TCM Star of the Month: Glenda Farrell

Spunky actress Glenda Farrell, a favorite of many classic film fans, is the November Star of the Month on Turner Classic Movies.

The series kicks off on Monday, November 5th. Four dozen films featuring Farrell will be shown spread over November Mondays, beginning in the daytime hours and continuing into the late evening.

Farrell was occasionally a leading lady, including in the Torchy Blane series in the late '30s, while most often she's a lively supporting actress; she's particularly enjoyable as part of a wisecracking team when paired with Joan Blondell.

Below is the complete Farrell lineup. Times may be found on TCM's schedule.

Given my love for Warner Bros. films of the '30s, a significant number of Farrell's films have been reviewed here over the years. Click any hyperlinked title for the corresponding review.
