Author Dan Van Neste talks about his book The Magnificent Heel.The Life And Films Of Ricardo Cortez. Ricardo IRL seemed a bit of a heel and cad..Say it aint so..

I could not find this really big shew anywhere. Finally I got t off my old computer. YAY!. I give Dan lots of credit for this book. Ricardo was incredibly private, very unliked by most who acted with him and a very bad husband. I enjoyed the book and was surprised that he was a heel. Lets be fair...not always..but.. Like I said Dan did an amazing job putting this book together without not a lot of help from Hollywood Archives. Its a fascinating story of a mystery guy, who had dirty shirts in his closet..Not IRL..He was quite the fashion plate. January The Fabulous Kay Fwancis was star of the month on TCM. I DVR'd everyone of her films. She worked with Ricardo about four times. I guess she could stand him. Mandalay was my favorite film they made together. Ricardo was a total slime ball in this film. Its a must watch 

 

Thanks so much to the fabulous Dan. I had fun yakking wit him.
