TCM In August

Gene Tierney
Time once again for the Hollywood Revue's monthly preview of programming on Turner Classic Movies.  August is "Summer Under the Stars" month, with stars getting their own day of films.  Gene Tierney (above) started off the month on Saturday, but there are still many great stars ahead, including Mae Clarke, Virginia Bruce, Monty Woolley, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., along with the old favorites like John Wayne, Katherine Hepburn, etc.
