...trash, like all rubbish comes in two categories. First there's the stuf which, like nuclear waste, refuses to decay quickly and gives off a weird glow for years. Films like this have been pretty scarce since the early '60s, but every so often, a camp classic like Momance Dearest reminds its just what wonderful depths the genre can stuck to Then there's the mundane trash-strictly binde granddble which is dumped on the public one day, carted away the next and never seen aging...
...education and temperament an intellectual theology of social activism. A member of the most alienated and oppressed group in American society, he was his generation's most eloquent expositor of the American Dream. Brought up among Atlanta's middle class Black elite he often found his strongest supporters and dearest friends among the South's poor Blacks. King combined within his person a host of conflicting traditions and ideals. His ability to embrace contradictions gave King his greatest strength as well as his greatest vulnerability...

Hard on the stiletto heels of her portrait of Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest, Dunaway is playing the Margaret Lockwood part in a remake of the saucy 1945 film, The Wicked Lady. In this version, to be released next spring, Dunaway plays Lady Barbara Skelton, a country lady of leisure by day who hits the road as a highwaywoman at night. Her part is decidedly wicked-but with a difference. "I've always played...
None of this means that movie stars in private do not leave behind their public images. Ladd: The Life, The Legend, The Legacy of Alan Ladd reveals that the actor dwelt in a hell of insecurity that was utterly incompatible with the cool, confident screen image. In Mommie Dearest, Christina Crawford establishes that her poised mother Joan occasionally became a hysterical, sadistic monster at home. Bing Crosby, the easygoing crooner of love ballads, behaved like a callous heel toward his first wife Dixie, if Bing Crosby: The Hollow Man is to be believed...
