Mary Boland movies: Scene-stealing actress has her ‘Summer Under the Stars’ day on TCM Turner Classic Movies will dedicate the next 24 hours, Sunday, August 4, 2013, not to Lana Turner, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Esther Williams, or Bette Davis — TCM’s frequent Warner Bros., MGM, and/or Rko stars — but to the marvelous scene-stealer Mary Boland. A stage actress who was featured in a handful of movies in the 1910s, Boland came into her own as a stellar film supporting player in the early ’30s, initially at Paramount and later at most other Hollywood studios. First, the bad news: TCM’s "Summer Under the Stars" Mary Boland Day will feature only two movies from Boland’s Paramount period: the 1935 Best Picture Academy Award nominee Ruggles of Red Gap, which TCM has shown before, and one TCM premiere.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center, which earlier this month honored the living legend Sidney Poitier with a beautiful tribute, will soon be celebrating the recently deceased legend Elizabeth Taylor with one, as well. (Taylor died of congestive heart failure at the age of 79 in March.)
The retrospective, which is cutely titled “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” will feature screenings and photos of Taylor’s work. Many of the actress’ most acclaimed works, including “National Velvet” (1944), “Father of the Bride” (1950), “A Place in the Sun” (1951), “Giant” (1956), “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (1958), and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966) — as well as a few rarely-seen gems, such as “Julia Misbehaves” (1948), a romantic-comedy in which the 16-year-old Taylor receives her first on-screen kiss, and a 70mm “deluxe screening” of her epic bomb “Cleopatra” (1963) — will be shown on the big screen at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater from May 20 through May 22. Additionally,...
