Always a welcome addition to any TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL is SARA KARLOFF, daughter of horror icon Boris Karloff. While Boris is known best for his “horrifying” characters, he was also very capable of eliciting some laughs as he does in the drama LURED starring Lucille Ball, the film which Sara introduced at the festival on Sunday. But first, she stopped on the Opening Night red carpet to chat again with film critic debbie elias and talk about not only LURED, but TCM, the fans and the loss of Robert Osborne.
Tinseltown once again feels like the Hollywood of days gone by with the return of the 8th Annual TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL. As fans flock from across the country and across the Pond, gathering en masse at the TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Roosevelt, Egyptian Theatre and more, the ghosts of cinema’s past come to life not only on the big screen but in the hearts of festival-goers and film fans alike.
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Norman Jewison’s IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, the TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL kicked off on Thursday, April 6 at the TCL Chinese Theatre with an Opening Night Gala and, of course, star-studded red carpet. Film critic debbie elias was on hand to speak with the stars as they made their way to the theatre where Jewison, producer Walter Mirisch, actor Sidney Poitier, actress Lee Grant, composer Quincy Jones and more awaited them.
