Re: Top 10 Highest Paid Movie Actresses
Ha, so I'm watching "Monkey Business" today on TCM. It stars Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant.
Of course, I tune in because as I said I like Ginger Rogers. She was noticeably older in this movie seeing as it was released in 1952 which would make Ginger 41. (I've only seen her earlier movies until today).
The whole time though there's this really cute girl that plays Lois Laurel and I'm thinking, "Who is that? I bet she becomes a big star."
Now I check IMDB and how stupid do I feel to learn it's freaking Marilyn Monroe.
edit: Well, I feel a lot better after reading a viewer review of the movie and seeing that this movie was made before Monroe became a big star. The reviewer even credits her presence on the screen for being indicative to her star quality. I guess I wasn't the only one thinking the same as I watched the movie.Last edited by CMH; 12-03-2006, 02:53 PM."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Pretty good movie, i've only seen it once though.
Oh and I wish my cable provider would hurry up and add TCM to their channel listings. Most Canadian carriers have it yet the biggest cable carrier in the country doesn't.

EDIT: Just for my peace of mind, TCM and AMC (meh) will be launching on Rogers in Feb. "does a happy dance".Last edited by SPTO; 12-03-2006, 04:39 PM.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Elizabeth Taylor was actually the first movie star to make 1 million dollars when she signed on for the lead role in Cleopatra(1963). Because of delays in filming her salary swelled to an incredible 7 million dollars.Comment

Ha, I'm sure if you compared inflation that would be the doom of most movie productions in this age."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

I think I read somewhere that adjusted for inflation that Cleopatra was the biggest Box Office bomb until Gigli came along.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
