ICYMI from KPBS Midday Edition: TCM host Alicia Malone and TCM programmer Scott McGee will be signing new books at the TCM Classic Film Festival.
"My first book was about film history and women throughout Hollywood history. My second book was about film analysis and favorite films directed by women. So I saw this as kind of a very loose trilogy where now I would try to mix personal memoir with film history and film analysis," Malone said."It's not an entire memoir about my life, but it's snapshots of my life and the films that I was inspired by and the women I was inspired by at that time.
The inspiration for the book came while locked in her apartment during quarantine. Malone started thinking about what films she was watching and why. "I always believed that I watched movies for answers" Malone said."I always thought that I turned to movies to figure out life's big questions. And I'm sure it taught me a lot of things, a lot of things about world history and politics and some lessons I've had to undo since finding out the real truth. But what I discovered along the way was I actually don't watch movies for answers. I watch movies for questions, for more questions.
Malone, who will be signing her book on Sunday, is looking forward to introducing"Singin' in the Rain" and speaking with Paula Abdul about how the film inspired her to become a dancer. Malone also recommends checking out Joan Crawford in"The Republic Pictures serial"Spy Smasher" will be presented in a special condensed, feature-length format by Oscar-winning sound designer Ben Burtt at the 2022 TCM Classic Film Festival.
