Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan, King’s Row (VERY Under-Appreciated Movie!)

January 4, 2023 By Joi

Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan, King's Row

Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan

If you know anything about me, you know that Ann Sheridan is one of my top 3 favorite actresses: Maureen O’Hara, Lucille Ball, and Ann Sheridan all tie for the top spot – and, no, I’m not sure what it is with me and redheads but, my top ten favorites also include Rita Hayworth and Ann-Margret, so there must be something about their style that draws me in!

While I literally love all of Ann Sheridan’s movies, King’s Row (1942, directed by Sam Wood) is one of my favorites. The chemistry between her and Ronald Reagan and the story, itself, are extraordinary. The cast is also pretty darn hard to beat – Robert Cummings, Claude Rains,  Charles Coburn,  Nancy Coleman, Betty Field, Judith Anderson, and Maria Ouspenskaya.

Not bad for a cast with only one redhead! Kidding, kidding…

You can find King’s Row on dvd or Blu-ray (Amazon link) or watch on Prime Video.

King’s Row is a film I don’t talk nearly enough about and, given how much I love Ann Sheridan, it’s shocking that I don’t! I’m also a huge fan of Ronald Reagan’s – I find his presence in films to be very agreeable and downright comforting. He always draws me in and makes me care very much about the character he portrays.

I love the chemistry he and Ann shared as well – as evidenced in both this one and Juke Girl (1942).

The wonderful cast of King’s Row also includes Robert Cummings, Claude Rains,  Charles Coburn,  Nancy Coleman, Betty Field, Judith Anderson, and Maria Ouspenskaya.

Maria Ouspenskaya is another star who is always welcome in my den. Love her!

You can find King’s Row on dvd or Blu-ray (Amazon link) or watch on Prime Video.

Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn Make Their Own Kind of Magic in Silver River (1948)

September 8, 2022 By Joi

Silver River with Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn

Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn

There are many film couples who made movie magic:

  • Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne
  • Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck
  • Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall
  • Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
  • Ruby Dee and Sidney Poitier
  • Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland
  • etc etc etc…

But one of the couples I’d put on my list of favorites (right up there with the all-time greats) is one others may overlook…. Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn. They didn’t make NEARLY enough movies together, but I absolutely cherish the few they did make –  with Silver River being my favorite. Silver River (1948) was directed by the wonderful Raoul Walsh and also stars Thomas Mitchell, Tom D’Andrea (love him in this role… well, actually, I love him in everything), and Bruce Bennett.

You can find Silver River on dvd (Amazon link). I absolutely love it.

Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn… if these two names don’t conjure up entertainment for a classic film lover, I’m not sure what names would! They’re two of my personal favorites and one of my favorite movie “onscreen” couples. They were wonderful together – so much chemistry and seemed to love working together.

Silver River was one of the films they made together and it’s a great one. The 1948 Western was directed by Raul Walsh and also stars Thomas Mitchell (always wonderful), Bruce Bennett, and Tom D’Andrea (LOVE him in this role).

You can find Silver River on dvd (Amazon link).

Ann Sheridan, Jane Wyman, and Alexis Smith

The Doughgirls is an especially fun 1944 comedy, starring one of my top 3 favorite actresses, Ann Sheridan. Few share the top spot alongside my beloved Maureen O’Hara and Lucille Ball, but Miss Sheridan has her spot cemented.

The Doughgirls was directed by James V. Kern and also stars Eve Arden, Alexis Smith, Jane Wyman, Jack Carson, and Charles Ruggles. Wonderful cast, wonderful movie.

You can find The Doughgirls on dvd (Amazon link).

Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn are, individually, two of my favorite stars. They’re also, combined, one of my favorite movie couples. I love their chemistry a great deal and, personally, think she made as wonderful a leady lady for him as Olivia de Havilland did… which is, of course, absolutely saying something!

Silver River was directed by Raul Walsh and also stars Thomas Mitchell (always wonderful), Bruce Bennett, and Tom D’Andrea (LOVE him in this role).

You can find Silver River on dvd (Amazon link). It’s a very, very good Western with an outstanding cast.

Welcome to Hollywood Yesterday!

Ann Sheridan, It All Came True

Ann Sheridan
My name is Joi (“Joy”) and I created Hollywood Yesterday as my personal tribute to Old Hollywood. It’s my effort to help keep the stars from Old Hollywood, Classic Television, and Old Radio Shows alive and shining forever. Old Hollywood was positively magical and I see no reason for the magic to ever die.

Be warned, I am (by nature) overtly positive, I never take anything too seriously, I say extraordinary so often you’d think I invented the word, and I overuse exclamation points to distraction. I’m perpetually over-caffeinated.. we’ll blame that.

Old Hollywood Book Reviews

Ann Dvorak: Hollywood's Forgotten Rebel by Christina Rice

I love reading old Hollywood biographies and memoirs as much as I love watching classic movies, and that’s truly saying something!

Pictures of the Day

Maureen O'Hara, The Parent Trap

Maureen O’Hara

The Old Hollywood & Classic TV Pictures of the Day are published as regularly as possible. If I miss a few days, please just know that the husband, daughters, sons-in-law, grandbabies, and/or my cats were demanding my attention. I’ll be honest, nothing comes before any of them! Not even Maureen O’Hara or Henry Fonda.

Priorities, y’all.

Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland, The Adventures of Robin Hood

My main goal with Hollywood Yesterday is to keep the names, faces, and films of the stars that mean so much to me shining brightly. When I’m guilty of focusing more time on my personal favorites (such as Olivia de Havilland) than other stars, I hope you’ll forgive me. I am, by all indications, very human!

Also, please know that I try to keep my posts (except for book reviews) short and to the point, so you can enjoy the pictures, grab the information, and get back to your life. I don’t appreciate anything that’s overly wordy, so I don’t want to do that to others. For better or worse, I write as I talk, so if you ever feel like you’re reading the words of someone who’s a cross between Lucy Ricardo, Daisy Duck, and a Jerry Lewis character, that’s just because you are!

Wait. What did I just admit to?? 

Barbara Stanwyck Quotes

Another personal absolute favorite of mine is Barbara Stanwyck. Not only was she beautiful and outrageously talented, she was exceptionally bright, charismatic, and colorful. This growing collection of Barbara Stanwyck Quotes will give you an idea of just how colorful she was!
