When they started talking about the people going bonkers about the next arrival, thought it would be her -- but no, Norma Shearer. And so strange to see how Clark Gable was still such a minor player, as it took him forever to be acknowledged in Norma's wake.Lupnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314903093402072186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-51899578447064499542010-02-12T14:37:38.817-05:002010-02-12T14:37:38.817-05:00Hiya, lupner!
I thought all those actors were goo...Hiya, lupner!<br /><br />I thought all those actors were good sports to show up at the premiere and play along. Although I couldn't help notice that Greta Garbo gave it a miss. I guess she really did want to be alone.<br /><br />One thing about that "Grand" Hotel of the movie -- unless you were shelling out CEO prices and staying in a suite, you didn't have a private bath. And according to Lionel Barrymore's Otto Kringelein, the pipes banged all night long.<br /><br />If I wanted that I could stay at a Motel 6.<br /><br />Although I guess that wouldn't be as catchy a title for a movie -- "Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery and Lionel Barrymore in -- <i>Motel 6</i>!"<br /><br />Mmm, no.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-42829327408930168392010-02-12T07:46:10.590-05:002010-02-12T07:46:10.590-05:00Ooo, I wonder what ever happened to that register ...Ooo, I wonder what ever happened to that register . . .Lupnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314903093402072186noreply@blogger.com
