I don't know when I've ever been more moved by a film. A week ago, I had never seen it. Today, I don't want to watch any other movie. Here we discuss this gentlest of films directed with the lightest of touches by Clint Eastwood. Link in bio.
“From the age of three, Lisa had listened to records in her room instead of playing with other children. But in Tennessee, she had a whole other life. She could eat anything she wanted, squish frogs, spook the security guards at 4 A.M, sign rude autographs at the gate ("F*** you, Lisa Marie Presley”), and race around the grounds in her own golf cart, sometimes with playmates Patsy and Peggy Lynn, the twin daughters of country singer Loretta Lynn, who had met Elvis when they were both in the hospital in Memphis.”
If you're like me - and if you are, I'd be concerned - you're partying like it's 1973.
In a new series launching this year, Vintage Leisure spotlights the many American actors who prolonged their careers by working internationally. Some came back very much in demand and forged successful second acts in Hollywood, others made their homes in Europe where they stayed and became major stars. Some were just cashing in.
