There are thousands of reasons, such as the exodus of geniuses from Nazi Europe, but certainly another reason would be what is happening right now in Hollywood- that there had it is producing spectacular TV series thanks to actors from Broadway but also to playwrights and novelists who are able to write dialogues, something not required in the era of the silent cinema. And there were luminaries such as William Faulkner or Dorothy Parker who were lured by the siren song and along with dozens of other writers already gave us the best Underwood stories.

Both her grandfather and her mother's grandfather were wealthy Alabamians. The common belief was that Tallulah received much of her acting talent from her father, but accounts of her mother1s younger days show proof that both of her parents were vivacious and talented. A stranger once told Tallulah, "Your mother was the most beautiful thing that ever lived. Many people have said you get your acting talent from your father, but I disagree. I was at school with Ada Eugenia and I knew Will well. Did you know that she could faint on 1 cue?11 Tallulahfs mother possessed grace and beauty and was quite flamboyant. She loved beautiful clothes and enjoyed creating a ruckus in her own Southern world.* Indeed, Tallulah inherited her mother's joy in turning social taboos upside down.

The scene in which Charles Alexander Swann (Dawson) attempts to strangle Margot Mary Wendice (Kelly), only to be himself stabbed with a pair of scis- sors, caused Hitchcock great anxiety.

The film has been called a superb commentary on watching films, on loneliness, and on obsession, as well as a sharp critique of the male psyche. But at its essence, Rear Window is a paean to old-fashioned snooping. “Sure he’s a snooper, but aren’t we all?” said Hitchcock. “I’ll bet you that nine out of ten people, if they see a woman across the courtyard undressing for bed, or even a man puttering around in his room, will stay and look; no one turns away and says, ‘It’s none of my business.’ ” The original still: Grace Kelly and James Stewart.

  • Bankhead Family History Nov 10
    THE BANKHEADS EARLY RECORDS OF A SMALL SCOTTISH FAMILY FOREWORD There are few of the name who have risen to national prominence and even today the surname is most uncommon in Britain. The research contained herein was prompted by a chance meeting with Leonard C Bankhead of Corsicana Texas in the early part of 1987. Together with Mrs Loudie Moffat of Austin, also Texas, Leonard had compiled a massive family history of the family in America. Alas the sheer size of their document had reduced the number of willing subscribers so that the manuscript remains unpublished. I have however,placed a copy in the Library of the Scottish Genealogy Society. Entitled "The Bankheads, Westward from South Carolina" it traces the progress of the descendants of seven original immigrants from the 1740's through to the present day. Evidence indicates that most came from Scotland, the rest from Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, more precise geographic details have not surfaced, neither do any of the name appear in the usual sources for Scottish emigrants. It was thus that I first entered Register House without undue expectation. To my surprise and delight I discovered that the surname is unusually well documented for its rarity and that the Bankheads in Scotland had some very well defined origins. In the process I had hopes of uncovering the link with my own ancestors who for generations had farmed in the Parish of Ahoghill, County Antrim. To try and separate the various generations, particularly in the earliest records, I adopted a simple numerical notation eg John #1, Hugh #2 etc.

  • The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman Directed by Eda Holmes
    The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman Directed by Eda Holmes “There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it … Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it.” In a small town in the deep South, two brothers, Ben and Oscar Hubbard put together a business deal to build a cotton mill in their town. Determined to be a part of plantation aristocracy, they find themselves in need of more capital to complete the deal. They turn to their sister Regina and her husband Horace for the extra money. They have written letters to Horace who is ill and in hospital but he never responds to their requests. In order for the family to maintain controlling interest in the business, they need this money. Oscar: Naturally, you are our sister and we want you to benefit from anything that we do. Regina: And in addition to your concern for me, you do not want control to go out of the family. That right, Ben? Ben: That’s cynical. Cynicism is an unpleasant way of telling the truth. Regina resolves that she will get her husband to agree to their terms and sends her young daughter, Alexandra, to bring Horace home, despite his illness. When Alexandra protests, Regina stands firm, “You must let me be the judge of his condition …Tell your papa that I want him to come home, that I miss him very much.” A week passes and Horace has not returned with Alexandra. In desperation, the brothers begin to formulate a plan to get Horace’s money without his permission.
