Just not getting how Stella Stevens qualifies for SUTS. Seems to me there are many others who should have qualified ahead of her. (OK, now beat me up!) |

Any particular actors that you all are aware of that have not yet been featured on Summer Under the Stars?

Fun Fact about tomorrow's SUTS honoree, Jackie Cooper: He is the first member of Our Gang to have a SUTS day.

I assume one major reason is that she just passed away on February 17th of this year. While I tend to agree with you that she was mostly a supporting character actor, don't we wish for TCM to highlight such actors during SUTS instead of just stars? |

Also, they show Margaret Sullavan's MGM films but not her Universal films. Since she did not make a lot of films, to give her a full day in August, they'd have to borrow her Universal titles which they have not done. |

Although, I guess it makes sense if TCM doesn't have the rights to many of their films. |

A lot of the big moneymakers from Universal haven't had a day in August. These include Audie Murphy, Yvonne DeCarlo, Deanna Durbin, Dan Duryea, Jeff Chandler and Robert Stack.

I really don't know why they haven't done a day for Margaret Sullavan. Half her work was at MGM, so it's not like a whole day in August would consist of titles outside the Turner Library. And she really does deserve a day-long tribute.

I can honestly say I never thought of Anthony Perkins as beautiful. But I did appreciate his versatile talent. But I do understand some women might have found him attractive. Sepiatone Only some women? Perkins is a gay icon. You're forgetting that for many years, millions of women used to drool over Rock Hudson. But guess what?  Sepiatone |

I don't see any problem with Stella Stevens having a day.
Any star who made as many movies over as many years should easily qualify.

Sepiatone I wasn't questioning if some women drooled over Perkins (or Hudson): Of course, that was the case. I was questioning why you only mentioned women since many men also here drawn to both of these very handsome men. |

Perkins is a gay icon. He's a homosexual icon now. But in the late 50's he was featured in many teen and movie mags as a dreamy young star to the girls. I remember one magazine with a headline like "Girl Fans Moving from James Dean to Tony Perkins". And Perkins actually had a couple of pop records on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1959/60. |
