Get Well Soon, Zsa Zsa
Zsa Zsa Gabor fell and broke her hip last Saturday, which is not a good thing to do when you're 93. We've heard that her surgery went well.

"This happens every phucking time when I go shopping."
Hang in there, kid!

Bad Red
Debra Paget plays a bad redhead in The River's Edge (1957). Well, not exactly a bad redhead. I mean, more like a sexy brunette with a really bad dye job and cut. Like a failed la lollo "tossed salad" hair cut, except in DeLuxe Color red. Anyway, the bad hair seems to fit in well with some of the film's disconcerting dialogue and goofy storyline. (And let's not confuse it with the creepy 1986 Ione Skye-Dennis Hopper film River's Edge.) Anyway, as 1957 movies go, The River's Edge is not as good as The Bridge on the River Kwai or Sweet Smell of Success, but I found it more interesting than, say, I Was a Teenage Werewolf or The Monster That Challenged the World.

I'll Cry Tomorrow
Singer, actress, and legendary drinker Lillian Roth's autobiography is called I'll Cry Tomorrow, which was made into a Susan Hayward movie. Lillian was married about eight times; several of her husbands abused her and stole her money. She was appeared in Animal Crackers (1930), Madam Satan (1930), and Ladies They Talk About (1933). Her tombstone reads, "AS BAD AS IT WAS IT WAS GOOD."
