"Lynch’s book is organized and well-written – and has plenty of amusing observations – but when it comes to describing Blyth’s movies, Lynch’s writing sparkles." - Ruth Kerr, Silver Screenings

"Jacqueline T. Lynch creates a poignant and thoroughly-researched mosaic of memories of a fine, upstanding human being who also happens to be a legendary entertainer." - Deborah Thomas, Java's Journey

"One of the great strengths of Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star. is that Lynch not only gives an excellent overview of Blyth's career -- she offers detailed analyses of each of Blyth's roles -- but she puts them in the context of the larger issues of the day."- Amanda Garrett, Old Hollywood Films

"Jacqueline's book will hopefully cause many more people to take a look at this multitalented woman whose career encompassed just about every possible aspect of 20th Century entertainment." - Laura Grieve, Laura's Miscellaneous Musings''

"Jacqueline T. Lynch’s Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star. is an extremely well researched undertaking that is a must for all Blyth fans." - Annette Bochenek, Hometowns to Hollywood

Two films with Ann Blyth in TCM's "31 Days of Oscar"


Turner Classic Movies celebrates the Oscars this month in its annual "31 Days of Oscar" with two Ann Blyth movies.  Today, we are treated to The Great Caruso (1951) and on Saturday, March 20th, we visit again the sociopathic machinations of Ann's character Veda in Mildred Pierce (1945).


The Great Caruso
is part of a day of honoring 1950s winning films, and Mildred Pierce on Saturday is a day devote to winners in the Best Actress category, which, of course, means Joan Crawford in her role as Ann's beleaguered mother.

Ann Blyth's Oscar-nominated role in MILDRED PIERCE - 1945


According to gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, who reported in December 1947, “…Of all the promising youngsters in our town, I predict the brightest future for Ann. 
She’s got it. In Mildred Pierce, she stole many scenes from the star.”

TCM resisted the temptation to put this film-noir view of mother-daughter love on Mother's Day this year, but we see it's on the schedule for today. 

Have a look here at Ann Blyth's Oscar-nominated role in Mildred Pierce at this post on my Another Old Movie Blog. For more on the movie, and her career, have a look at 
my book on Ann's career -- Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star.
