According to The Suncoast News, a new line of Star Wars toys is creating a lot of excitement among movie fans:
Fans of the “Star Wars” movies are expected to line up outside the empire of Toys R Us stores around the world tonight to get the first shot at a line of toys based on the yet-to-be-released animated film, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”

Memorabilia News: Actress Marion Ross To Attend Dedication Ceremony
The Albert Lea Tribune reports that movie and television actress Marion Ross will attend a ceremony in her home town — Albert Lea, Minnesota — on June 7, for the dedication of the Albert Lea Civic Theatre as the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center. The Center will feature photographs and memorabilia from the career of Ross.
Ross was presented with the idea for the name change last fall, and in a letter to the city in October, said she was “touched and flattered” to have a theater named for her.
“I am thrilled, and I accept with all my heart,” she wrote.

Memorabilia News: Neiman Marcus Exhibit Features Screen Legends
The Dallas Morning News reports that Hollywood legends are featured in a special Neiman Marcus exhibit which is being presented as part of the AFI Dallas International Film Festival:
Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Taylor – they’re all at the downtown Neiman Marcus, and not just them but many, many more of Hollywood’s most legendary and luminous stars.
OK, perhaps that’s a bit of a misstatement. “They” aren’t actually there; some of these stars, strictly speaking, have been dead for years, if not decades. But they are all gathered together in the exhibit “Through the Lens Clearly: Icons & Images From the Harry Ransom Center,” which is being presented by Neiman Marcus as part of AFI Dallas International Film Festival.
The stars are present in the form of costumes, photographs, posters, props and other time-warp totems that are on display throughout Neiman’s historic downtown store, a setting that serves to intensify the stepping-back-in-time sense evoked by the collection.
