Or that she got Campbell and his friend, Stanley Tucci, their first professional stage roles?

And of course Jason Robards was married to Lauren Bacall.

(That's, to the left, Jennifer Jones, whom I never seem to recognize when she's not in Song of Bernadette or Portrait of Jennie.)

Hard to step into Bogey's shoes.

Surely you also would recognize her from the delirious (and hilarious) “Duel in the Sun”!

*whispers*

Have I maybe never seen it?

ernestgubbins.bsky.social•310 days ago

You must track it down posthaste, sir. It is beyond belief.

bcdreyer.social•310 days ago

Absolutely never seen it; I just checked the facts and now know for sure.

"Lillian's in it, right?" I was vaguely thinking.

And she is. Its nickname was “Lust in the Dust” … and it had to be edited after its premiere because the Catholic Legion of Decency was going to give it a “Condemned” rating. Alas, the pieces have been lost to time.

I remember her in Beat the Devil, which I loved (have not seen for many years though).

*is* lovely Campbell Scott, that is

is because still here, is because still lovely

I will never not think that Betty Comden and Adolph Green were married, no matter how often I saw Phyllis Newman on the Tonight Show.

If you ever get the chance to miss Scott’s “The Last Run,” do. It features Dewhurst as a prostitute who loves Scott’s character despite his flaws, as well as his then-current wife, Trish Van Devere, as a disreputable married woman. It’s creepy on all kinds of levels.

Thank you for sending me off to a Colleen shaped rabbit hole. I forgot that she was Murphy Brown's mom. Also, how could she possibly only have been 65 when she played Marilla?

In Canada we also think sometimes think she was married to Richard Farnsworth, because they were an indelible Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert.
