Nice!

I totally enjoyed it, too. I know Donna is most famous for her own show and her ill-fated year on Dallas, but outside of It's a Wonderful Life, her film career has totally been overshadowed by her TV career. So it's nice that her movies got some attention here, and Mary did a great job with the narration. :D

I'm glad TCM is doing this. It almost makes me wish I had cable. Donna was terrific in her movies. She played an ingenue in one of the 'Thin Man' movies, was in the original 'Ransom' as the distraught mother whose son got kidnapped, and was excellent in her Oscar winning role as a 'hostess' in 'From Here to Eternity'.

I agree!! You can't beat the classics. :D
