Star of the month: IRENE DUNNE

Irene Dunne has been a frequent topic of conversation on my blogs. She had one heck of a year in 2011 on my other blog, All Good Things. First she won the Favorite Classic Actress tournament, beating the likes of Carole Lombard, Barbara Stanwyck, Grace Kelly and Vivien Leigh. Then she was the top ranked star for the year as well. Ahead of Cary Grant even. Wow! Impressive indeed! And now she is Screwball Cinema's first star of the month. I will share all my thoughts on why Irene is my 2nd most favorite actress ever. She sits right behind my girl Carole. You know Irene seems to be getting the best of Carole lately. After defeating her in the tourney last year, she also beat Carole in a poll I did her on Screwball Cinema asking for the favorite screwball comedy queen. Yep, Irene won that too. So please stop by to check out all what I will be doing for the amazing Ms. Dunne!

A new feature on Screwball Cinema...Star Of The Month

I wrote earlier that I had slacked off a little here on Screwball Cinema and was going try to write more this year. I do quite a bit on my main blog, All Good Things and co-writing several other ones with my friends Dawn and Irene. I was thinking about holding a tournament trying to decide the favorite screwball comedy of all time. Probably sometime later on in the year. But for now I will add a new feature called Star of the month where I focus on a specific star who has a regular component of screwball comedies. Beginning next month with Irene Dunne, who starred in such classics as The Awful Truth and Theodora Goes Wild. Hope to see everyone here next month.
