The world needs more Coolidge as it is (and more Midler - maybe Schumer can just be really progressive in her next movie and have two moms?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-70523692315160260792015-10-23T14:15:12.649-04:002015-10-23T14:15:12.649-04:00There was an excellent biography of William Haines...There was an excellent biography of William Haines about 15 years back called WISECRACKER. I watched a few of his films and loved his persona, especially in the silents. I highly recommend TELL IT TO THE MARINES with Lon Chaney and King Vidor's delightful SHOW PEOPLE with Marion Davies. SHOW PEOPLE also proves Davies was a talented comedienne and not the no-talent that history has deemed for her. One of Haines talkies WAY OUT WEST is an absolute gay romp. There was something charming about his "wisecracker" characters. His star on Hollywood Blvd is in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel directly across from Grauman's Chinese Theatre. They had to close down the street when GO TELL THE MARINES premiered there because of the throngs there to see Billy Haines. It seems the only ones who were bothered by Haines was the studio and the code; the audiences loved him.sissyinhwdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593252249402179262noreply@blogger.com
