I love Hunter Harris ! Now I need to see if she wrote more about being a Selenator because I have such strong feelings about Selena (thank you for saying she's a mediocre singer and dancer. Not enough people are talking about this!!) lol

Have people watched the "That's Entertainment!" documentaries (the part 1, really) about MGM and the studio system? Among too many highlights to mention: footage of a young Judy Garland singing a fan song to her studio-mate Clark Gable, camera panning across all the MGM movie stars at a lunch banquet, 1980s Gene Kelly, Lena Horne's face...I don't know why but this Q&A reminded me of watching it obsessively, along with movies, growing up.

Have I ever recede "That's Entertainment" documentary (the part 1, really) about MGM and the studio system? Maybe you have seen it but I grew up watching it over and over again (along with watching ALL the movies) and it's just the best content. Among too many highlights to mention: footage of a young Judy Garland singing a fan song to her studio-mate Clark Gable, camera panning across all the MGM movie stars at a lunch banquet, 1980s Gene Kelly, Lena Horne's face.
