Drive-in Saturdays

For Dorian’s birthday, we watched two of his favourite films, both released in 1950! This week we mostly talk about actresses, including but not limited to: - Fictional actresses portrayed in the films (Norma Desmond, Margo Channing, and Eve Harrington) - Real actresses in the films (Bette Davis, Gloria Swanson, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, Nancy Olson, Marilyn Monroe) - Real actresses who were almost in the films (Tallullah Bankhead, Mae West, Mary Pickford, Gertrude Lawrence, and a very surprising one I don't want to give away here) - Actresses who have nothing to do with this film, we just like them (Patti LuPone, Elaine Stritch) Menu: - Champagne and caviar - Cake - Martinis - Honestly, most of what people put in their mouths in these two films is booze and cigarettes
