TCM Schedule for Wednesday, June 26: Star of the Month: Jane Powell
Heads up! There's a birthday tribute to Eleanor Parker in daytime, followed by the final evening of Jane Powell films. To do both actresses justice, here's a little info you might find useful. I'm struck by how much TV classic film actors did back in the day.
