And, despite being a great visionary, Zemeckis obviously realized that those are some awfully big ruby slippers to fill!
That said, when will Warner Bros. realize the same?
I get the horrible feeling that the studio WILL continue to look for a director with an ego big enough to think a remake can improve, or even top, the original.
Career suicide? Yep!
Box office bomb? Yep!
We’re not talking about an adaptation of an “Oz” story here, we’re talking about an exact page for page remake of the original 1939 script! It should be illegal!!!
Tom Hanks recently turned down the lead in a “Harvey” remake, refusing to even look at the script because of the realization that no one, not even him, could fill Jimmy Stewart’s shoes. It’s a moral issue and I was glad to see that Hanks had the foresight and RESPECT to leave well enough alone. I was, however, extremely disappointed to learn that Steven Spielberg was on board as director! Spielberg?! Yep, Steven Spielberg!
What was HE thinking?
Don’t mess with perfection!

As a fan of William Holden, I’m really looking forward to finally hearing some stories directly from his lover of ten years, Stefanie Powers. Her aptly titled book, “One from the Hart,” a play on words taken from her hit TV show, starring Robert Wagner, “Hart to Hart,” is now available. See links below.

The “Look Inside” feature is available at the Amazon link above.

Those who know me would already be aware that my favorite TV show is ABC’s “Castle” – In my opinion, it has some of the most quirky, interesting and thought-provoking story lines of any cop show in recent history. The sarcasm-laced sexual chemistry between lead actors, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic is electric. Together with the rest of the cast, “Castle” makes for a very enjoyable hour of television. Oh yeah, that and the fact that Nathan Fillion’s character, Rick Castle, just happens to be a writer…well, that’s the icing on the cake for me! 🙂
Check it out if you haven’t already. The first two seasons are now available on DVD, while season three is now airing on U.S. TV (ABC).

It was a long time coming, but Peg Entwistle (and her father) now have their grave marker in place! Thanks to many generous donations via the “Star Markers Foundation” for caring enough to get this done. Well done everyone!
Peg was the first Hollywood star to be honored by Star Markers Foundation. However, there are countless people from the film and music industry lying in unmarked graves…you’d be surprised! A donation, in any amount, to Star Markers Foundation will go toward someone else’s grave marker in the future.

As previously mentioned, my publisher, McFarland, has advised me that two of my books (Gene Tierney and Marjorie Main) are to be re-released in soft cover versions (Spring/Summer of 2011). There is now a pre order page at the publisher’s website for both books. While there’s no price listed there yet, I was personally notified that both books would be $38 each; that’s $17 less than the hard cover price. The Gene Tierney soft cover version “may” end up with a new cover…at the time of this post, that’s yet to be determined. Stay tuned for more on that…
For now, here are the pre order links:
