Wonder Women

"Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman: all the world's waiting for you, and the powers you possess ... get us out from under, Wonder Woman!" (How did Bobby Van get to be more "special" then Anne Francis and Dick Van Patten?)

"Batgirl, Batgirl: where do you come from, where do you go? What is your scene baby, we just got to know ... yeah, who's baby are you?" (Quite possibly the best thing. Ever. Put. On. Television.)

"Electrawoman and Dynagirl, fighting all evil deeds. Each works for a magazine, hiding the life she leads ... Electrawoman and Dynagirl!" (Note the lesbian subtext.)

Costume Dramas: Audrey Hepburn Edition

Welcome to Costume Dramas, an occasional feature spotlighting memorable movie costumes. And who better to spotlight first then the best dressed woman in cinematic history, Audrey Hepburn.

Has there ever been, before or since, an actress that was as effortlessly glamorous as Audrey? From the legendary black dress of her Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's to the flower girl gone upper crust stylings of her Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, her classic look has made her a fashion icon for the ages. No wonder the Gap used her Funny Face image to hawk their unworthy wares in an infamous commercial. Heck, she even made a habit look good in The Nun's Story.

Of course, Audrey merely wore the clothes; but the designers behind them were amply rewarded beyond that honor: six of her films were nominated for Best Costume Design, with three ultimately winning the Oscar.

Tune in to TCM: A Crawford Centennial

Leave it to our patron saint, Joan Crawford, to lie about her age. Her date of birth is tomorrow, March 23, but the actual year varies from 1904 to 1908, depending on which source you rely on.

Joan herself said it was that later date, so that's the one Turner Classic Movies is basing a 100th birthday celebration on, with 24 hours devoted to screenings of a dozen of the film legend's movies, including the TCM premiere of her rare silent comedy Spring Fever. Other favorites scheduled to air include Torch Song, Grand Hotel, The Women, Humoresque and her Oscar winning role as Mildred Pierce.

The whole shebang kicks off at 8:00 PM EST tomorrow night with the TCM original documentary, Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Movie Star. Narrated by Angelica Huston, the tribute features interviews with Charles Busch, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Margaret O'Brien, Cliff Robertson and even daughter/Mommie Dearest author Christina Crawford.

Out in Film: Harvey Fierstein

Idol worship: Harvey Fierstein, actor/writer.

- He has been nominated for a Tony Award four times in four different categories -- and won each time: as actor and playwright of Torch Song Trilogy, as librettist for La Cage aux Folles and as actor for his legendary performance as Edna Turnblad in the musical Hairspray; he is tied with Tommy Tune as the most categorically diverse Tony winner ever.

- Other stage works include the ill-fated Peter Allen musical Legs Diamond, Safe Sex, Spookhouse and Forget Him; he also played Tevye in the most recent revival of Fiddler on the Roof.

- In addition to reprising his starring role in the movie version of Torch Song, he has co-starred in Garbo Talks, Mrs. Doubtfire, Bullets Over Broadway, Independence Day and Mulan; he also narrated the Oscar winning documentary The Times of Harvey Milk and appeared in The Celluloid Closet.

- Television guest shots include The Simpsons; Murder, She Wrote; Ellen; The Larry Sanders Show; Sesame Street and Cheers, receiving an Emmy nomination for the latter.

- He will return to the Great White Way later this month with A Catered Affair, a new musical based on the Bette Davis movie The Catered Affair. In addition to starring, he also wrote the book; could two more Tonys be in his future?
