March 4, 1937.
#TheGreatZiegfeld won BP at the 9th #Oscars  ⁠.

Funny that William Powell was forced to carry most of that whole long picture with his performance and charm–and then no Academy nomination. #TheGreatZiegfeld #TCMParty

I *do* love how Flo can always take life on the chin and pop right back up like you might as well have been trying to drown a buoy 🛟, even if it gets a little harder at times. Probably goes without saying it's the most charming part of the picture. #TheGreatZiegfeld #TCMParty

Apparently, according to Billie Burke's biographer, her first choice to play her younger self was Miriam Hopkins...
And the more I think about it, the more I can totally see the possibilities!

I first saw #TheGreatZiegfeld when I was a teen and already a Thin Man fan–so I was always just waiting for Myrna Loy. But in my old age, Luise Rainer's performance has become my near favourite part of the movie, I love all of Anna's mannerisms, way of speaking, quirks. #TCMParty
