Sunset Boulevard perfect? - Ms SWANSON killed on the Carol BURNETT show, mark 16:39

Showstopper, perfect movies, performances - Sunset B., Cabaret, All About Eve - add on at will but talking electricity flash.

That said, here is Ms SWANSON singing and dancing. In several interview appearances she made clear that she felt her acting portrayal of a crazed person was conflated into her real life that was not. Fine. So below is another facet of her real life, being aghast at the filth of Lenny BRUCE to the point of walking out of his performance. Fine, just confused by all the facets, like her having mistressed to Joseph KENNEDY Sr to the point of travelling together with him and his wife. Am just rubbernecking and headsnapping here at all the facets. A magnificent existence manifests itself in terms of its own authenticity?

Looks like CAVETT didn't approve (buy?) her judging BRUCE.

At least since the Twenties.

She believed in it so much that she strongly suggested it to Joseph Kennedy to help his daughter, Rosemary, with her struggles.
