Forbidden Planet itself was just on TCM yesterday!


So Nielsen and now Francis inside of a month and a half of each other.

What Twilight Zone ep was that, CG?

Just watched her on a Twilight Zone this weekend.





It was a black and white weekend for us too.  TZ and the Stooges were both on. 

I always liked her.

 I got to see her a few years ago. She was a guest at Wonderfest and they showed Forbidden Planet that weekend at a local theater.  It was remarkable to see her and a classic movie on a big screen.
