Co-Hosted by Dorian Tenore-Bartilucci of Tales of the Easily Distracted
and R.A. Kerr of Silver Screenings.
It all started in February with the CMBA’s
recent Fabulous Films of The 1940s Blogathon. For my TotED post, I blogged about one of
my longtime favorites, the World War 2 comedy-thriller Across the Pacific (1941), starring three of my favorite
classic film stars, Humphrey Bogart,
Mary Astor, and Sydney Greenstreet. (They
were all awesome in The Maltese Falcon, too, of course, but I’m sure others would
love to tackle this classic; don’t want to be greedy!) As the comments rolled in, it became clear
that many of us participating in the Blogathon also love the witty, beautiful, versatile
Ms. Astor! (As a bonus, Mary has always
reminded me of my Auntie Joy, my wonderful Mom’s older sister; but I
digress…) I began to joke with other
bloggers about the possibility of a Mary Astor Blogathon, and people were
liking the idea, and happily, a Blogathon was born!
This wouldn’t be strictly a CMBA blogathon, but simply a fun, casual affair open to all who love Mary's movies, and wish to participate.
While we won't keep people from doing the same films, we
will let everyone know what films have been "taken" on this page, so
you can keep track.
To sign up, visit the main Blogathon page and leave a comment with your info, or contact either myself, Dorian
Tenore-Bartilucci or R.A. Kerr
