Current Talk '25 I / Anita Bolster in The Picture of Dorian Gray

« on: October 21, 2025, 01:50:50 AM »

The Picture of Dorian Gray seems to be airing often this month. I watched it today and remembered that Anita Bolster-- Bathia Mapes, chosen by MB for today's MUST QUOTES slideshow-- appears as Lady Narborough (see attachment), who is described by Lord Henry as having "the remains of a really remarkable ugliness", yikes.

1945's TPofDG airs on TCM this Saturday, Oct. 25, at 11:15 am ET, 2:15 pm PT

Besides the plot of Quentin's portrait, I wonder if Lord Henry's negative influence on Dorian was an inspiration for Nicholas Blair's corruption of Adam.

And you've no doubt noticed that it isn't Roger who appears in today's screen capture. That's because Roger delivers the quote while he's off screen and it's Carolyn who's on screen, which is why today's screen capture features Carolyn -- rather than Roger. And as I've explained before, normally we would just skip a quote if the character saying it isn't on screen.

It was worth it for your terrific screen grab of Carolyn!

Calendar Events / Announcements '25 I / Stephen Mendillo 1940 - 2025, husband of Lisa Richards

Beloved Slap Shot actor Stephen Mendillo passes away

Most of his obituaries focus on hockey, but I recognize him from several other TV and movie roles, including a handful of memorable appearances on Law & Order. According to several internet sources, he had been married to Lisa Richards since 2000.

Coincidence: This morning I walked the trail that goes over the bridge (no longer a train trestle) that the vampires were hanging from in The Lost Boys. And yeah, as a fan of the movie I enjoyed it.
