Summer Under the Stars

 Happy 1st of August!


If you're a veteran of the classic film world then you already know that August is an exciting month!
If you are new then allow me to fill you in--every year during the month of August, Turner Classic Movies brings you Summer Under the Stars.Instead of focusing on one single Star of the Month, they bring you 31 stars--one full day, every day, for the month of August that focuses on a different classic film star.


Now, last year, we at Think Classic picked our favorite star out of TCM's Summer Under the Stars lineup, and focused on them for Star of the Month (you can see that post on Claudette Colbert here: http://classicvintagelove.blogspot.com/2011/08/if-i-couldnt-laughid-rather-die.html).
This year, however, we're going to switch it up a bit.
We have picked out four stars we love from the Summer Under the Stars lineup--two female, and two male (which was SUPER hard, by the way!) and we are going to do a post on each the day before their day on TCM. We won't tell you ahead of time who they are, though. We don't want to ruin the surprise!


But we hope you're ready for a great Summer Under the Stars, with Turner Classic Movies and Think Classic!
