Just finished Pillow Talk--poor Thelma Ritter!
Pillow Talk was her sixth Oscar nomination, and instead of going to the ceremony, she held an "Come and Watch Me Lose Again" party at her home!

Needless to say, she did lose again.

What a character--I love watching her on screen.

1. Amen!
SUCH a great actress. Her death scene in "Pickup on South STreet" is one of the greats.

2. At least she won a Tony! I dind't know that Miracle on 34th Street
was her first film--did you ever see that one? It's a short scene, but it's pure Thelma!
