La Cruise: The Next Nora Desmond?
Let's face it. Tom Cruise is quickly losing his mind. His off the wall behavor about his new "love" and the constant coverage of his dumb ass remarks and "private" life are quickly becoming a joke.

Can it be very soon that we will see La Cruise puttering around his rundown Beverly Hills estate in a head dress running his old films on a worn out VCR with his faithfull man servent Vinnie protecting him from the outside world?

2. From the film and musical "Sunset Blvd".
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 01:48 PM by ronnykmarshall


Gloria Swanson played this charater in the film. It was about a excentric silent film star.



Glenn Close played the roll on Broadway.

5. Movie about an old film star who couldn't accept her age
and her declining career. In her raving fantasy she is still the world's greatest star. My close up, Mr. De Mille!

15. Me too!
That's a classic. Her show was one of the best.

Her take on "Mildred Pierce" was a scream.
