HOLIDAY CHEER - Paulette Goddard

Paulette on Christmas morning

Paulette is victorious over Jeanne...

I guess Paulette is gonna celebrate her win with some bananas?...strange girl...

Paulette Goddard won her first ever match play event by beating Jeanne Crain 16-5. It was Crain's second loss as she remains winless. But good news for Goddard fans as she won very impressively. Look for the next match within a few days.

Kitty (1945) on TCM Thursday, Feb 4th at 10pm EST

Another classic film that I have never seen but will be watching is the 1945 comedy Kitty with Paulette Goddard and Ray Milland. Directed by Mitchell Leisen. Paulette is a 18th century wench who gets involved with nobility. I can't wait to see this film. I love Paulette. She is a natural comedienne and was extremely talented.
