Born #OTD: #ClarkGable. Fun fact: according to warnerarchive.com, he gave his Oscar for 1934’s It Happened One Night to a kid who said it was pretty. Reportedly, Gable said that winning it mattered, not owning it. After his 1960 death, it was returned to his widow. #classichollywood

Ep 45 out now! In this first of a two-parter, @realreeltalk.bsky.social joins me for a look at director Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd., a film that satirically (and savagely!) casts a critical eye on the seedy underbelly of the Hollywood star-making machine. Just click here: linktr.ee/reelsofcinem...

Born #OTD: Golden Globe-nominated actress and animal lover Sharon Tate. From horror (1966’s Eye of the Devil) to parody (1967’s Fearless Vampire Killers) to melodrama (1967’s Valley of the Dolls) to slapstick (1968’s The Wrecking Crew), her filmography reflects the chances of a long acting career.

8 Oscar nods for Hamnet! Best Picture, Director (Chloe Zhao), Leading Actress (Jessie Buckley), Adapted Screenplay, the new category of Casting, Costume Design, Score, and Production Design. But Paul Mescal, who should have made 9, was unfairly snubbed. #oscar #oscars #academyaward #academyawards
