Announcing The Lovely Lee Grant Blogathon August 20-23, 2018

She’s been one of our most treasured classic movie character actors for more than 60 years—so it’s about time someone did a blogathon for the beautiful and amazing Lee Grant. Join co-hosts Gill of Realweegiemidget Reviews and Chris of Angelman’s Place August 20-23, 2018 to celebrate the illustrious career of the versatile and prolific Academy Award-winning actress.

From comedy to tragedy, soap opera to adventure to grand guignol thriller, Lee Grant has run the gamut in her six decades in show business—her aptly titled memoir I Said Yes To Everything tells the story of a determined actress, mother, activist, director and survivor of the Communist blacklist of the 1950s, who triumphed over adversity by carving out one of the most unique careers in filmdom.

If you have a favorite Lee Grant performance, you’re invited! Up to three bloggers can choose the same Grant film. If you’ve written previously written about one of Ms. Grant’s films, that’s OK too—just send us the link. And grab one of Gill’s lovely banners below, too, if you have mind to, and post it on your blog. Hope you can join us!
