  1. Dear Michael,

    Thank you for the email! I understand that WordPress has a habit of hiding comments. It’s nice to hear from you now! I appreciate the likes on some of my articles. By the way, if you are interested in joining one of our blogathons, we are hosting the Claude Rains Blogathon this weekend: https://pureentertainmentpreservationsociety.wordpress.com/2018/10/02/five-minutes-everybody-the-curtains-going-up-on-the-claude-rains-blogathon/. We’d love to have you join if you aren’t too busy!

    This is a wonderful topic for a blogathon! The Fondas are a talented family, and they deserve a blogathon. Congratulations on hosting your first! I would like to join with an article about “Jezebel” from 1938. I enjoyed the performance of a young Henry Fonda when I watched this Southern period drama. Good luck with your blogathon. I hope you have a lot of participants.

    Yours Hopefully,

    Tiffany Brannan

  4. Thanks for the invitation, Michael, to write in your first blogathon. I will write about Yours, Mine, and Ours, which starred Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball as newlyweds, he being a widower with 10 kids and Lucille as a widow with 8 kids.

  23. I noticed that my request hasn’t been approved yet. I was wondering if you missed it. I was hoping to do Shag with Bridget Fonda.

  34. Hey Michael. My entry on “The Lady Eve” will be a little late. I’m also not going to have time to write about “You Belong To Me” and “The Mad Miss Manton”. I did however find a half written post on “Barefoot In The Park”, so I’m finishing that off and will send that in instead. I am still doing The Lady Eve though.
