James Hong in a 1959 episode of TV series 'Zorro', and more recently being the oldest person to accept a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A very happy 96th birthday to an American screen legend today.

...well, that was a strange one... very much a piece of '60s Woody Allen writing, yet taking place in the late '90s, and not updated at all... ...Woody Allen's role would be perfect for a big loudmouth like Gleason-- whose version I don't think I've seen... doesn't really fit Allen's character...

How have I never heard of Takiko Mizunoe (水の江瀧子) before? Her life and career is insane. 110 years since her birth tomorrow (Feb. 20th, 1915). ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B0%...

The first Japanese female film producer Takiko Mizunoe (水の江瀧子) was born 110 years ago today, on February 20th, 1915. She had an incredible life and career, with many other 'firsts', worth reading up on. #japanese #actress #BOTD

And I am incredibly, incredibly sad to learn Ms. Olga James passed away, January 25, 2025: hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... “[the role] wasn’t a stretch for me. I was that character, a country-looking girl. I was just a little Ingénue.” —Olga James, about her role in CARMEN JONES (1954) 1/3
