Anatomy Of A Classic

Thanksgiving With The Stars

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We’d like to imagine what the classic stars would say they’re thankful for if they all gathered around the dinner table together…

Cary Grant – that my pale British skin can be more tan than any Californian’s

Joan Crawford – for the invention of plush, satin-covered hangers

Bette Davis – for my placement at number 2 on AFI’s 100 Years, 100 Stars list while Ms. Crawford barely cracked the top ten

Jean Harlow – that my natural hair color was amazingly, almost supernaturally platinum and I never, ever had to resort to peroxide or bleach.  Ever.

Humphrey Bogart – that we’ll always have Paris

Jimmy Stewart - for the leaves on the tree, for the sweet little song of the baby birds in their nests, for corn that grows as high as the sky, the wind when it gently blows across a wheat field, for my beautiful wife Gloria, my faithful dog Beau, my wonderful children who’ve made me as proud as any father could….

Marlon Brando – for the end of Jimmy’s speech

Jimmy Cagney – for rat poison

Deborah Kerr – for Marni Nixon

James Dean – that legends never die

Marilyn Monroe – for the college age girls who choose my posters over Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn – for the college age girls who choose my posters over Marilyn Monroe

Mae West – for the visitors who come up and see me sometimes

Greta Garbo – sends her regrets that she could not attend tonight’s gathering
