TCM Film Fest Funny Girl Red Carpet 2013

Here is the entrance to the red carpet for tonight's gala premiere restoration of Funny Girl at The TCM Classic Film Festival. Below find pictures of all the great classic stars that walked it.


 Jane Withers and can anyone place the woman with her in the black dress? When Jane told the fans in the bleacher that it was recently her 87 birthday, they sang her happy birthday. The only thing sweeter than that was her reaction of tears and sincere gratitude.

Ann Blythe with Tom Brown 

Max Von Sydow, who even at a fun event looks a bit ominous.

 Tippi Hedren

 Mitzi Gaynor, who is a live wire. She gave Ben almost more than he could handle at the South Pacific interview. But that a whole other blog post.

 Eva Marie Saint greeting Ann Jeffries

 Robert Hayes, whose Airplane! will be showing at this years fest.

 Eva Marie was the last on the red carpet and gave us one of her high school cheers before heading into the film.

TCM Film Fest 2013 Opening Night

I am so excited TCM announced today the newly restored Funny Girl will open the 4th TCM Film Festival. Could an announcement of Striesand's participation be far behind???

Passes go on sale for the film festival November 15th. This year the four day classic film palooza will take place April 25-28.

Other restored films showing at the festival include Giant, The General, and The Great Escape. (it must be a G thing??)

If you've somehow missed my previous years post on TCM Film Fest. Check them out. They include interviews with Tony Curtis, Eva Marie Saint, Ernest Borgnine, Eli Wallach, and more. If you're a classic movie fan, I highly recommend you attend. Sadly many of these people are near death, and often they are gone within the year. Don't miss the chance to see them. I also love seeing these films with an audience, who loves them as much as I do.

Funny Girl Postponed at The Ahmanson

Apparently, Funny Girl has been indefinitely postponed at the Ahmanson. I'm so disappointed. I love this show, and was really looking forward to this new production.

No Second Hand Rose, or anything else. What a heart breaker.

This financial crisis stops being funny when it interferes with my theatre!
