Good video presentation. I could add that Germany sent out peace feelers in 1916, believing the conflict was going nowhere. British officials were interested and wanted to talk. Somewhere along the line the process failed unfortunately.

I love your vids! I would love to show this one to my mum. Sadly, she doesn't speak English. Is there a way you could add Spanish subtitles to your videoessays? I know it's a lot of work but it would be wonderful 😊

So bizarre to hear this as super retro music of the time. This was in 1961 which was only 22 years after The Wizard of Oz. That's like waxing nostalgic now on the music of that ancient time of 2002 and the good old days of Pink's "Get the Party Started".

She also played a key role in the 1995 film _It's My Party_ (one of her final roles) as the Greek mother of the doomed gay character played so well by Eric Roberts. It's true that even in a bit part Lee Grant always managed to stand-out and command attention.

Eartha Kitt is a queen! My parents introduced me to her work via Catwoman and when her other villain roles started taking off (for me it was the Emperor’s New Groove and My Life as a Teenage Robot), I got curious about her life. That interview about being in love and not compromising lives rent free in my mind! ❤

Sofia was terrible in godfather 3, but to make out that her performance was the only problem with the film is ridiculous. I like Andy Garcia, but he was also incredibly wooden in it and failed to sell his own character let alone the romance. Even Pacino seemed like he'd lost interest in the role by then.

There's nothing like being an abused child. It's a heartbreaking and isolating experience. It's just you and God. I'm so proud of Christina. Just as Christina was powerless to defend herself as a child, now JC is powerless to defend her name now that she's gone. Turn about is fair play.

Marilyn Monroe made TWO films after this. Marilyn died in 1962 and the misfits was released in 1960. Between the movie release date and Marilyn’s death, Marilyn made the movie “Let’s Make Love” (1960) and her LAST FILM “Something’s Got To Give” (1962). Don’t get me wrong, this movie does have a lot of Marilyn life in it, such as abuse with Joe Damaggio and her constantly being sexualized in movies. I thank you for bringing this movie into the light but i arguably think this is Marilyn’s best movie that shows her acting abilities, but please don’t but “her last movie” in the title for video clout.

Could you imagine if any of those media reporters [who said she was rude, arguementative, aggressive, etc] were taken from that exact point in time to an aggressive speech now? It is a farce!! I am infuriated on her behalf for what was being said! Did noone see her statement? She was calm, precise, poised, elegant, demure but firm. She seemed more emotionless than angry. Her whole persona was warped and twisted to play a pity card for the first lady. Probably because she had more smarts than Lady Bird! What she said was at the heart of every mother at that time. Tears in her eyes? Made her cry? I call B. S. The first Lady was shown up as only caring about flowers during a time of war. An intelligent woman came in and spoke concisely and made them think. That is what was scary.

I absolutely love how calm, articulate, factual, and almost unemotional she was in asking/ making her statement to LBJ. She shattered every chance of anyone being able to critize her in any way and the only thing they could do was HEAR what she was saying. Anything else made them look foolish. As women, any hysteria, raising of voice, .... crap, even movement.. and that becomes the only thing it is about. She knew their game and she blew it all out of the water. She should be an example to all girls growing up. In a world where people see what they want to see, she understood this generations before her time. Truly an amazing woman.

Bravo BKR & EK. "Freedom gone wild" "Courage v Manners" - you don't have to look too far to find others who've experienced blackballing bc of the fragile insecurities of a person in charge of an institution. This stirred up many emotions. What I admire most is how EK stood her ground and maintained her composure. Respect.

This is a fantastic analysis of a great moment in history, when The Catwoman, Eartha Kitt, angered The First Lady, LadyBird Johnson and The President in 1968. Kitt was always a controversial and outspoken Star, but this controversial moment caused her to be blacklisted and blackballed for over a decade. Thankfully she made a stunning comeback in the 1978 Broadway hit, Timbuktu! And she never looked back.

I mean she was a disaster but there were other issues. No Duvall was a disaster plus a range of comical characters like Joey Szaza and the Archbishop with his spray-on five o’clock shadow; Dianne Keaton’s character providing corny moral commentary in literally every scene she was in, underdeveloped characters. Talia Shire’s inexplicable role as the shadow godfather. But yeah, the stand-alone catastrophe was Sofia
