“Billy Jack also died”
Tom Laughlin.
Was 82
De Havilland Drive in Saratoga is named after Olivia.
Speaking of HS classmates, my mother went to high school with Johnny Mathis and Lee Meriwether (who is a good friend of my Aunt’s, apparently - my mother’s older sister).
“Damn...
Threes... always in threes...
O’Toole, Laughlin, and Fontaine.”
and Parker six days ago.
“I wouldn’t put Mandela in with O’Toole and Fontaine ...”
I agree totally! One mass murderer and two decent people - no similarities at all.
OH man first it was Peter now Joan
Wow, just watched “Rebecca” night before last...
I met her in Monterey, CA back in the 80s at a private party. She was having a great time and was very approachable then.
Had a good run, old girl.
A Damsel in Distress starring Joan Fontaine, Fred Astaire and George Burns is coming on TCM at 2 am on 12/19.
RIP, Miss Fontaine
RIP. Don’t know of Joan but I’ve heard of her sister Olivia de Havilland.
My aunt who’s husband died is apparently not coming to our family’s party, this makes my mom not want to go either.
Tired of saying RIP, any famous babies born today?
Oh, I’ve seen that one several times over the years. The cheapie film I mentioned was entitled “A Million to One” (1936), which won’t be found on TCM. Not part of their library. Technically, might not be a part of ‘any’ library, those poverty-row independent productions, which had long ago fallen into public domain.
That’s right... Eleanor Parker too.
Guess Turner Classic Movies will be busy with their end of year “In Memoriam” again...
Sad stuff.
“My aunt who’s husband died is apparently not coming to our family’s party, this makes my mom not want to go either.”
Yep...I know that felling.
“Tired of saying RIP, any famous babies born today?”
Bravo! Thank you for injecting some postitiveness into the dreariness.
“...any famous babies born today?”..”
We won’t know if they’re famous for another 20 or so years, if they’re born today...
Mandela, Peter O’Toole, now Joan Fontaine.
They always die in threes, don’t they?
Sorry I don’t include Mandela, still waiting for the third one.
In the case of Kim and Kanye, no Hobbit children were born.
“Arsenic and Old Lace” was on this morning.
I laughed my ass off watching that. Peter Lorre was great, so was Carey Grant, and Raymond Massey.
A great classic comedy.
“Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” was on a few days ago too... reminds me of when I bought MY house... It’s a funny one too.
Captain Obvious who 'splained to ya, but then he wasn't born today.
“There’s no “there” there at all...”
At all.
