Hey, it worked for Tatum O'Neal. For a while, anyway. |

No females!?!? |

| Aside from feminist's silliness, females who act are actresses not actors, so Billy was just talking about the actors he likes. |

| And maybe his favorite actresses are properly appreciated. |

| When Debra kept losing to the likes of Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine, and Holly Hunter, for best actress Oscar, I knew that she was not properly appreciated. |

| The.Oscar.for.Terms.of.Endearment.was.a.toss-up.between.Winger.and.MacLaine.Shirley.was.overdue.and.Debra.was.a.newcomer,so.the.choice.was.a.no-brainer.Otherwise.I.agree.but.Winger's.poisonality.worked.against.her. |

"poisonality" - ouch.
I would have liked to see her at least beat Holly Hunter (The Piano). Deb was great in Shadowlands, that year.
My adolescent crush was Luise Rainer, who got the academy appreciation. No, I'm not that old, just spent time watching an old movie channel on UHF when I should have been doing homework. |

Luise.Rainer.is.the.ultimate.example.of.the.Oscar.curse...two.Oscars.and.her.career.was.basically.over.
Other.prime.examples:
George.Chakiris(West.Side.Story)
Miyoshi.Umeki(Sayonara)
Tatum.O'Neal(Paper.Moon)
Adrien.Brody(The.Pianist)
The.list.is.pretty.long. |

Luise Rainer = SHJG. (see if you can decode that one, BW)
BTW, I keep somehow expecting to see "com" at the end of your sentences...
Knox - I never fathomed the appeal of The Piano, in general, or HH's perf, in particular. Either Deb or Emma (RotD) should have taken home the bald guy, that year. |

| Frances Ha is an entertaining but slight homage to Truffaut and Godard that mostly gets by on the charm of Greta Gerwig. |

R.I.P. Esther Williams, movie mermaid.
I wonder how many people these days remember her, though she was a big star when I was a kid. During the weeks after my knee surgery, I had a physical therapist who asked about the photos of Alan Bates in my apartment. I explained that he was an English actor--ever see Women in Love? King of Hearts? Zorba the Greek? No, no, no. Never heard of Anthony Quinn either--or Peter O'Toole, or Burt Lancaster. This wasn't a kid--he had to be at least 30. But he did know of James Earl Jones--from an Eddie Murphy movie. (He wasn't black.) I felt like giving him a training session of watching Turner Classic Movies for a month. |
