janiejonesYesterday was Greta Garbo's birthday, so I watched some of the stuff the Turner Classics channel had on, including 3 documentaries. Now I must add her to the list of old film stars I am fascinated by.
One thing I thought was really funny was that during Garbo's relationship with John Gilbert, when they starred in several films together, the press sometimes referred to them as "Gilbo." Ha! Sixty-something years before Bennifer and Brangelina. I should've known there's nothing new under the sun.
I haven't watched the Studio 60 premiere yet. ::gasp:: Last night I was too tired, and today I'm waiting because S wants to watch it with me. (I know, such willpower!) I've looked at the recorded shows several times today, and I must--fight--the--urge to watch. If it didn't clearly mark the show as viewed, I would've broken down long ago.
