Your Classic Movies Newsletter for April 27, 2010

Welcome to your Classic Movies Newsletter for the week of April 27, 2010.

This week: Updated tributes to Glenn Ford and Audrey Hepburn, plus our annual salute to Mother's Day.

This coming week we celebrate birthdays for living legends Celeste Holm (1917), Danielle Darrieux (May 1, 1917) and Theodore Bikel (May 2, 1924). Last week we included birthday wishes for Barbara Streisand, who turned 68 on April 24, but mistakenly listed the date as April 14. This was merely a typographical error.

A Tribute to Audrey Hepburn
Perhaps the most universally beloved of all classic Hollywood actresses, Audrey was also the epitome of class right to the very end.

Moms in the Movies
Our annual Mother's Day article -- a time to look at how classic Hollywood treated the subject of motherhood. It's a mixed bag, it seems. For every Stella Dallas, there's a Mommie Dearest.

A Tribute to Glenn Ford
Though he retired more than a decade ago, and passed away in 2006, the durable star of Gilda still has many loyal fans.
A Tribute to Glenn Ford

A Tribute to Shirley Temple
America's most beloved child star grew up to be an ambassador and a businesswoman, but before that she was Dimples and Curly Top.
A Tribute to Shirley Temple

A Tribute to Jack Nicholson
A living legend if ever there was one, Jack is one of the younger members of the classic actors club, an 11-time Oscar nominee who appeared in a number of 60s and 70s classics and continues to entertain us in the 21st century.
A Tribute to Jack Nicholson

A Tribute to William Holden
The Golden Boy achieved stardom almost overnight, and was voted #25 on the American Film Institute greatest actors list. Three Oscar nominations are proof that he deserved his fame.

A Tribute to Anthony Quinn
The Oscar-winning Mexican-born actor was known for his robust portrayals of characters of varied ethnicities, including one particularly memorable Greek named Zorba.
A Tribute to Anthony Quinn

A Tribute to Charlie Chaplin
He was the first movie star millionaire, the biggest star of the silent film era, and an astute businessman who made sure that he would not be forgotten. He hasn't been.
