Man, I don't know what a uremic is but I hope mine keeps on working.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't think Fred Pete has seen the 1950 Mexican melodrama Aventurera. But he should.
I'll check it out -- TCM has a salute to Mexican cinema next month.
She did a movie with William Powell, didn't she?
At least a couple. Libeled Lady (with Spencer Tracy and Myrna Loy) comes to mind. But Clark Gable (Red Dust, Wife vs. Secretary) was the other half of her OTP.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Which, by '30s standards, is slutty.
But by Hollywood standards of the day was nothing very notable. She certainly wasn't in Clara Bow's class.

It is - in my opinion - the greatest melodrama of all time. It's in an interesting Mexican-only subgenre known as Cabaretnera - a sort of soap/noir/musical thingie. Great musical numbers, outrageous plot twists, and lots of shadowy atmosphere and criminal doings.

Hec, TCM is showing Aventurera 5/19 at 11:15 p.m. Unfortunately, TCM's site won't let me link the search results.

Some of that Bow stuff=lies, right? She didn't really do a football team, did she? (My God, the stuff I know...daytime cable used to be my drug, man.)

I think that one's been debunked. Though the CW is that gossip about her love/sex life was a big factor in destroying her career.

That sucks. I'd make it worse. "I don't even *like* football, you guys...now if it was a poetry slam or something..." would quickly become Actress Confesses Poetic Gangbang.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
While I don't approve of the cheating on/dumping of spouses that I see in Hollywood, I think it's pretty silly to trash a single actress' career for promiscuity. A big factor of how someone becomes a celebrity is how many people would like to sleep with them—we can hardly blame them for taking us up on the opportunity.
