VIDEO FLASHBACK : HIDDEN HOLLYWOOD 1997

In 1997 Joan hosted a special for AMC called "Hidden Hollywood - Treasures From The 20th Century Fox Vault". This video release issued by Real Entertainment is a 60 minute version, a much longer one surfaced later on DVD, as well as a sequel narrated by Joan. Will feature those in a future post. This wonderful programme features outtakes and never before seen footage from classic films.  Stars included are Shirley Temple, Jimmy Durante, Betty Grable, Carmen Miranda, Alice Faye, Ethel Merman and many others. Here is the cover for the video release..

  1. What a coincidence, I just bought and watched this VHS yesterday.I converted it to DVD along with the Dean Martin's Celebrity Roast episode from 1984. I did not know that there is a longer version of Hidden Hollywood available on DVD, I have to look for it. At the end of this narrated special, there is a deleted scene from a movie with Joan which never got made! This special for ACM must have been recorded around the time of Pacific Palisades which also ran on FOX.
    Keep up the good work!
