I’m not sure what’s gotten me thinking about Zelda Fitzgerald (1900-1948) lately, but I realized we haven’t done a Woman Crush Wednesday feature dedicated to her. Perhaps it’s partially because it always galls me when the wives of famous men are sidelined, perhaps it’s also because Zelda refused to allow that to happen to her, and perhaps it’s because she is very much her own distinct character apart from her famous literary husband. Whatever the reason, I think it’s high time we took a look at the (criminally few) films and TV shows featuring Zelda Fitzgerald, in parts big and small.
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘the Last of the Belles’ (1974)
F. Scott Fitzgerald in Hollywood (1975)
Private Affairs, “The Dream of Living” (1975)
Zelda (1993)
Last Call (2002)
Midnight in Paris (2011)
Caserta Palace Dream (2014)
Z: The Beginning of Everything (2015-17)
Genius (2016)
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, “Tender Is the Nate” (2018)
Did I miss any Zeldas? Share them in the comments!
“Legends of Tomorrow” was far from forgettable to me. Perhaps the episode featuring Fitzgerald was, but definitely not the series.
Z only had one season unfortunately. :/ I was surprised how much I liked it after putting it off for so long and I wish there was more.
Me too!
Everyone should read Nancy Milford’s Zelda. Zelda’s daughter gave the author access to private documents.
Unfortunate, the second season of Z was never aired. It was fun watching it being filmed near my home.
Yes!
The 1993 Zelda sounds interesting; I look forward to further revelations.
I’ve only seen Alison Pill play her, but I look forward to your future review on the other movie.
