I knew the face, but would never have recognized the name.
Edited: my favorite Alfred line was spoken by Michael Caine in a later film. Someone asked if he'd known (the chick; don't remember her name) all her life. He replied, prophetically, "Not yet."

For being such a big star, I could only think of four movies she'd been in off the top of my head, only one of which I've ever actually seen ("Giant"). I think she was more famous for being famous than for anything else.

Of course her fame stems from the generation previous to ours. She disliked fame and tried to stay out of the limelight, especially in her later years.
I remember her from Taming of the shrew, Virginia Woolf, Butterfield 8, Cat on a hot tin roof, and of course Cleopatera

Virginia Woolf was very funny, in a twisted way. I agree she was also good in Butterfield 8 and (as I generally like Tennessee Williams' work), Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. I also recall her in a memorable episode on the old Lucille Ball sitcom (without Desi) where Lucy got one of Liz's most expensive rings stuck on her finger.

Cleopatra was a good flick. We just watched Cleopatra this past week end on demand. I'm fininshing the book 'The Memoirs of Cleopatra' and had not seen the Liz movie in decades. Art had never seen it. So sad about Liz. She's been in pain a long time. Hope she sees her friend Michael on the other side.

Actor Farley Granger, dead at 85. Famous for two Hitchcock films: the Brilliant "Strangers on a Train" and the not-so-brilliant but quirkily interesting "Rope." I'm sure he's done other stuff, but that's all I know him for. And it is enough to make him a classic in my book..... www.variety.com/article/VR1118034555?refCatId=25&query=Farley+Granger

Sidney Lumet is what I call a "journeyman" director: he didn't really have a style or a genre of his own, and certainly wasn't a "name brand" like Tarantino or Hitchcock or Capra, but could work in any type of film. When a producer needed a competent hand at the helm, he was one of the short-list of talents that could always get the job done. RIP, Sidney.

As a NY'er, what I loved about Lumet was the fact that he was such a New York director -- so many of his movies were shot in NYC. Over the years, it has become something of a cliché to say that when movies are shot in NYC, the city actually becomes a character in the movie -- but in so many of Lumet's films, it was actually true. IMO, "Before The Devil Knows Your Dead" was one of his last films and also one of his most EXTREMELY underrated.
