StinkyLulu's "Supporting Actress Smackdown"s are my favorite thing about the last Sunday in each month. Today he and his rotating team of actress freaks (I couldn't participate due to my trip) take on Grace Kelly in Mogambo, Geraldine Page in Honcho, Marjorie Rambeau in Torch Song, Thelma Ritter in Pickup on South Street and Donna Reed in the best picture winner From Here To Eternity, the supporting actress field of 1953. They dismiss Oscar's eventual choice (Donna Reed in From Here To Eternity ... I'm fond of her performance and the film) but their imaginary winner results are a true nail biter. If Charlie Parker..., participates unknowingly in this Smackdown delivering a photo of Grace Kelly preparing for a role.
