Bob Mackie: One film he'd recommend to get someone started into classics: "Any of the Mankiewicz Movies! Letter To Three Wives, All About Eve, Philadelphia Story, Woman of The Year—they are so entertaining!" @upmiss@PRHAudio#Mankiewicz IN THE SPOTLIGHT tcm.com/articles/Progr…

Two books by two of my favorite writers. Robert Gottlieb and Donna Rifkind. Lovely review. Subjects of Considerable Gossip nybooks.com/articles/2022/… via The New York Review of Books

I can't agree enough. I personally am etiquetting almost constantly when I am among others. It is difficult sometimes, but one must keep up one's standards.

Nice shout out to Carl Rollyson for his biography Hollywood Enigma for STAR OF THE MONTH: DANA ANDREWS tcm.com/articles/Progr…

TYVM for yr Brothers Mankiewicz shout out, Alexandra Jacobs.You had me at Rosebud. Having Harvey Weinstein carry my book into court was my comically benign version of the terrible rock-hard place his victims faced. Product placement from a sexual predator v. worldwide publicity.

#HugeStJohnMandelFan. You had me from your first book & I went back & read them all. Your exquisite, magical, poetic storytelling, control of your plot lines, creative characters & wicked comedies of manners. I knew Obama had good taste. Kudos.

Yet again I must note the presence on this list of 2 brothers writing 2 separate films 10 years apart. #TheBrothersMankiewicz Josh Mankiewicz John Mankiewicz Ben Mankiewicz alexmango Molly Mankiewicz Jack Mankiewicz Who Are the Best Screenwriters of All Time? nofilmschool.com/who-are-best-s…

The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair - Solzy at the Movies - goo.gl/alerts/wMJLaa #GoogleAlerts Thank you for the shoutout, Danielle Solzman 🎥🎬🎥✡️. I look forward to reading the book.

And more from the multi-talented Josh Mankiewicz. Congratulations on the success of #Dateline podcasts.

Besides Emily St. J. Mandel I have another new favorite Anthony Marra. Mercury Pictures Presents is brilliant, warmhearted & wise. It led me to listen (twice) to Tsar of Love & Techno. Equally endearing, more heartbreaking. Oh & he's very funny too. A writer to savor. Bravo!

TYVM Carl Rollyson for devoting a session of your A Life in Biography podcast to our dear friend, Marion Meade. We miss her terribly. anchor.fm/carl-rollyson/…

nytimes.com/2023/06/14/boo… When he edited Irene Selznick's memoir, they adopted each other as family. Initially a source for my biography of Irene, he became its cheerleader, advisor & future dedicatee. He also became my friend & I already miss talking of books we loved.
