Interview: Robert Osborne Returns to Hollywood with the TCM Classic Film Festival
For the fourth year in a row, Osborne will be on hand to introduce classic films on the big screen and interview stars from Hollywood’s Golden Era
By DannyMiller Thu 2:27 PM
Robert Osborne has been the face of Turner Classic Movies for almost 20 years now. There are few people around who know more about movies and few people who are capable of getting the stars of yesteryear to open up about their lives and careers as he regularly does. Osborne is back in Hollywood for the 4th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival. The four-day event, which attracts cinephiles from all over the world, opens tonight with a star-studded premiere of a newly restored version of William Wyler’s “Funny Girl” starring Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif. More than 80 films will be screened between April 25th and 28th at several historic movie theaters in Hollywood and Osborne will be on hand to introduce many of them and to interview celebrity guests including Tippi Hedren, Ann Blyth, Eva Marie Saint, Mickey Rooney, Jane Withers, and many others. As the red carpet was being set up in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater for tonight’s opening, I sat down with Robert Osborne across the street at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, site of the very first Academy Awards presentation in 1929.
TCM host Robert Osborne’s two days in SF
There’s still time to get tickets – free tickets – to two classic movie events in San Francisco this week hosted by Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne.
At 7:30 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, April 16), Osborne will interview Robert Wagner on stage at the Castro Theatre (rumor is his wife, Jill St. John, will also be there) before a screening of the original “The Pink Panther,” in which Wagner co-stars with David Niven and Peter Sellers (who introduced, of course, his classic character Inspector Clouseau, a supporting character here). It’s part of TCM’s “Road to Hollywood” events in different cities to drum up interest for the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, April 25-28.
A Woman’s World: The Defining Era of Women on Film
TCM proudly introduces Friday Night Spotlight, a new month-long festival of films hosted by a special guest. The theme of the inaugural Friday Night Spotlight is A Woman’s World: The Defining Era of Women on Film, with celebrated singer/actress/superstar Cher joining Robert Osborne in hosting the screenings. This Spotlight will shine on the “woman’s film,” a staple from the late 1930s through the early ’50s that viewed life from the female perspective as it changed with the times, creating a genre that was rich, varied, sometimes subversive and always entertaining.

When it comes to old movies, don’t mess with Cher. The Oscar-winning uber-diva and passionate film buff is helping Turner Classic Movies launch its new weekly film series Friday Night Spotlight (8/7c), which kicks off this week. Each month will showcase a different theme and guest co-host. First up is A Woman’s World: The Defining Era of Women in Film, a collection of 17 classic movies — handpicked by Cher — that illustrates the evolving roles of women from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Among them: Stella Dallas, Mildred Pierce, Bachelor Mother, So Proudly We Hail, The Devil in Miss Jones and the 1946 Best Picture Oscar winner The Best Years of Our Lives. (For a full list go to tcm.com). Cher and TCM host Robert Osborne will talk shop and intro the films, which air in four categories — Motherhood (April 5), War Effort and the Homefront (April 12), Working Women (April 19) and Women Taking Charge (April 26). TV Guide Magazine rang Cher to talk about her obsession with the golden age of Hollywood and to find out — if she could turn back time — which long-gone leading man she’d most like to costar with. You’ll never guess.
