		<description><![CDATA[Miriam Hopkins: Q&#38;A with Allan Ellenberger Part II
Becky Sharp was the first feature film in three-strip Technicolor. Why was Miriam Hopkins selected for the title role? And what was filming like?
 Hopkins was producer Jock Whitney’s choice for the role from the beginning; I’m not aware of anyone else being mentioned. However, she almost lost it when she couldn’t come to an agreement with RKO over her salary. The studio then considered replacing her with Myrna Loy (who had starred in a modern-day version in 1932) or Claudette Colbert, who turned down the role after reading the script. Finally, Hopkins and RKO came to terms and she was reinstated.

Miriam Hopkins in a publicity shot for Becky Sharp

Miriam Hopkins.

 If mentioned at all today, Miriam Hopkins&#8216; name pops up in the media for two reasons: 

One of her movies is being shown on cable or at some retrospective or other, and someone says or writes that Old Hollywood&#8217;s Miriam Hopkins was a selfish, self-centered, megalomaniacal, scene-stealing, temperamental, fire-spitting Bitch from Hell who made life difficult for co-stars, directors, producers, writers, cameramen, hairdressers, manicurists, costume designers, studio carpenters, and special effects personnel, among others.
Miriam Hopkins was Bette Davis&#8216; Foremost Nemesis. Davis hated her so much, but so much, that Joan Crawford, Jack Warner, Errol Flynn, and whoever else Davis feuded &#38; fought with during her sixty-year career were transmogrified into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
&#34;Mamoulian,&#34; a complete retrospective of Hollywood director Rouben Mamoulian (1897-1987), one of cinema&#8217;s greatest stylists and innovators, will run at the Film Forum from Friday, September 7 through Tuesday, September 18.
As per the Film Forum&#8217;s press release, Mamoulian was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, to an Armenian family. He worked at the Moscow Art Theater while attending university, and, following a chance meeting with industrialist/philanthropist George Eastman (founder of the Kodak film company) he moved to Rochester, New York, to direct plays. 
Shortly thereafter he was on Broadway, directing Dorothy and Dubose Heyward&#8217;s Porgy, which became the basis for George Gershwin&#8217;s Porgy and Bess, a musical that Mamoulian would also direct. [See Porgy and Bess screening in New York.]

		<description><![CDATA[
Though relatively forgotten and, when remembered, usually dismissed as a second-rate talent (quite possibly by those who have never seen her on film), Miriam Hopkins was actually a highly capable performer who worked with some of the most renowned directors in Hollywood history &#8212; Rouben Mamoulian, Ernst Lubitsch, and William Wyler, among them.
Hopkins was also a household name in the 1930s, a time when she co-reigned, at least for a brief while early in the decade, as one of the Queens of Paramount.
Apart from the fact that time tends to dim memories, that most early Paramount films are shamefully unavailable (thanks to thoughtless executives at Universal, the studio that now owns most of the Paramount classics), and that most U.S. [...]]]></description>
