Shh…scandalous. Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh wait, we are in 2024, not 1956. Carry on.

I read Peyton Place in 2017 & instantly loved it. I didn’t know there was a sequel until some time after, but it was one of those books I would just never think to put on my search list (maybe b/c there’s 40 million others already on it). I came across this copy of Return to Peyton Place 2 days ago. I was also waiting to find this exact edition, because uh, edition snob. Anyway, I am not a re-reader, but I’m going to make an exception, b/c I can’t wait to dive back in.

Some quick facts: Peyton Place sold 60K copies in 10 days & was on the NYT bestseller list for 59 weeks. The author, Grace Metalious died at 39 from cirrhosis of the liver. #books #photography #peytonplace

Vintage copies of Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place, some toothpicks, and a toothpick container with a black and yellow lid, which matches the books quite nicely.

RIP, #RyanONeal, Dead at 82.

#Branded 13 (1965) - 8/10
Action-filled western adventure.

1️⃣ Bank robbers take advantage of newly-deserted town, almost everyone having left to stake claims at a nearby silver mine. Can McCord stop them?

2️⃣ Good story idea by series creator #LarryCohen (#TheInvaders). Teleplay by #JohnWilder (#SpenserForHire) and #JerryZiegman (#PeytonPlace).

3️⃣ #JohnnyCrawford, who starred with #ChuckConnors in #TheRifleman, is the main guest star.

Watching Twin Peaks for the Genreless Podcast inspired me to watch a movie on my must-see list for decades, #PeytonPlace. It was excellent. Parts were dated as it's from 1957, and others were still incredibly poignant to current times. A must-see for any other soap opera fans out there.

#DianaHyland (1936–1977) would have been 87 today.

Remembering American stage & screen actress Mildred Dunnock born on this date in 1901. She was twice nominated for an Academy Award: first Death of a Salesman in 1951, then Baby Doll in 1956 - She was also nominated for 2 Golden Globes - Not an easy feat for a woman whose carrer was essentially that of a character actress. A founding member of The Actor’s Studio, some of her other big screen appearances were in The Trouble with Harry (1955), Peyton Place (1957), Butterfield 8 (1960) and Sweet Bird of Youth (1962) and she originated the role of Big Mama in Tennessee Williams’ play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. In 1991 she passed away, aged 90, from natural causes in Oak Bluffs, on Martha’s Vineyard, although at that time she was a resident of nearby West Tisbury #mildreddunnock #actress #rememberlegends #birthdayremembrance #oscarnominee #characteractress #goldenglobenominee #bestsupportingactress #deathofasalesman #babydoll #catonahottinroof #peytonplace #sweetbirdofyouth #jamesdean #stageactress #filmactress #film #bigscreen #filmworld #filmclips #tvclips #butterfield8 #troublewithharry #filmlegend #academyawardnominee

"I loved #TwinPeaks because it was such a great gig. First, I hadn’t worked in a long time, so it was great to have a job again, and second, it was such a far-out series.”

Oscar nominee #RussTamblyn in 88 today.

Read this for research. My enthusiasm for it waned quickly, but picked up a bit near the end. I think it remains relevant due to its social-historical context, and Grace Metalious is a fascinating figure to me, but I wanted to enjoy reading this more than I did.
