I'd think of Hepburn and Gable. Spencer Tracy. Joan Crawford.

And Bette Davis. Definitely Bette Davis. I guess "magic" is a dumb and overworked word but they all had it and she bad it In spades. Tonight. on "Salute to Bette Davis" (Ch 4 at 9:30) we get a chance to see a bunch of her old film clips "Dark Victory," "The Letter," "The Little Foxes." "Now Voyager" and "All About Eve." What delicious movies those were.

After two Oscars, 10 Oscar nominations and 80 films, the veteran actress is being honored by the American Film Institute. She's the first woman to receive the Institute's Life Achievement Award.

Just flew over and we all ran out of the house to gaze up into the sky when we heard his motor. Another thing which made a great impression was when I heard my father say that Gov. Huey P.

Long was coming to town to make a speech at the football field. Of course, Long was only coming from the neighboring state of Louisiana but as far as I was concerned he could have been arriving from Mars. Tonight, Long, who was shot in 1935 at the age of 42, will be portrayed on the tube by none other than Ed Asner in "The Life and Assassination of the Kingfish," (Ch 7 at 9). It's a Juicy role for Asner and he's excellent in the part. The movie itself, however, is a confusing hodgepodge of flashbacks and is filled with ill-defined characters.
