very difficult to assign these numbers in a descending order to performances that were all top notch. But, you can only give a "1" to one actor, and so one....and truthfully, no one was a "5". But, you must make these choices and believe me, it isn't easy. But for me, Dennis Leary had the edge with the episode he submitted.
In the third category announced last night,
Outstanding Actress In A Drama Series, again, my pick for "1" was not the same as the the outcome of the final vote. The Emmy went to Mariska Hargity and my "1" went to Frances Conroy. This was another very very difficult category to choose the "1" for....all these actresses were right up there, for me, except Geena Davis. In comparison to the other actresses and the episodes they chose for our 'consideration'---only one episode was allowed---Geena Davis' episode was not as strong as the other four people. I loved Mariska Hargity's speech, by the way....it was so heartfelt and I love that she always mentions her father....very touching.
I'm not deeply unhappy with any of the final outcomes because all of these were very very close calls, generally speaking, so as far as I'm concerned. Yes, I would have loved my choices to receive the Emmy, but those that walked away with the Awards certainly were incredibly deserving.
In two of the other categories that I did not vote on....two actors that I hoped would get the Emmy, did. Blythe Danner, for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, for "Huff" was right on the money as far as I was concerned. I happened to love the series "Huff", but Showtime did not renew it, which is very disappointing to me because I really thought it was wonderfully written and directed and I loved all the actors in this series, too. This was a great cast of people. And in so very many ways this show was better than so very many other shows one see's on television. Canceling this show was, to me, a big mistake, but I'm not the Showtime Network!
And the other actor that I was so very pleased about his getting
the Emmy was Andre Braugher for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Mini Series Or Movie for "Thief". This was a real triumph of a win. This Mini Series was on FX and not a lot of people saw this series because of that....so, for this really superb actor to come away with the Emmy renewed my faith in the process. This was not a "popular" win by any means, which, for instance, Alan Alda's win for "The West Wing" surely was a very popular win. I think Alda was wonderful in "West Wing" but, in my opinion, Oliver Platt, to my way of thinking was extremely outstanding in "Huff". I mean he was perfection! But, Alda walked away with the Emmy and Platt, did not. Yup, I was disappointed. And of course this is my personal opinion based on what moves me and speaks to me and on what I understand about the craft of acting as well as the X factor in acting, too. It is all subjective. And that is why I think it is important that these final Blue Ribbon Panels should be as broad a group voting as possible. The more the merrier, I say, for a fairer cross section of opinions based on what we all see and are moved by.I could write a lot about the show itself but all I will say is I hate that they give the people who win only 45 seconds to say their 'thank you's'. It is a ridiculously short amount of time and too much time is spent on the banter and jokes of the presenters. That lengthy Howie Mandel thing was a total waste of time to me, and another way for NBC to tout one of it's shows that frankly I do not 'get'.... I mean "Deal Or No Deal"? (I find it impossible to follow...) Who cares! Again, that's just my opinion.
So, another Emmy Show is over and I know that Wendy & Mark had a wonderful time on 'The Red Carpet'. I'm sure Wemdy will be blogging about all this after they get back to New Zealand. They go to Disneyland on Monday and will leave for New Zealand on Wednesday night....A whirlwind trip filled with a lot of exciting moments....
I got to see them one more time, I'm happy to say, today...well, yesterday now! Wendy called yesterday morning and said they were checking out of the Hotel and had rented a car so they would love to come up and see me and take some more pictures. And I thought that was a swell idea!
So I got this fun picture of Wendy talking to the Starline Tour Bus guy---these buses come by my house every half hour in the daylight hours...and this was the same Tour company that the E! Channel had arranged for Wendy & Mark to take last Thursday when they came by my house!Here are Wendy & Mark down in my garden. I didn't walk down there with them because of the bad air today. So I stood out on my deck and got this long shot of them walking up some of the steps.
They are right in the middle of the picture....They didn't stay down in the garden too long because it was very very hot today, and down there, on a very very hot day, it feels like 'hell' down there...But, I'm glad they experienced the garden below and here is a closer look at them ascending the steps.
And because I am excessive, I got one more picture of them ascending and got in real close...but I was still waaaaay up above them. The camera doing all the hard work!
And I asked Mark to take a picture of Wendy and myself by George, but somehow Mark didn't get that picture. He had a bit of trouble with my camera...but a bit later he was able to get this sweet picture of me with Wendy by another beautiful plant....
And I got a very sweet picture of the two of them in front of another favorite and beautiful plant right in the front of my house, my Webercereus Johnsonii...a rare plant with this very rare and wonderful couple in front of it!
I gave them some lunch and as they ate their Ice Cream for dessert, they were checking their map to see what they had to do to get out of our very congested Los Angeles on their way to the less congested city of Anaheim where Disneyland resides.
And after a bit, they went on their way, leaving my home wending their way to the 101 freeeway....
And as they drove away and out of my sight, I thought to myself how incredibly special the Internet is that a wonderful blogging friend from half-way round the world could have been right here on my hill today. And this is someone I never would have met before Blogging, and had never even heard of nine months ago, and feel so close to now because of this fantastic way we all have of communicating, called The Blog! Amazing, Amazing....
And there they go....almost out of sight...Till next time, dear Wendy & Mark...
A few last gossipy thoughts about The Emmys:
Farrah Fawcett....poor dear....she is really kind of gone, isn't she? Could it be too much bad stuff has been ingested that shouldn't be?
These last few years have not been her best years, I'm afraid....Whenever I have seen her on any show----weather this one or Letterman or wherever----she has looked kind of loopy! And last night was no exception....only more so, next to those other two women....the only word for this that comes to mind is....OY!
And Ray Liotta....Can we talk about him for a second? What did that man do to himself???....He was such an attractive beautiful man! Now, he looks embalmed! At least, that's how he looked last night....Oh Dear!Why? What is this absolute obsession with looking young?? Help Me Oh Nurse!! 'Oh Ray, I hardly knew you....' (And Felicity was almost unrecognizeable, too!!!...Double OY!...)
And, I was exremely happy that Jon Stewart and The Daily Show won Emmy's, again! Well deserved! Very well deserved, indeed
And "Elizabeth 1" and Helen Mirren, too. Beautiful Beautiful film and a Super Superb performance by this always exceptional actress. I've never seen her give a bad performance. Have you? Frankly, I think this was a no-brainer, really!
And that's all I have to say, for now......More To Come.....
