Agnes Moorehead
Trivia
She was one of the cast members of the ill fated film The Conqueror (1956), which was filmed in 1954 in the Nevada desert close by to where the government was doing nuclear testing. In later years those tests were suspected to have caused the cancer deaths of several of the films stars including John Wayne, Dick Powell, Susan Hayward and Pedro Armendáriz.
Interred at Dayton Memorial Park in Dayton, Ohio.
Her limousine is on display at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
Attended Muskingum College in New Concord, OH, which was also attended by astronaut and later Senator John Glenn.
Entered New York's Academy of Dramatic Arts, studying alongside Rosalind Russell.
Did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin.
Taught in Central High School in Reedsburg, WI, and directed plays for the school's dramatic club.
Taught school and coached oratory in Soldiers Grove, WI. The team won numerous contests.
Daughter of Presbyterian minister Dr. John H. Moorehead of Reedsburg, WI.
Favorite color was purple - she was so fond of the color friends called her the "lavender lady."
She was an alumna of Central High School in St. Louis, MO.
Adopted son Sean with first husband Jack G. Lee.
Initially turned down the role of "Endora" in "Bewitched" (1964), but reconsidered when Elizabeth Montgomery asked her in person, when they met in a department store. Moorehead joined the cast not expecting the show to last more than one season, let alone become a long-running hit.
First woman to co-host the Academy Awards (with Dick Powell) in 1948.

TCM Star Of The Month
Humphrey DeForest Bogart
(December 25, 1899 – January 14, 1957) was an American actor.
After trying various jobs, Bogart began acting in 1921 and became a regular in Broadway productions in the 1920s and 1930s. When the stock market crash of 1929 reduced the demand for plays, Bogart turned to film. His first great success was as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest (1936), and this led to a period of typecasting as a gangster in B-movies. His breakthrough came in 1941, with High Sierra (1941) and The Maltese Falcon (1941). The next year, his performance as Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1942) raised him to the peak of his profession and at the same time, cemented his trademark film persona, that of the hard-boiled cynic who ultimately shows his noble side. Other successes followed, including To Have and Have Not (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948), with his wife Lauren Bacall; The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948); The African Queen (1951), for which he won his only Academy Award; Sabrina (1954), and The Caine Mutiny (1954). During a film career of almost thirty years, he appeared in 75 feature films.
At the time of his death from cancer in 1957, Bogart was one of the most respected figures in American cinema. Since his death, his persona and film performances have been considered as having a lasting impact and have led to him being described as a cultural icon. In 1997, Entertainment Weekly magazine named him the number one movie legend of all time. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the Greatest Male Star of All Time.
