Born on this date: Robert McKim in 1886; Ruth Roland in 1882; Richard Wallace in 1894; Phil Baker in 1896; Yvette Vickers in 1928; and Ann E. Todd in 1931.
All links lead to each actor's IMDb page, set to open in a new tab.
Classic Movie Daily subscribers will find two images of Ruth Roland at the very bottom of today's issue, plus a couple smaller shots of other stars born August 26 at the bottom of this post. The bulk of today's mailing is given over to TCM's featured star of the day, Greta Garbo.
TCM TV Alerts through tomorrow at 7 am:
These titles play on TCM's US schedule and all quoted times are for my own local Eastern time zone.
—Wednesday, TCM Summer Under the Stars, Greta Garbo day (TCM.com link).
A little different focus on today's TCM schedule with the return of Picto-Sked elsewhere in this mailing. Picto-Sked is self-explanatory once you reach it, but basically I've outlined today's entire Garbo on TCM schedule by illustrating each film with a vintage newspaper ad. Hope you like it!
—Thursday's Summer Under the Stars spends 24 hours with Monty Woolley (TCM.com link) beginning with Live, Love and Learn (1937) starring Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell at 6:00 am.
Cliff's Note
—Today's Daily is short, just a wrapper for the other features in Wednesday's mailing. A lot of Garbo there. Enjoy!
—My 10-50% sale continues in my eBay Store through the end of the month. I'll also continue to plug it here until that time.
Have a great day,
Cliff
