Yul Brynner died 41 years ago today. I was honored to have worked with him on the farewell run of The King and I on Broadway, the last of his 4,625 performances as the King. That year he also recorded an anti-smoking ad that aired after his death.

Marlene Dietrich's home movies, colorized. Beverly Hills, an Austrian with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in lederhosen, then London. Soon after, because she hated fascism, she turned down Nazi Germany's offers to bring her home and became a US citizen in 1939.

Twelve seasons and 279 episodes of The Big Bang Theory, all shot in front of a live studio audience, which means every blown line got a laugh from 200 people before anyone could call cut. The outtakes prove the cast liked each other as much as it looked.

Eva Marie Saint (July 4, 1924 – October 6, 2026) North by Northwest, 1959. The Park Service refused to let Hitchcock stage a chase on the actual monument, so MGM built Mount Rushmore on a soundstage in Culver City.

Tim Curry in 1976, one year after playing Frank-N-Furter on screen, dressed as William Shakespeare. The six-part series Will Shakespeare came from John Mortimer, the writer who created Rumpole of the Bailey, with Ian McShane as Christopher Marlowe.

Steve McQueen filming Bullitt in San Francisco, 1968. He copied that upside-down shoulder holster from real SFPD inspector Dave Toschi, who later worked the Zodiac case. The corner of Clay and Taylor is where Frank Bullitt lived, and the building still stands on Nob Hill. #SteveMcQueen #ILoveFilmTV

The Dick Cavett Show did something late-night TV rarely does now: it let a guest think out loud. This clip runs over two minutes on one camera and one face, with no cutaway and no punchline. Cavett's trick was simple. He asked, then he stayed quiet.

February 2010, NAACP Image Awards. A kid reporter asks Sandra Bullock if her husband can build him a motorcycle. Her counteroffer: wait until you're 18, and take a bicycle with nice pinstripes for now. Nine days later she won the Oscar for The Blind Side.

The Thin Man opened in May 1934, five months after Prohibition ended, and it drank accordingly. Nora finds out Nick is six martinis ahead and orders five more to catch up. Myrna Loy and William Powell went on to make 14 films together.

Danny Kaye needed one microphone and a spotlight. At the London Palladium in 1948, King George VI left the royal box to watch him from the front row, reportedly a first for a reigning monarch. This British Pathé reel shows why.

Rear Window, 1954. A photographer stuck in a wheelchair with a broken leg, a telephoto lens, and a courtyard full of neighbors' open windows. Hitchcock built the whole apartment block on one soundstage, and the Edith Head gowns still steal every scene.

Tim Curry and Lesley Ann Warren in Clue, 1985. Wadsworth the butler and Miss Scarlet, trading looks in the library while the bodies pile up. Theaters got one of three endings, and all three still hold up.
