Apocalyptic disaster movies always do well at the box office so the hype around it was pretty big and so many were disappointed. If you haven't seen it allready you should watch Greenland.It's a bit more realistic than most disaster movies, at the start at least. And Gerard Butler gets to speak in his real Scottish accent for a change ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mainstream but not leading ladies. Then the likes of Eartha Kitt, Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Lena Horne broke the mould in leading roles in the 40s–60s. Tyson never actually had a lead role in a Hollywood blockbuster until the early 70s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying Probably 578 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) At age 101, I think she should have her own thread by now. She had tiny roles in "Gone with the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz". @Paul Bearer please tell me this doesn't already exist... Edited February 2, 2021 by Death Impends Thread for Caren Marsh Doll merged into Hollywood thread. More of a film history curiosity than a major threadworthy name.
