Curio: Dolly Days
Alexa here. With Dolly getting most of the votes in Nathaniel's poll, I felt it necessary to point out that, along with making some Joyful Noise of late, she is also celebrating a birthday this week. While she's had an uneven film presence during her career (Straight Talk was not exactly the vehicle we would hope for her), she can coast on the combined effect of 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias to qualify as a film star. So here's a few curios to celebrate the Queen of Country's 66 years.

Love that retro-style poster.
She really was terrific in those two movies - and very smart, to make sure that she was surrounded with other top-shelf actors (as my mom noted back in the day "if it bombs she doesn't carry the blame). That she was able to prove herself equal to the likes of Tomlin, Fonda, Field, Dukakis etc makes me a regret a little that she didn't want to do movies more.
I am watching "Rhinestone" tonight!
Sigh. Whatta woman! Saw her in concert in November and she was divine.
I agree. That's a nice retro-style poster. And this blog is very interesting. I enjoyed spending time here.
