Julie doing “stuff” with famous people (17th post)

Behind the scenes of BODY AND SOUL, director Robert Rossen rushes behind Julie. Rossen was a screenwriter for three of Julie’s earlier films: DUST BE MY DESTINY, THE SEA WOLF, and OUT OF THE FOG.

Before a scene is filmed for HE RAN ALL THE WAY, a camera crew member test tones on Julie and Shelly Winters with a light meter.

Julie, Jennifer Jones and director, John Huston get a kick out of a visitor to the set of WE WERE STRANGERS.

Richard Conte and Ruth Hussey take in an event with Julie as spectators. Not sure what the event was but they seem to be enjoying their conversation.

Julie with Ramon Novarro on the set of WE WERE STRANGERS.

In the first Hollywood Players radio program, Rex Harrison, Julie and Gregory Peck present flowers to Bette Davis after her performance of a one-act play based on Charles Dickens' "The Old Curiosity Shop” in 1946.

AND…Julie and Oscar Levant in a still from HUMORESQUE.

A publicity shot featuring Julie and Cary Grant makes use of a DESTINATION TOKYO still to tout war bonds, the movie and the stars.

Did anyone else have a composer-stan phase as a child or were y'all like, normal?

This question brought to you by: I just heard Sean Hayes (love him) is playing Oscar Levant (obsessed!) in Good Night, Oscar right now (apparently not new but new to me) and I'm reminded how TURNT I got on Levant and Gershwin as a kid.

The clerk who is thrown out of work By the boss who is thrown for a loss By the skirt who is doing him dirt The world is a stage The stage is a world of entertainment!

"That's Entertainment!" from The Band Wagon (1953) – music by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Howard Dietz; performed by Jack Buchanan, Nanette Fabray, Oscar Levant, and Fred Astaire

As perhaps the most memorable original song in one of MGM's best musicals, "That's Entertainment!" has taken a life of its own as one of the studio's (and Hollywood's) unofficial anthems. Appearing in the opening act of The Band Wagon, a friend of actors gleefully perform together just as they are about to go into rehearsals for a musical comedy.

"That's Entertainment!" was also the title name of three documentaries detailing MGM's history – the first in 1974 (when the studio was on the verge of demolishing its storied soundstages, which are now home to Sony Pictures Studios), the second in in 1976, and the final one in 1994.

One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

An American in Paris / Ensemble cast, including Leslie Caron, Nina Foch, Gene Kelly, Oscar Levant, and Georges Guétary

What better post for Halloween, and to finish up the this month's theme, than a giant costume party where all the costumes are black and white? There's a special closeup on Leslie Caron's costume at the bottom, but the effect of all the costumes together is what really makes the scene.

The variety of costumes in this sequence is just dizzying. Check them out here:
