Robert Osborne Getting 48-Hour Tribute On TCM
......Turner Classic Movies is paying tribute to its longtime host this weekend with a 48-hour marathon of Robert Osborne’s most memorable TCM interviews and moments. Osborne, who died Monday at 84, had been the face of the cable net since its 1994 launch.
Starting at 6 AM ET on Saturday, programming will include installments of Private Screenings and Live from the TCM Classic Film Festival and Osborne’s first TCM introduction for the all-time classic Gone with the Wind. Episodes of Private Screenings during the tribute will feature Debbie Reynolds, Liza Minnelli, Betty Hutton and Ernest Borgnine and the one in which actor Alec Baldwin interviewed Osborne on the host’s 20th anniversary at the network.
Featured installments of TCM’s annual Live from the TCM Classic Film Festival will include Osborne’s intimate interviews with screen legends such as Peter O’Toole, Eva Marie Saint, Kim Novak, Alan Arkin and Luise Rainer, who was 101 at the time of the interview and without her hearing aids, a situation Osborne graciously worked around by writing each question out on a noteptad for her to read.
