Oh the cries of DEI!. The Good Earth was written by Pearl Buck, the daughter of White Christian Missionaries and was written in English for, -shock - White people. As far as casting goes, the powerful Jews of Hollywood - like Louis B Mayer (Lazar Meir) made the decision casting Paul Muni (Frederich Meshilem Meier Weisenfreund) and Rainer who of course were both Jews. This was a country of a white majority, and Hollywood made films for WHITE audiences who were buying tickets and didn't worry too much about offending the sensibilities of an Asian minority which consisted of 254K people out of a nation of 131 MILLION. (1940 Census)

THIS is why I think it’s such a pity that our current financial situation, in which upper middle class wealth is the required for someone to become an actor or prominent artist, prevents working-class perspectives in entertainment and headlines. Instead we have wealthy people who are out of touch with working class concerns like, giving us rose-colored glasses in the form of our entertainment, which makes us see our world with a strange and privileged perspective.

We have come so far, and all it takes is a subtle turning away from progess to be back into trauma and crisis mode. Today, I imagine that a meeting with the first lady would require opinions being shared and openly discussed, especially with entertainers and artists who are often expected to change the mood of a room and beyond. I think Lady Bird felt challenged because Kitt did what she could not. I cringe that you undermined the physical threat of violence the first lady likely felt being a supporter of the Civil Rights movement. You don't have to go that far, to project what someone felt or didn't feel in a time you are too white and privileged yourself to appreciate. It's a shame but the real beauty would have been for these two gorgeous women to make peace. They should have both gone on Dick Cavet to have an informal discussion. Dick Cavet was probably too suggestive for Lady Bird, he could really push the envelope sometimes with female guests. Great video, you have definitely pushed with this one. It matters, A LOT.

Audrey effortlessly became a fashion icon; she did at least two layouts for an American magazine in the middle 1950s as a legitimate model, not as a movie star showing off the costumes from her latest film. And she looks excellent in these photos too - totally like an actual trained model.

What an underrated beauty she was, Myrna too, must be them Welsh genes. Sucks that she'd been made to settle for an "our bad" consolation award. Dark Victory and Little Foxes would've been more fitting wins, but honestly ain't no damned way she'd have won over Vivien Leigh that year. I didn't hate Colbert's win the year before.

One of the deciding factors in hiring Hayward was she was available and the same size as Judy. No wardrobe alterations were necessary. Also, during the wig scene, Helen was supposed to be bald (I assume from chemo). Susan objected to wearing a bald cap and the white/gray hair compromise was made. Nobody knew at the time Jacqueline Susann was also diagnosed with cancer and would come to rely on large wigs. And honestly, the other actresses (and actors) get shorted in videos like these because they would rather focus on Sharon Tate and her tragedy. I always found Patty and Barbara (and Martin Milner) more interesting than Sharon.

Must commend you for striking out on "new" terrain in your videos, from discussing actresses during award season to delving into the times when performers have faced controversy, though i remember how the press covered the White House luncheon, and the way Eartha Kitt was demonized. I'm glad that you did such extensive research and proved the "slant" of the press at the time. History is always like that. Here is a classic example: the contretemps which led to John Ford being fired from directing PINKY has always been looked at as a great tragedy in American cinema, because it ended Ford's association with 20th Century Fox (which had begun in the silent era, way back in the early 1920s). "Auteur" criticism always sided with the director if he was acknowledged as a great artist. But what actually happened was that on the first day of filming Ethel Waters was having a problem: she was very nervous about getting on set. Ford got impatient, and (as was his wont) yelled "Tell that n****r to get her fat ass out here!" When Waters heard that, she froze, and really refused to go out, because she had been treated with such disrespect. Zanuck was called, he came to the set, he sized up the situation, and he promptly fired Ford. Calls were made and Elia Kazan was able to free up his schedule. But Ford's behavior, which by 1949 was unconscionable, has never been examined: the "tragedy" was that a great director was fired, not that the great director had shown bigoted attitudes which were not to be tolerated on a set from a movie about the problems of racial prejudice.
