I meant the film. I didn't realise there was a TV series. I must have got the dates wrong, sorry.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I have adjusted the results so that the movie 9 to 5 came in second at 36 points.
I didn't know there was a tv-series either and almost mixed up the years for the movie and tv-series too so it's an easy mistake to make!

 

[Sarah]

I like him but I’m still not over his eyebrows in OJ Simpson or his Imani Azeem thing or whatever it was at the Oscars.

 

[Willie Oleson]

I thought he was very good in American Crime Story. You didn't like it, Sarah?

 

[Toni]

I´m afraid I also pass this time. Sorry, Karin...

Thank you for joining in.
Is this the list of your favorite movies of all times?

The reason I ask is because this month we have been spotlighting John Travolta movies and I don't think he starred in any of the movies you just mentioned.

Okay next up we have an actress from the golden era of Hollywood...



Joan Crawford was an American actress and dancer. She was born on March 23, 1904 in San Antonio, Texas, USA. She got the name Lucille Fay LeSueur. She was of French, English, Swedish and Irish descent. She was the youngest of three siblings. Her father was a construction worker who abandoned the family when Crawford was still a baby. Her mother remarried a man who worked within the theatre.

Crawford began her career working as a dancer and within the theatre. In 1925 she began working in silent movies. It was when she got a contract with MGM that they changed her name to Joan Crawford. She got her big break with Our Dancing Daughters (1928). She had a successful career during Hollywood’s golden age and won on Oscar for Mildred Pierce (1948). All together she made approximately 90 movies. But which one is your favorite?

Totals: In August.


Thank you to @Toni for requesting this star.
