Message: [QUOTE="CONN78SEJ, post: 3971216, member: 10604"] Yes it is. “The Shop Around The Corner” was one of a couple classics starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart and Frank Morgan. The other and maybe the better known of the two was “The Mortal Storm” which co starred Robert Young, Robert Stack, Dan Daily, Maria Ospenskaya, Ward Bond, and Bonita Granville. Granville gave a terrific performance in “The Mortal Storm”. For several years, I lived right down the road from the stunning farmhouse and surrounding 100 acres that Sullavan bought in Brookfield, Connecticut, Stewart reportedly used to come out for visits. Sullavan, famously hated the Hollywood scene, her daughter actress Brooke Hayward wrote the bestseller “Haywire”, about her upbringing as the daughter of two famous parents. IIRC Hayward still lives in the area. Sullavan’s later years relating to her and her children was a tragedy. [/QUOTE]
