Thanks, Jim.
Disappointing, I think. It was moving at such a brisk clip,
I could barely keep up. I did like the song and the way
they matched the lyrics to the scenes.
I can't decide if I liked the one audio clip. I think I
did.
Not as good as other years. Especially 2003. Which was
gorgeous.
Stephen Bowie
It's so cool that they included Roberta Collins ....
http://classictvhistory.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/dear-bobbie/
... even though there were no obits anywhere except in blogs and fan
publications. She must have another fan at TCM. (Same thing with
Julie Ege, I believe.)

I did, too.

OTOH, I liked it a lot. Moving, without being maudlin. I also liked
the subtlely of the cross cut into the stump, and there was that cameo
by the right side of George Reeves's body.
The only film I didn't recognize was the one with Bobs Watson's brother
Delmar. "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," maybe?
Thanks to Jim for the link. Catching this was a lot easier this year.

I think they usually run this ahead of the end of the year ... from this
year's list, Michael Kidd died on Dec 23 of last year, for example.

I thought it was a nice touch.
Can anyone name the tune and artist singing? I've never heard it before and it
was really bugging me as I listened because the voice sounded Very familiar. I
think I've got it now. From a popular band in the sixties?

Oh, give me a break. Jo Stafford never had a single feature film credit,
and had three, count 'em, three uncredited bits as a singing voice.
Isaac Hayes appeared in nearly forty movies, won an Oscar, was nominated for
a second one, and was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award.

panty-girdle in a wad over nothing. Don't let those little marbles get
squeezed.
You gotta admit that Jo Stafford was a STAR of magnitude and actually
did something in her life besides dropping names of all the stars he/she
has met etc. and dropping trivial crap that most likely no one even
wants to know.
You're too serious about all this, Jimmiette. And are a name-dropper of
the greatest. What actually did you accomplish in Hollywood besides gawk
and pretend and wish to be a star.

TCM concentrated on folks who were involved in movies as artists or
technicians--there were a few other folks whose career was primarily
in television who didn't make it--Ivan Dixon the most glaring
example. According to her entry in imdb.com, Jo Stafford primarily
appeared as a singer, either as a solo or with the Pied Pipers, or as
the hilarious Darlene Edwards. She wasn't an actress. Cyd Charisse
wasn't much more of an actress, but she did appear in movies playing a
role that included dancing, rather than just dancing.
Jo Stafford had a beautiful voice and great stage presence, and--as
shown by her work as Darlene Edwards--a wicked sense of humor. My
mother would have agreed with you. However, the folks at TCM decreed
otherwise.
Why don't you write them a note or send them a nastygram?

Not much. I gawk at stars all the time, still reeling years after the fact
from nearly knocking an old lady down and grabbing onto her and realizing I
was holding Lillian Gish in my arms. Still amazed that I sat next to Mickey
Rooney at the Golden Boot Awards a couple of years ago. Still staggered
that Jon Voight and Faye Dunaway sought me out at a premiere party to say
nice things about my work. I gawk with the best of them.
And I do sometimes wish I were a star. Yep, I admit it.
And I've pretended for many, many years. I've pretended to be about 200
different people in nearly forty motion pictures and a couple hundred TV
shows over the years. And been very, very fortunate to have been given the
chance and to have gotten not only a career but a certain amount of acclaim
from it.
And I've worked very hard to make people happy to have me around, to hire me
again and again, and to be pleased they made that choice.
I hope you're as happy with your life as I am with mine. From the evidence
presented here, I have my doubts, but I do hope it.

I never heard of Dagmar. I can only compare Jo Stafford to other female
singers who were popular and I ever heard. Offhand, I don't recall one
who didn't sound better to my ears than Jo Stafford. YMMV.
