Entertainment: Celebrities: In Memory of: Doris Day (1922 - 2019)

Must say good-bye to "America's girl next door" and Hollywood legend, Doris Day.  She had a major influence on my childhood development.  She charmed me.  That was her appeal.  I think she charmed everyone; publicly and privately.  I loved all of her movies.  No really.  There is not one movie she starred in that I did not like.  


For me, the most memorable movie was the one where she sang "Que sera, sera" and she had to land that airplane: The Man Who Knew Too Much.  It was a departure from her usually light-hearted comedy roles.  That movie was very serious and she played her part quite convincingly.  I have wonderful memories of this fine actress.  

She wasn't included in My Top 10 List of Iconic Female Celebrities' even though she suits the definition for "iconic". It's because she deserves a spotlight all her own.

Entertainment: IN MEMORY OF: Humphrey Bogart (1899 - 1957)

Humphrey Bogart
Born: December 25, 1899
Died: January 14, 1957

Won't be much longer now and all the glamorous Hollywood movie stars that I grew up watching will be forgotten. Stars like Humphrey Bogart, who was actually already dead by 1957, a couple of years after my birth. But no matter, he was so very alive for me every Sunday afternoon when one of his movies was on the air.  He was such a bad guy in most of his flicks.  Hated Him!  But loved him!!  His most memorable role was Duke Mantee, the gangster in "The Petrified Forest".

Bet you thought of Casablanca right?

My Favorite Movies Starring Elizabeth Taylor (1932 – 2011)

Remembering one of the Hollywood stars from back in my day who is no longer with us. Elizabeth Taylor (1932 - 2011).


There are three motion pictures starring this iconic legendary beauty that made an impression on me as a little girl and as a teenager:

National Velvet (1944) ; Giant (1956) ; Cleopatra (1963) 

Do you have a favorite Liz Taylor film?
