Reminds me of Joan Crawford's exit line in #TheWomen: "There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society ... outside of a kennel."

The advert that inspired the title for my Spring 2027 book about the making of #TheWomen from play to film through the eyes of #GeorgeCukor, #NormaShearer, and #JoanCrawford. "Out of the boudoir...on to the screen....See them with their hair down and their claws out!" #TCMParty

When is @tcmtv.bsky.social going to have a #PauletteGoddard star of the month? Her films aren't featured very often. I'd love to see more of her. #TCMParty #TheWomen #classicfilm

"Where are you going, my pretty maid?" #TheWomen #TCMParty

#tcmparty #thewomen

is Rosalind Russell signaling Mars with that headdress?

I really want this outfit Goddard is wearing. I wonder what color it was 🤔 Although it probably would look great in many colors #TheWomen #TCMParty

"and another thing, I think this bathroom is perfectly ridiculous. good night Crystal" with a little curtsy.... that kid is going to grow up with a great attitude #TheWomen #TCMParty

My mother kept a lot of her fabulous clothes, purses & jewelry from the 40s & 50s & when I was a kid I’d marvel over them.
She had a couple of huge rings, like the one Norma is wearing, that I really coveted.
Of course, she made sure I never got any of it.

Joan Fontaine is so pretty here, but I find her character a bit of a non-entity and her side story not particularly compelling #TheWomen
