How a Country Bumpkin Turned Into the 'King of Hollywood' | Flashback | OZY

The Clark Gable who became a box-office star bore little resemblance to the young man from Ohio who first arrived in Tinseltown.

"MGM gave Gable’s masculinity yet another boost. The studio revamped his wardrobe, taught him how to fish and be an outdoorsman and encouraged him to drive sports cars, not the beat-up pickups he preferred. “Gable was a complete studio creation,” says E.J. Fleming, the author of several books on early Hollywood. “The Clark Gable that everybody saw in the movies was the antithesis of the real Clark Gable.”

Court OKs demolition of Hollywood building for Frank Gehry project, dealing a blow to preservationists

In a defeat for preservationists, a three-judge appellate court panel cleared the way for the demolition of a 1960 bank building in Hollywood. At the same time, the court sent the redevelopment project back to the city for more work.

Yet another piece of LA's history will soon be a victim of the LA City Council's greed, and the myopia of residents who don't understand our history. We need an organization that is effective to replace the pathetic LA Conservancy while there are still buildings left to save.

Leftism has completed its transformation into full 21st century Jim Crow. They legitimize their own bigotry by pathetically cloaking it in their own santimonious sense of virtue. It is hypocrisy in the extreme.

Why Every Actress on The Hollywood Reporter Roundtable Cover Is White - Hollywood Reporter

Each year, I and several other Hollywood Reporter editors put together the roundtables that are a defining element of this publication’s awards coverage through the Emmy and Oscar seasons.

The authors says" "The awful truth is that there are no minority actresses in genuine contention for an Oscar this year. Straight Outta Compton, which has provided some great roles for African-American men (and whose success adds proof that studios ignore minority audiences at their peril) had no female leads. Furious 7? Not quite Oscar bait."

Then goes on to say that he is "appalled" that all of the actresses on the cover are white. This is the mindset of the Left. Ability and achievement mean less than skin color. Would you like to be the black actress who knew hat she was there only because of her skin colors so that white liberals don't have to feel guilty?
