Yahoo! The Dual Roles Blogathon starts this Friday, and we can hardly wait!

Christina Wehner and yours truly are co-hosting this event from September 30 – October 2. If you haven’t signed up yet, it’s not too late to join in the fun!

Click HERE for blogathon details.

Rules
  • Duplicate posts on the same film are most welcome. (It seems fitting for a blogathon dedicated to duplication, no?)
  • Any film from any time – from the silent era to the present – are welcome.
  • Duplicate roles can include anything from one actor playing multiple roles to one character playing multiple roles. For example, Ginger Rogers in The Major and the Minor plays (1) herself, (2) a child, and (3) her own mother.

Join us any day you like, and we will include your post in that evening’s recap.

Click HERE for the list of the participants.

See you this weekend!

    I would have done Bette Davis in Dead Ringer but I see that it’s been scooped up twice!!! It promises to be a great blogathon I can’t wait to read some of the posts! Cheers Joey

    Seeing as you’re accepting duplicate entries I’m going to try and rustle up a post.
    I’ll see you on Friday when the fun begins!

    Yes. I so wanted to write about Kenneth and Emma in Dead Again (I mentioned it months ago but never signed up). That’s my life in a little nutshell. And it’s been taken, anyway. I know you are allowing duplicates but… We’ll see. 🙂 Either way, looking forward to this! Some great movies in that list.

    Can’t wait for this blogathon. I’m expecting my post to be a little late, as I’ve been suffering with writer’s block a hell of a lot, and I’m finding myself struggling with posts because of it.

      Being late is A-OK. I understand the frustration with writer’s block, believe me! 🙂

    Wish I didn’t have so many things to do or I would have participated. Sounds like it’s going to be fun. Maybe next time!

      Looking forward to reading your thoughts on Deborah Kerr. I love her in Colonel Blimp.
      P.S. This blogathon was entirely Christina’s idea. 🙂
