Kim Novak was a star at Columbia Pictures: Picnic, Pal Joey, Starngers When We Meet, The Notorious Landlady, and loasn outs to RKO for The Man With The Golden Arm and Paramoun t for her most famous film Vertigo
Kim co starred with the best of Hollywood durin g her career: Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Rita Hayworth, James Stewart, Roz Russell, Jack Lemmon, Judy Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and some of the finest actors of that era Frederic March Eleanor Parker, Peter Finch, Ben Kingsley Kim's Directors were Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, and Richard Quine (whose deep love for Kim shows in a series of hit Novak-Quine movies at Columbia
Pepe starred South America's big star Cantinflas and Columbia cast all of its stars such as Kim Novak and Jack Lemmon to do cameos. Kim Novak in her brief sequence is so beautiful one could get dizzy and feint.
Kim Novak was to me what a movie star should look like!

Lucille Ball v called Jean Arthur to invite Jean to come to Los Angeles and discuss starring in a Desilu pilot. Ms. Arthur after completing Shane was alway from filmed entertainment for 15 years. Her first project was a guest stint on "Gunsmoke", and you would never guess that Ms. Arthur had been away. Jean Arthur looked fantastic an gave a great performance.
I was a student studying the great Directors and developed Jean Arthur worked with the best: Billy Wilder, George Stevens, Howard Hawks, and Frank Capra. and her co stars Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, John Wayne, Rita Hayworth, James Stewart and Ronald Colman were some of the great stars Jean Arthur worked with.
Ms. Arthur's films are considered classics: Mr. Deeds, Shane, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, A Foreign Affair, and her greatest performance was in Stevens The More The Merrier co starring Joel McCrea., Jean Arthur was nominated for an Oscar but lost to Jennifer Jones The Song Of Bernadette.
Ms. Arthur was a great star but also n introvert and never "promoted herself:" Read Joh Oller' s fine book on thus great star!
Lucille Ball who was a bit player during Ms. Arthurs great stardom became CEO of Desilu and tried to get Ms. Arthur to star in a Desilu pilot. of "Mrs Aris Goes Tp Pars"but the deal feel thru. Instead Dick Quine a great director of those great Kim Novak movies at Columbia Bell Book and Candle, Strangers When We Meet, among others. created a TV pilot called Mother Word a is Law Also starring a very fine actor Ron Harper. Ms .Arthur was given a great wardrobe by Nolan Miller and a great production by Universal. I liked the show but it was on too late at 10PM where most of Ms. Arthur's elderly fans went to bed . CBS gave up on this show too quickly. The TV show was renamed The Jean Arthur Show. I could have listened to Jean Arthur's voice forever. (Actresses of the Golden Era had distinctive voices: Kate Hepburn, Susan Hayward, Bette Davis)
Jean Arthur was a finalist in the hunt for s Scarlett O Hara and while no one could ever top Vivien Leigh, Jean Arthur would have been a very Interesting selection.
Ms. Arthur turned down Capra's It's A Wonderful Life, and walked out of Born Yesterday on Broadway which garnered the great Judy Holiday the Oscar! Ms. Arthur declined Steve McQueen's mom in Junior Bonner and the small role of the missionary in Ross Hunter's disastrous remake of Lost Horizon. I am a big Hunter fan and he should have stuck with those e great lush love stories such as Imitation of Life (Lana Turner John Gavin) and Back Street (Susan Haywad and John Gavin)
I recommend The Jean Arthur Show

MGM filmed "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and Susan Hayward was a 20th CenturyFox star and MGM was able borrow Susan and that Susan gave a great in I'll Cry Tomorrow. Susan gave a great performance film directed by Daniel Mann.
Mr. Mann directed Shirley Booth, Anna Magnani, Susan Hayward an Liz Taylor to Best Actress Oscars.
Susan portrays the curse of alcoholism. This film has a now famous very shattering finale with "Lillian Ross This Is Your Life". The Oscar went to aAnna Magnani for the Rose Tatoo. In my estimation Susan gave the greatest performance that year.
Susan gave the greatest performance of her legendary career in I Want To Live which won her a long deserved Oscar and the shouts and applause from the audience and Jerry Lewis asking "Susie" to take a curtain call part of Hollywood legend.
RIP Susan Hayward
