Dear Moviemainers , It is time for us to talk Turkey ! (and of course a Movie or two !) This month we are doing two documentaries about two very interesting women, The first is Iris, 2014. It is the story about Iris Apfel who started working in a dress shop in New York , and was told by her employer "Iris you are not pretty and you never will be, but you have got style." She became an Interior Decorator, and then co-owners of Old World Weavers. She then gets noticed for the way she dresses at the age of 94 years young she is still going strong. I watch the film twice I found it so interesting.
Next is a film called Casting By, 2014 This is a documentary about the casting director Marion Dougherty How she got a job in this business and how she became one of the top casting directors of all time (although when you watch the film the word director in this role is an issue). The number of people that became stars because, she chose them for parts in films, what can I say, she knew the right person for the right part, even though the directors of certain films didn't always agree. I hope you enjoy these films and can be shown on Thanksgiving with your company as everyone will find these women very interesting.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Your Movie Diva, Movielynne.
PS From Tom and Carl - We'll host the November movie club dinner at our house on Sunday 11/29 at 6:00, and show the documentary "Iris". Please RSVP to Carl if you can make it.

hi, you can always see Iris usually in the society portion of the sunday new york times she always wears outrageously large glasses of different sizes and colors and is always featured attending charitable dinners , i am sure some of the charities give her a free ticket so she will come and be photographed> tom jordan
Love the movie choices this month! Interestingly enough Devon and I just watched Iris. We loved it. She is an inspiring woman who lives her life to the fullest. A true original. Looking forward to seeing Casting. Love these documentaries.
