Barbara Eden and Karl Boehm: The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm

May 27, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

 

 

Barbara Eden and Karl Boehm, The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm
Barbara Eden and Karl Boehm
The great looking The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm lobby card, above, features Barbara Eden and Karl Boehm,. The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962) was directed by Henry Levin and George Pal. Costume designer Mary Wills very deservedly won the Oscar for this film.
If you’ve never seen this film, I hope you can find it and check it out. As wonderfully entertaining as it is, it’s a tiny bit frustrating because (if you’re anything like me) you’ll find yourself wondering why in the world the wonderful Barbara Eden wasn’t in more movies!
The difficulty with seeing this movie is FINDING this movie. I want to add it to my dvd collection (because I collect everything pertaining to Barbara Eden) but I can’t find it anywhere.

Barbara Eden, Flaming Star (1960)

November 22, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Barbara Eden, Flaming Star (1960)

Barbara Eden, Flaming Star (1960)

When I started out making the Old Hollywood blog Hollywood Yesterday, I intended to focus mainly on the Golden Age of Hollywood. However, along the way, I realized that limiting the fun was in NO way the best way to go about this whole celebration of “Hollywood Yesterday.” After all, I enjoy classic television and many movies from the 50s, 60s, and even 70s as much as I do the earlier films.

What’s more, some of my absolute favorite stars were shining in these years. One of my very favorites is pictures above in all of her glory and beauty – Barbara Eden!

Due to the fact that many Old Hollywood blogs and social media accounts DO focus primarily on Hollywood’s earliest days, many of these wonderful stars are often overlooked. Not going to happen here! Barbara Eden, Elvis, Ann-Margret, Elizabeth Montgomery and the rest of them deserve to be celebrated, appreciated, and introduced to new generations as much as anyone.

Sorry… I’ll go ahead and step down off of my soapbox now!

If you’ve never seen Flaming Star (Amazon Link), check it out. It was, literally, a movie caught between the 50s and 60s and it is very apparent, as it has great elements from each decade. Best of all, it has Elvis Presley and Barbara Eden – a beautiful pairing if there ever was one!

Barbara Eden on the The Andy Griffith Show – One of My Favorite Episodes

November 16, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

Barbara Eden on the The Andy Griffith Show

Barbara Eden, The Andy Griffith Show

I’m fairly certain it’d be impossible for anyone to be a bigger fan of The Andy Griffith Show than I am – black and white episodes, that is. Anyone who loves the color/non-Barney Fife episodes can have them!

One of my favorite episodes is the one Barbara Eden guest stars on as Ellen Brown, an especially beautiful manicurist. The episode is titled “The Manicurist” – she’s so adorable and the episode’s just hilarious. Watching the men bumble around cracks me up every single time.

Sadly, this episode is the last appearance of Dick Elliott as Mayor Pike. The hilarious actor died in December of 1961, prior to the airing of “The Manicurist.”

“It won’t take her long to find out there’s no work for her. I’ll give her twenty-four hours – but while she’s here she sure is pretty to look at, ain’t she? Yeah? Kinda like a calendar come to life.” – Andy Taylor

(To Ellen) “Nature’s been good to you. I mean real, real, real good. I-I can’t remember when I’ve seen nature spend as much time on any one person.” – Andy Taylor

Welcome to Hollywood Yesterday!

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

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 Movie Reviews

The Quiet Man is one of the most beautiful, entertaining, colorful, and perfect movies ever made. Two of my favorite stars (Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne) in one of my favorite movies? It doesn’t get much better than that!

More old movie reviews.

Paulette Goddard and Charlie Chaplin, Modern Times

Thank you so much for visiting Hollywood Yesterday! You honor me with your presence and I hope you’ll return very soon and very often.

Stay positive. Stay happy. Stay you.

Meet: Mildred Davis

Mildred Davis

The beauty above is Silent Film star Mildred Davis. She was a frequent co-star (and longtime wife) of legendary actor Harold Lloyd. She’s one of my favorite silent film actresses and one I can’t understand not being a household name!
