TCM Schedule for Wednesday, May 25th: Extra Mayo

[CBHagman]

Director Archie Mayo, that is.

Before that, there's a Rosalind Russell theme going on, though I'm not certain why. It isn't her birthday till next month, I believe. But PBS is also running a documentary on her this week, so perhaps there's some significance I'm missing. :shrug:

1. hey CBH!

I forgot to post earlier, but I did want to share that I caught a couple of the Rosalind Russell features on Wednesday! It was fantastic-

When is the PBS special on her? did I miss it already?

2. D'oh! I just saw your message.

ld, it seems that Life Is a Banquet: The Rosalind Russell Story has aired different times/dates on different PBS stations across the country. You might go to the PBS website and feed it your ZIP Code to find out more details on your local stations.

The show aired here in the Washington, D.C., area on WETA, which has a trailer on their website:
