#TheBestYearsOfOurLives

Writing to #FredricMarch before filming on #TheBestYearsOfOurLives, #WilliamWyler reminded him that Al needed to look like he’d been on combat duty in the Pacific. “...very important that your figure suggests a K-ration diet, rather than the '21 Club'." #TCMParty

Happy 😇 Birthday to #MyrnaLoy, seen here in the uniform she wore while assisting the #RedCross during #WWII. Those experiences informed her performance as Milly in #TheBestYearsofOurLives. #TCMParty #OldHollywood

Every time I watch this movie, I am amazed at Harold Russell's acting ability, especially since he'd only been in one film prior to this one. What a performance (an Oscar-winning one, too!). #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives

For Milly they needed an actress that exudes goodness but in a natural, realistic way. Loy fit the bill. #TheBestYearsOfOurLives #TCMParty

We all need a friend like this 💙 #TCMParty #TheBestYearsofOurLives

I've noted this before, but one of my few peeks into the interior life of my loving but stern maternal grandma, Oleta (farmwoman), was when I discovered "Sweetie Pie" penciled in her handwriting across Hoagy Carmichael's face on the sheet music for Star Dust.

Homer mentioned serving on CVs. My dad served on about 7 or 8 different aircraft carriers during his 25 years in the Navy. He enlisted in 1943 when he was 17 (2 weeks before he turned 18 so he wouldn’t get drafted in the Army). He was 92 in this pic.❤️ #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives #USSHornet

In June 1947, Anna Mitchell of Staten Island purchased the millionth ticket for #TheBestYearsofOurLives at the Astor Theatre in NYC. James Mulvey, president of #SamuelGoldwyn's company, presented the stunned 72-year-old widow with a silver vanity case. #TCMParty

Happy Heavenly Memorial Day, Dad. #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives
