Guess What Film Turns 80 This Year??????????????????


                          That is right, darlings, "Mildred Pierce," the 1945 film that won Joan Crawford her Oscar, and turned out to be one of the best bitchfest mother-daughter films of all time.



                              Ann Blyth created much of that with her indelible portrayal of Veda Pierce.  Aspiring bitches just LOVE Veda.  After all, she was just a poor, misunderstood who had goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                              Girls, this is too much!!!!!!!!!!  With Eve Arden's one-liners, and Veda's nightclub scene--which I would like to do--there is something to offer for gays everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And straight people here can learn a lot about subtext,



                                 What an anniversary year this is turning out to be.



                                    Happy 80th Anniversary, "Mildred Pierce," and many more.



                                      As Veda says, "Don't worry about me, Mother; I'll get by."



                                      You better believe it, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria, The novel is a lot different from the movie. I hope some theater in NYC has a screening this year.
