@joeo10 @dancinyogi. Iconic. Will be rewatching. Hard to pick favorite episode. #RuthGordon? #JohnnyCash? So many to choose from! What's your favorite #Columbo episode?

Teresa Wright, Spencer Tracy and Jean Simmons in “The Actress” (1953), written by Ruth Gordon.

The autobiographical nature of this caught me by surprise as I wouldn’t have guessed she was old enough to be talking about “President Taft” and referring to the death of Grover Cleveland as a 17-year-old. I mean, I remember when Ruth Gordon was alive and … well, I’d better stop there.

Tonight in 1969 – #RuthGordon won her first (and only) Oscar for #RosemarysBaby.

“I can’t tell you how encouraging a thing like this is,” she quipped (after 54 years in the business).

watched the #Columbo episode with the transcendent #RuthGordon. The writing was, of course, perfection (as was the scene at the wharf with "Dog"), but what was especially lovely was seeing how clearly happy Peter Falk was to be acting with Ruth Gordon. He loved the character she played (totally believable as a writer of murder mysteries) and loved her.

#CultFilmFacts: The Westgate Theater in Edina, MN played nothing but the movie Harold and Maude from mid-1972 to June of 1974. Ruth Gordon made an on-stage appearance for the one year anniversary, and returned with Bud Cort for the second. After protests, they eventually showed a new film after 1,957 screenings.
