> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > Honestly, I think it’s the forum. I think feuds do better in more populated parts of the board. QFT. The only reason I found this feud is because I ACCIDENTALLY clicked this forum instead of the regular game one. Glad I found it, though. I will check back here in the future for other feuds. ---

I’m not a Thread Games mod, but I am a MPSIMS mod, so maybe if you decide to do more feuds (please!!!) you could link a thread in MPSIMS alerting everyone that it’s up? I’d have no objections. ---

First decade of the 20th century 1. Were we supposed to name the movie, the mom, or the actress? I’m seeing lots of variations now that I read other responses. Ellen Wagstaff Arden is the mother of twins, whom she doesn’t see for many years while she’s stranded on a desert island (it’s a screwball comedy) in _My Favorite Wife_. Irene Dunne plays her, and Dunne was a mother in real life as well (and played mothers a few other times, notably in _Life with Father_ and _I Remember Mama_). Cary Grant co-stars.
