(And guys, I’m going to need your help with this one, trust me!). Ok, back to work I go!!! P.S. Here’s the text of the announcement in the video: Nonfiction: True Crime Author of THIS WAS HOLLYWOOD and the viral Instagram account of the same name Carla Valderrama’s untitled first work of narrative nonfiction, pitched in the vein of I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK and WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE, exploring the mysterious disappearance of a young actress during the Golden Age of Hollywood, and the potential connection between her case and a number of other cold cases from the same era; offering an in-depth portrait of a group of women whose lives have otherwise been lost to history and who, through the author’s own reporting and research, might finally receive justice, to John Glynn at Hanover Square Press, by Glen Hartley at Writers’ Representatives (world). #bookstagram #oldhollywood

“No matter what you’re doing- reading the paper, washing the dishes- when a big tap number comes on, you just sit up because the ‘click, click, click’ gets your attention,” Ann Miller said. Here she is tapping away in Kiss Me Kate (1953). 💕 #annmiller #dance

For the role of Lina Lamont, the silent star with the screechy voice in Singin’ in the Rain (1952), writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green thought of their friend Judy Holliday. But after Holliday won the Best Actress Oscar for ‘Born Yesterday’ (1951), they realized she couldn’t play a supporting role. Jean Hagen, who’d been Holliday’s understudy for ‘Born Yesterday’ on Broadway, auditioned with a perfect impression of Holliday and won the role. #singinintherain #50s

The one and only Audrey Totter in Tension (1949). “Most of the bad girls I played had a reason for being the way they were,” Totter said. “That’s what I always focused on …. Sort of the ‘nobody is all bad’ idea. Except, of course, the one I played in Tension- she was a bitch, plain and simple.” #audreytotter #movies

When Diahann Carroll was cast on Dynasty she had a request for the writers: “Don’t try to write for who you think I am — write for a white man who wants to be wealthy and powerful.” #diahanncarroll #80s
