Happy 90th birthday (in this life at least) to the one and only Shirley MacLaine
who needs drugs when you can watch Barbra Streisand sing “I’VE COME HOME AT LAST!” in the first number of her first concert in almost three decades because her intense stage fright had almost completely stopped her from performing?
movies really need to go back to having title credits displayed over satin sheets
Happy Birthday to the great Barbra Streisand 💓 performing "Everybody Loves My Baby" in her television special The Belle of 14th Street (1967)

@thescrewballgrl @s That too!
Letterboxd is great, but c’mon now it’s social media. If you want thoughtful criticism, maybe follow critics or google reviews or visit blogs instead? So many writers and site editors would appreciate the traction!
And before anyone @s me there's a lot to be said about fatherhood and OH too but I'm specifically thinking about women right now
And also how some stars were good parents to one of/some of their children but not their other(s).... again, so much to think about
There's so much to analyze on their relationship to stardom, class background, religious background, etc as it affected their parenting and so much to chew on in admitting which stars shouldn't have been parents.
Once again wishing a bunch of feminist Old Hollywood scholars would get together and write a piece about various Old Hollywood actresses and motherhood.
I disagree. I think these shows helped primetime audiences get used to the concept of continuing storylines, which had once been the realm of daytime TV, because primetime used to be episodic. Almost every major primetime show now has continuing story arcs thanks to these shows.
It’s incredible how little lasting cultural influence Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, and Falcon Crest have had. That was a whole decade of culture right there.
You don’t see these much anymore
