From pre-codes to comedies, Myrna Loy could do it all. Men loved her; women wanted to be her. But there was more to this beloved actress than Hollywood glitz and glam. We celebrate the Queen of Hollywood Mondays this month with all-day tributes on TCM.

#ResistanceRoots Henrietta Lacks died on this day in 1951 in Baltimore, Md. She only became well-known for what she contributed after her death. However, she deserves to be remembered as a beautiful young mother who was much more than her immortalized human cell line used in medical research. /1
Henrietta Lacks, ca. late 1940s. Lacks is the unwitting mother of modern medical research whose exploitation forced the world to reinvent medical ethics. As the source of the HeLa cell line, she unknowingly gave humanity its first “immortal” human cells, enabling medical advances that have touched millions of lives worldwide. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is the stark reality of paternalistic, Jim Crow-era medicine, where a poor Black woman’s body could be harvested without her knowledge or informed consent. For decades, Henrietta was reduced to an anonymous laboratory code. Today, her descendants, artists and global communities have fought to ensure she is remembered as a person. Her final resting place is marked with a granite headstone honoring her not just as a medical miracle, but as a mother who loved to cook, wear bright red lipstick, and take care of her family.

I've never been more ready to re-watch a movie. All the President's Men (1976) #TCMParty
All the President's Men is a landmark political thriller that exists as both a critically acclaimed 1974 non-fiction book authored by journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and a legendary 1976 film adaptation. The narrative chronicles the real-life investigation into the June 1972 Watergate Office Building break-in. Through investigative journalism and guidance from an anonymous high-level informant dubbed "Deep Throat," the duo exposed a web of corruption that eventually led to the historic resignation of President Richard Nixon.

REPEAT AFTER ME : A POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IS NOT A RELIGION. Now if you are too FUCKING dumb to differentiate between a religion & a political ideology, that’s on you. Like Socialism. Or Fascism. Or Conservatism. All ideology. Get it.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

🦇 30 days until Halloween... *Movie marquee and theatre display for Horror of Dracula (originally released as Dracula in the UK). Hammer Film Productions, 1958. 🎞
Horror of Dracula (1958)—originally released simply as Dracula in the United Kingdom—is a landmark British Gothic horror film directed by Terence Fisher. Produced by the legendary Hammer Film Productions, it is celebrated as the first vampire film ever shot in color (Technicolor/Eastmancolor). The movie catapulted Christopher Lee (as Count Dracula) and Peter Cushing (as Dr. Van Helsing) into global horror icons, redefining the vampire mythos with an unprecedented blend of vibrant color, visceral gore, and underlying sensuality.

Misogyny has been alive & well in America for over 400 years. Isn't it time we stopped it? No one should be hunting down Jane Doe. The men who hurt her, didn't value her, & ignored her pain, they are the problem. Hunt them for once. #witchtrials #janedoe #cornell #mysogyny #wearejanedoe #witchhunt
