@TCM won& #39;t tell you (oversight), but today would& #39;ve been Oscar-winning screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond& #39;s 100th birthday. Best writer I ever knew, best Dad, too. @biscuitkitten @thefilmcrowd @patrickkincaid @Markgatiss @DrMatthewSweet @jonathancoe @ElainaCScott . More all day. Ask ?s.

As it approaches 1AM in California, I& #39;m gonna take a break from the Centennial Iz-Fest. I leave you with a rare early photo, Billy and a rather dapper Iz in 1956 at Studio de Boulogne, Paris during Love In The Afternoon. Billy was 50. Iz was 36.

More in the morning.

All righty. Here& #39;s Marilyn with the boys and her axe (She& #39;s TINY). My Mom insists I saw her on the Coronado Beach location and loudly said "Who& #39;s the fat lady and why is everyone paying attention to her?"

Maybe I said that. Just shows -- don& #39;t take 7 year olds on your set.

And one more from SLIH. You forget that absolutely everybody smoked, smoked all the time. I& #39;m lucky to have any lungs at all.

Still answering questions, still trying to grab @tcm attention. #IALDiamond100
