If you want what I would consider the ultimate litmus test of your Hepburn aversion, check out the bittersweet romantic comedy <i>Holiday</i> (1938) co-starring Cary Grant. It's Hepburn's most sympathetic role -- smart without being smug, vulnerable without being a victim. If you're willing to give her another try, <i>Holiday</i> might be your best bet, and if you don't like her in that, you have my permission to give up on her forever.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-556919608478536192011-03-13T17:53:14.443-04:002011-03-13T17:53:14.443-04:00Yay Irene Dunne!

You know, we could even get, say, <i>four</i> blogs involved with each blog being a bracket, working toward the Final Four.<br /><br />Or eight blogs working toward the Elite Eight ...<br /><br />Definitely something to plan on.

So I couldn't have done say 80 or 96 without doing some fancy footwork. But 128 is perfect. So look forward to next year's tournament being massive. Pretty much will include everybody. But I made need some help with that. Maybe we can cross the tournament over our blogs. And we each take an era, so that one champion will come from each of our blogs. Anyone game for that? It would be four of us and each responsible for 32 actresses in whatever bracket we take. I'm game and I figure 128 selections is too much for one person. Just let me know and we can plan on this super event for next March.montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357464302627055092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-57215076767689826182011-03-09T14:25:14.544-05:002011-03-09T14:25:14.544-05:00Jane Greer wasn't in the field of 16; neither ...Jane Greer wasn't in the field of 16; neither was Betty Hutton or Joan Fontaine.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-46029489840606181282011-03-09T13:30:32.105-05:002011-03-09T13:30:32.105-05:00I'm no fan of Vivian Leigh, but I fear she'...<i>I'm no fan of Vivian Leigh, but I fear she'll mop up the floor with Betty Bacall</i><br /><br />Don't get tough with Slim.
