Golden Age of Hollywood

Dorothy Dandridge Porgy and Bess (1959)

December 14, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Dorothy Dandridge, Porgy and Bess

Dorothy Dandridge, Porgy and Bess (1959)

Dorothy Dandridge is, by far, one of my favorite actresses. She didn’t have many opportunities come her way, but the ones she did have she made the absolute most of.

The frustrating thing for me is that, as I said, she’s one of my favorites, but I have a lot of trouble finding pictures of her to share on Hollywood Yesterday. This is the only reason she isn’t featured in more posts.

Believe me, however, I am always on the look out for pictures I can buy and/or scan to add. I’m also in the process of collecting her movies (the ones that are in circulation anyway), so I can at least add screencaps of her.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the rare and wonderful pictures I CAN find.

Lucille Ball and John Hodiak, Two Smart People (1946)

December 11, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Lucille Ball and John Hodiak, Two Smart People

Lucille Ball and John Hodiak: Two Smart People Publicity Photo

Two Smart People is a film you really don’t hear a lot about but, truth be told, I like it a lot. Watching it is kind of bittersweet, however, because you’re reminded of how young John Hodiak was when he died (just 41). He died in 1955, while shaving at his parents house. He was getting ready to go to the studio to film On the Threshold of Space.

If you’ve never seen Two Smart People, I hope you’ll check it out. It’s a good movie and the leads are extra special.

Natalie Wood and James Dean: Rebel Without a Cause

December 10, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Natalie Wood and James Dean Behind the Scenes of Rebel Without a Cause

Natalie Wood and James Dean Behind the Scenes of Rebel Without a Cause

I like to remind my reader friends every now and then of why I keep my posts and reviews as brief as possible. It’s not that I don’t have a lot to say – trust me, I’m very long winded and usually don’t even stop to take a breath!

The reasons I try to be brief the majority of the time are simple…

  • Hollywood Yesterday isn’t about ME. It’s about THEM. My thoughts, views, and opinions obviously spill out, but they aren’t what’s important – the ones I’m talking about are. The blog was created to shine a light on the men, women, films, television shows, and radio shows that have brought me countless joy – I want to do my part to keep them shining brightly. I try to reign myself in from going on and on about what I think and feel (hard for a chatty cathy like myself), because (again) that’s not what’s important.
  • As someone who is very busy, I know you are too!  I have a family (including multiple cats who DEMAND my attention as much as I love giving it to them), a home to run, 6 other blogs, and I am an avid cook. I feed, love, and care for feral cats which also takes time (but it’s a labor of love, so it’s a blessing). I know what it’s like to be busy, so I keep that in mind and try to provide my readers with fun bits of information, wonderful pictures to look at, and books and movies I recommend. I do, however, try to keep it brief so you can get on with your life. I want Hollywood Yesterday to be a fun place to visit and want you to always want to come back.

Finally…..  Frankly, sometimes the pictures don’t just speak for themselves, they yell and do not need my help whatsoever. Today’s picture of the day is a perfect example.

Honestly, what could I say that could come anywhere near the emotion this photo carries. All I want to say is this – these two stars have brought more joy to people like me and you than they could have ever imagined. I wish life had been a lot kinder to James Dean and Natalie Wood and wish they could have felt the love THEN that they have from so many NOW.

Miracle on 34th Street: Fun Lobby Cards (Love These!)

December 10, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Lobby Card Miracle on 34th Street

Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O’Hara, and John Payne

Maureen O’Hara is one of my VERY favorite actresses, so you can bet I’ve seen Miracle on 34th Street more times than the average movie fan. Honestly… I couldn’t even begin to count the number of times, because I watch it multiple times each year.Lobby Card Miracle on 34th Street

John Payne and Maureen O’Hara

Heck, I’ve been known to watch in in the middle of July!

Each time I watch it, I love it even more. The cast was simply perfect – from Maureen, Natalie Wood, John Payne, and Edmund Gwenn to William Frawley, Porter Hall, Jerome Cowan, and Gene Lockhart. Each was spectacular and (obviously) knew they were part of something extra EXTRA special.

Lobby Card Miracle on 34th Street

Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O’Hara, and John Payne

A few things in particular strike me with each viewing:

  • Natalie Wood was a very, very special actress – whether she was a child, teen, or adult… she was spectacular and obviously born to do what she did so beautifully.
  • Maureen O’Hara was as talented as she was stunningly beautiful – and that’s saying something!
  • John Payne and Edmund Gwenn were exceptional actors and should be household names! How more front and center roles in popular movies eluded them is beyond me – but I’m forever thankful that they’re in this personal favorite film.
  • Finally, this is a perfect movie – perfect in every way!

Frank Capra and James Stewart: Behind the Scenes of It’s a Wonderful Life

Frank Capra and James Stewart Behind the Scenes of It's a Wonderful Life

Frank Capra and James Stewart

I love the photo above of director Frank Capra and James Stewart (George Bailey) behind the scenes of one of the greatest movies ever made, It’s a Wonderful Life (1946).

Frank Capra often said that this was his favorite of all his films and James Stewart has singled George Bailey as his favorite role.

I know this much – the two ridiculously talented men made film history with this masterpiece!

Barbara Stanwyck: Annie Oakley (1935) -Fast Facts and a Priceless Picture

December 9, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Barbara Stanwyck, Annie Oakley

Barbara Stanwyck as Annie Oakley

Fast Facts About Annie Oakley (1935):

  • Jean Arthur turned down the lead role in this film. While I would have been interested in seeing her take on this colorful character, I’m very happy we have Barbara Stanwyck in the role to enjoy forevermore.
  • The first Western for both director George Stevens and Barbara Stanwyck.
  • Released less than 10 years after the death of the real Annie Oakley. If you’ve never read about Annie, I hope you’ll do so. She was a fascinating woman, far ahead of her time. And gutsy? Forget about it, the lady had guts to spare!
  • The working title was Shooting Star. I actually love that – I kind of wish they’d gone with Shooting Star: The Story of Annie Oakley.

Annie Oakley also stars Melvyn Douglas, Preston Foster, Moroni Olsen, Andy Clyde and Pert Kelton.

Ann-Margret and Pat Boone, State Fair (1962)

Ann-Margret and Pat Boone State Fair

Pat Boone and Ann-Margret, State Fair (1962)

As I’ve said before (probably a million times), Ann-Margret is one of my favorite actresses. For one thing, I’m drawn to happy people and, somehow, she (in and out of character) strikes me as a very happy person. I love her energy, her talent (very versatile lady), and her overall vibe. While she’s (obviously) one of the most beautiful actresses of all time, her beauty (for me anyway) isn’t even in the top 3 of things to love about her.

If you’ve never seen her in State Fair, I hope you’ll see the film as soon as possible. She’s so adorable in this film- it’s one of my favorite of her roles. While the movie has a wonderful cast, I think she’s the main reason it’s as fun as it is.

White Christmas Promotional Art: Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, and Vera-Ellen

December 8, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

White Christmas Promotional Picture

Danny Kay, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, and Vera-Ellen

I love everything about the movie White Christmas (Amazon Link), but if you want to know the one thing that makes this such a magical film… just look at the photo above. The cast is phenomenal and, from the singing to the acting to the laughter to the dancing – Danny Kay, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, and Vera-Ellen take a wonderful film and make it… well, there’s no other word for it… magical.

Plot: Bob (Bing Crosby) and Phil (Danny Kaye) create a song and dance act following WWII. They become romantically involved with a beautiful sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy (Vera-Ellen) and team up to save a failing Vermont inn.

The costumes, music, dance, and laughs are almost too good to be true in this visually beautiful film. It’s a classic for many reasons!

Picture of the Day: Constance Towers, William Holden, and John Wayne

December 7, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

John Wayne, William Holden, and Constance Towers in The Horse Soldiers (1959)

Constance Towers, John Wayne, and William Holden in The Horse Soldiers

When John Ford and John Wayne got together, magic happened. Add in William Holden and Constance Towers and things are even more magical. The Horse Soldiers (1959) was John Ford’s only film that took place during the Civil War (although he did direct a segment of How the West Was Won (1962) that was set during the Civil War.)

I love historical dramas – one of the reasons, I suppose, is the fact that I’m a history buff. Another reason is the wonderful costumes and sets. The costumes from The Horse Soldiers certainly do not disappoint, especially when it comes to the ridiculously beautiful, graceful, and regal Constance Towers. Seriously, every time I see this actress from her films or television roles, I always think the same thing… “She HAS to be descended from royalty!”

I hate that today’s picture of the day doesn’t show her beautiful face more clearly. I have no idea why she’s so smoky. I tried putting a few effects on the photo to make the fogginess go away, but only made it worse, so I reverted back to the image you see. If I ever find a better version, I will come back and add it.

You can find The Horse Soldiers on Amazon.

Agnes Moorehead: Born on This Date in 1900

December 6, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Agnes Moorehead, The Magnificent Ambersons

Beautiful, versatile, and talented Agnes Moorehead was born on December 6, 1900 in Clinton, Massachusetts. From Citizen Kane in 1941 to a made for television movie, Rex Harrison Presents Stories of Love, in 1974 the classy (in every sense of the word) actress created a wonderful filmography.

A few of my own personal favorite Agnes Moorehead films and television shows include:

(Links go to the movies’ dvds on Amazon)

  • Citizen Kane
  • The Magnificent Ambersons
  • Jane Eyre
  • Dark Passage
  • Show Boat
  • The Bat
  • The Stratton Story
  • Bewitched
  • The True Story of Jesse James
  • Charlotte’s Web (she made a perfect goose!)

I am working on watching her entire filmography and will (undoubtedly) come back here to edit the list as I am CERTAIN there will be more to add. My favorite Agnes Moorehead roles are Endora (Bewitched), Cornelia van Gorder (The Bat) and “Ma Stratton” in The Stratton Story. Unusual selections, I’m sure, given her wonderful body of work – but I have a few reasons for each choice.

(Continued Below….)

Agnes Moorehead as Endora

Endora (Bewitched)

Wonderful, larger than life dramas (on the big screen) were this lady’s specialty. She commanded dramatic scenes like she was born to do so. Yet… when the opportunity came along to portray a witch, of all things, in a television sitcom, she didn’t just NAIL COMEDY, she created a character that is a household name even today, all these years later.

While there are many sitcom characters, from the sixties and seventies and even earlier who are, also, household names, they are almost always main characters – as in the ones always front and center who, supposedly, carry the show.

Agnes Moorehead made such a huge impact that it’s felt today.

If you stop and think of other dramatic film actresses and imagine them in the role of Endora, you will quickly realize just how “impossible” this feat was. And yet…. she did it with style, pizzazz, and ever so much showmanship!

So, yes, even though her film roles are memorable, to say the least, her role as Endora will forever be one of my favorite Agnes Moorehead roles.

Ma Stratton (The Stratton Story)

Another favorite performance is her subtle, beautiful performance as James Stewart’s character’s mother in The Stratton Story. While her screen time in this film isn’t as much as some of her other wonderful roles, what time she is on the screen, she is mesmerizing. Her character is a woman who life has not been particularly kind to. From her demeanor, her surroundings, and the fact that she is the only parent left, you know that this is a woman who is uncommonly strong – not necessarily because she wants to be but she has had to be.

There is a quiet strength to her throughout the film that is palpable. Without giving anything away to those who have not seen this film, I’ll just say that several VERY emotional things happen to her son Monty (played by James Stewart). At no point does she take her reactions further than a woman of her character’s strength would allow. She also never tries to steal the

spotlight from her co-stars Stewart and June Allyson.

She stays within her character’s persona and it is absolutely breathtaking to watch because, due to the nature of the emotions (some positive, some negative), it would have been easy to play the scenes large. However, this would have been very unlike her character and, being the wonderful actress she was, she reigned it in.

Cornelia (The Bat)

If you watch a lot of Old Hollywood films, you realize that only a select few actresses were given the honor of carrying a film – of being front and center, so to speak. With The Bat, Agnes was given the chance to do this very thing and she was phenomenal.

The film is pretty “out there” but she never comes across as campy and never treats the role or film with anything but the utmost respect.

I think it’s a very entertaining film (co-starring the incomparable Vincent Price) and one of the reasons is the beautiful actress, herself.
