Hollywood mourns, and Turner Classic Movies shuffles its schedule. Tributes to both movie/TV director Arthur Penn, who died Tuesday at 88, and golden-age star Tony Curtis, who died Wednesday at 85, have been inserted into TCM's October lineup.
Penn's Saturday tribute (Oct. 2) includes two of his '60s landmarks with Warren Beatty -- 1965's new wave-ish Mickey One (6:15 p.m. ET) and 1967's influential classic Bonnie and Clyde (8 p.m. ET), the latter coincidentally already scheduled to air as part of TCM's Saturday night showcase "The Essentials."
Curtis is remembered with a 12-film, 24-hour marathon on Sunday, Oct. 10.
(In the meantime, TCM plans to post the audio from host Robert Osborne's 1999 Private Screenings interview with Curtis as a downloadable podcast.)
TCM's Sunday tribute marathon ranges with Curtis from historical epic to frothy romantic comedy to gritty contemporary drama (all times ET on Oct. 10) -
