Hi Beth. Could I please pen a tribute to Lena Horne? Not sure yet what date I will post on. If possible will let you know nearer the time. This is going to be so interesting. Proud of you for finally taking the plunge and hosting a blogathon.

Maddy, thanks so much for your encouragement! The blogathon has been a lot of fun so far, and the posts haven’t even gone live yet. It’s encouraging that people are intrigued by the topic and are seeing how broad a range of films and performers it covers.
Most definitely you can cover Lena Horne! One other blogger has requested her, but I think you’ll both have different approaches to covering her. I don’t think a lot of people know she has Afro-Portuguese heritage, so getting twice the spotlight on this is fine with me!
What day will you post go live on?

Hi Beth. I think it will make for very interesting reading, and as you say, it will mean people can get a spotlight. As I said in my post on your page, I’m not sure yet what day I will be posting on. I’ll let you know nearer the time.

I’m so excited to read the fine details about this blogathon, Beth, I’m delighted that Lê will be co-hosting with you. 🤗
I confirm that I would like to write about Brazilian film ‘The House of Sand’ (2005), in which I will also talk more about mother-daughter acting duo Fernanda Montenegro and Fernanda Torres.
I’m ok with submitting my post on the 12th of November. 🙂

Erica, thanks so much for the encouragement! Lê is wonderful and inspirational. She’s a great co-host to work with.
Excellent on the film choice! I want to learn more about Brazilian film. Looking forward to reading your review on November 12!

Hey Beth, I will post about Helena D’Algy and if I can her brother Tony. There is NOT all that much I have been able to turn up. I may simply post on the 1924 film A Sainted Devil which she made with Valentino.

Donna, I’m so excited you want to participate! I’ve put you down for these subjects and film. Do you have a preferred date for your post to go live on?

Oh, how about Aniki Bóbó (1942)? As to the date, I’d prefer November 12!
msbethg
Ooo, great choice, Terry! I’ve put you down for that film and date!

Hi, Beth! I love this blogathon topic and after being torn between a few subjects, I think I’d like to write about Carmen Miranda in Down Argentine Way (1941) on November 15th! Thanks!
msbethg
Samantha, sounds good! No one has claimed DOWN ARGENTINE WAY yet. Glad to have you on the schedule and looking forward to what you write!
