Our hearts are with the family and loved one of actress Loni Anderson who passed away today at the age of 79. Loni was gracious enough to do two interviews with us, once in 2021 and another in 2022, and was a fountain of amazing stories. She will be missed.

@TCMtv.bsky.social Summer Under the Stars kicks off with a tribute to Lana Turner and you can't miss THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1946). What, you didn't NOT expect the John Garfield movie to get a shout out? This is actually one of Lana's best. We're excited to see a lot of her earlier work.

Can't let today pass without wishing a happy birthday to one of our favorites: William Powell. Powell played a bevy of sophisticated characters throughout his career, going back to the silent era, but for us it's all about his role as Nick Charles in the long-running Thin Man series. #tcmparty

On this #ThrowbackThursday we're going back to last year when we interviewed legendary editor Thelma Schoonmaker about her equally legendary husband, Michael Powell, and the documentary "Made in England: The Films of Powell & Pressburger." It's an amazing documentary!

We couldn't let today pass w/out celebrating our beloved Lupe Velez on her birthday. She starred in a variety of silent films and anchored the long-running "Mexican Spitfire" movies. She was funny, sensitive, and just a joy to watch on-screen.
Have you seen a Lupe Velez movie? What do you think?

Happy heavenly birthday to Jimmy Cagney. The actor personified the tough guy gangster in the likes of THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) and WHITE HEAT (1949). But he just as easily showcased his flair for song and dance, most famously in 1942's YANKEE DOODLE DANDY. #tcmparty
