Happy birthday to film legend #ClaudetteColbert! One of AFI's top 20 female stars of classic Hollywood cinema who starred in more than 60 movies, she won an Oscar for 1934's #ItHappenedOneNight (shown here). Got a favorite role of hers?

Happy birthday to the late #NellCarter! While a generation grew up watching her on the 1980s sitcom GIMME A BREAK!, she won a Tony for her performance in Broadway's AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', a role that also earned her a Primetime Emmy in a television reprisal.

Happy birthday to the versatile #JeanSmart! Nominated for an Emmy as a standup comedian in the HBO Max series #Hacks, she's kept us laughing since DESIGNING WOMEN in the late 1980s, then wowed us with dramatic roles in films such as GARDEN STATE, THE ACCOUNTANT, and BABYLON.

Consider Magnolia Pictures’ clever #OmniLoop a coming-of-middle-age tale, “rooted in female regret and expectations,” and built as a nifty time-travel SciFi. Witty, tender first feature from #BernardoBritto, with Mary-Louise Parker. Cortland Jacoby reviews: awfj.org/blog/2024/09/1…
