A truly “classic” BEHIND THE LENS this week as we celebrate the TCM Classic Film Festival with special guests, KRISTEN LOPEZ (@journeys_film), KELLEE PRATT ( @irishjayhawk66), AURORA DESMOND ( @citizenscreen) and PAULA GUTHAT ( @paula_guthat).
Cinephiles, classic film buffs and notable writers in classic film and entertainment, not to mention multi-year TCMFF attendees and TCMParty social media mavens, each of these women brings a wonderful perspective to our advance look at the festival which runs from April 6-9, 2017 in Hollywood. And each of these women will be at the forefront of the social media charge during the Fest, keeping not only ffest-goerstgoers in the know, but keeping all of the TCM fans advised and apprised of all the happenings in Hollywood.
In addition to our guests, we reminisce with excerpts of film critic debbie elias’ 2011 interview with ROBERT OSBORNE, long the face of TCM and the Festival. With Robert’s recent passing, you can be sure that thoughts turn to him not only on BTL, but throughout the TCMFF this year. And hear what legendary actress RAQUEL WELCH had to say about “old Hollywood”, working with legends and Jimmy Stewart during her exclusive interview with debbie. Plus, NORMAN LLOYD, a cinematic icon and Festival stalwart at a spritely 102 years young, adds his two cents about his participation at TCMFF 2017 with a salute to Jean Renoir!
