    9:15 The role of the Nanny (in 1965's The Nanny) was originally intended for Greer who at first accepted then quickly declined. Jimmy Sangster who wrote and produced the film later said, "I went to Santa Fe and met with Greer, and she said she liked the script, and everything was fine. When I got back to London, we had a message from Los Angeles saying that Greer Garson didn't think the script would do her career much good. I didn't like to say she didn't have a career in those days."

      I guess it's all subjective but I disagree. Crawford did not have the benefit of Garson's classical stage training in England. Considering the penurious background she came from, Crawford was brilliant in all her interviews - just as thoughtful and articulate and humble. Then of course you have people like Audrey Hepburn and Deborah Kerr who were also great in the interviews they gave. I don't think Greer Garson comes across "better"

    1:12 Norma Shearer had sadly passed away a few years before this interview so I guess Greer wasn't aware Norma had passed? But Norma was a divine actress and despite the reputation they have I very much enjoy her last two films. Apparently Norma was approached for Mrs. Miniver while she was amidst production of We Were Dancing. Norma's last film Her Cardboard Lover was released the same month as Mrs. Miniver which was June 1942.
    Norma apparently turned Miniver down because she didn't want to play a mother. Whatever the reason I think Shearer would've been just as wonderful as Greer Garson was in the role (any doubters should watch Norma in 1940's Escape). This is one of those rare films that I can actually picture someone else in the title role other than the person who ended up doing it.

    These old stars were so insulated, even from their own transgressions, they really believed their world was a less evil one. The studios shielded them from their own illicit, unfavorable, and sometimes criminal behaviors. During their day people were incrediblely racist, sexist, half of their peers were alcoholics, they were cheating and divorcing as much as anyone now, and many of the starlets of that time had secret abortions, etc. These stars and their peers were not saints by any means. They lived during times of real socio-economic abundance (1950s) so of course everything afterwards would never be as good. While I agree that manners, social etiquette, work ethics etc are all important and were possibly better then, I do think these old stars were a bit deluded in their views of the world being better back in their haydays. Christ they made endless movies about gangsters alone, so obviously crime was a thing. Still, I love and admire their work and glamor.
