Nancy Olson (Betty Schaefer in "Sunset Boulevard") Interviewed on The Hollywood Reporter's Podcast!
Nancy is age 96, but she sounds lucid and fantastic in this interview from February. If you're anything like me, and I think you probably are, you'll be in heaven listening to this. Search for "It Happened in Hollywood" on your podcast app. There's no video.
She has some really interesting and wise things to say about the nature of fame and Hollywood, themes of the movie itself which had a big impact on her.
Here's a preview of the podcast: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/sunset-boulevard-nancy-olson-oscars-podcast-1236149035/

Would you consider Dark Winds on AMC a western noir series?
If so, what do you think? Me and my wife love the acting, setting, and Native American themes sprinkled throughout.

Jean Hagen, Sterling Hayden, "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950)
Film noir has its share of mobsters, but are they the same as the ones in the gangster films of the 1930s? Don’t bet on it.

Heritage Auctions: Dwight Cleveland’s Legendary Collection of Rare Movie Posters
Collectors who single-handedly define an entire market are exceedingly rare, and Dwight Cleveland is one of them. On March 27-28, Heritage offers the cream of the Chicago-based Cleveland’s collection in a single-owner auction and proves that his acumen, enthusiasm and strategy of collecting cinema’s greatest movie posters — from Golden-Age Hollywood classics — such as Casablanca and King Kong, to the esoterica of international interpretations of familiar favorites like Cabaret and Barbarella, to one-of-a-kind lobby cards dating back to the early 1900s — has landed him at the top of the collector and philanthropic hierarchy. Cleveland’s storied collection is distinguished by a key factor: He collects his materials based on the seduction and impact of their imagery, artistry and history rather than the more usual practice of building a collection around, say, an era, a genre or a movie star.
This auction, offering the cream of Cleveland’s collection, is the first of several that will showcase further gems from Cleveland’s trove as Heritage continues its relationship with the powerhouse collector. Says Cleveland, “I hope Heritage’s clients and all movie and art lovers experience that same initial lightning bolt I felt when viewing these rare treasures for the first time.” For images and information about all the lots in Heritages’ March 27-28 Cinema on Paper: The Dwight M. Cleveland Collection Movie Posters Signature® Auction, please go here: https://movieposters.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=7402
