Re: Hello Everyone

Hi AMfan, Welcome to the Oasis. You have certainly picked a most worthy star and lady to follow!! I don't post on here much any more as I travel now while I can. One of my ventures is to the TCM Film Festival in LA (this year in late April); and I would recommend your joining us there, if you can. H...

Re: RITA HAYWORTH - The Love Goddess

Hi Erik, Well I did manage to watch "The Happy Thieves" and was happy!! to see Rex and Rita; but became rather disinterested in it, although not bored... I can now say - "I've seen it" but if I don't again, I won't be disheartened. I thought it would have been better as a TV movi...

Re: RITA HAYWORTH - The Love Goddess

Dear Erik, I am shocked that you want to delete this thread, as it's popular and informative, and about a REAL STAR..... Several years ago, we had a member (Garbomaniac) who was a great fan of Hedy Lamarr and posted pictures of her and we all discussed her at length. Then, he disappeared and left us...

Re: RITA HAYWORTH - The Love Goddess

Hi Erik, Well, at last I will see "The Happy Thieves" as it's playing on Thursday, the 11th, at 4:45EDT - 2:45MDT... I have never seen it and always wanted to, even though it's not one of the best for both Rita & Rex... However, compared to what's playing now-a-days mostly, it's probab...

Re: Mary Astor, SOTM??

Hi, Tonight (June 4th) there was a wonderful tribute to Mary Astor. June Allyson and Margaret O'Brien gave gracious reviews of working with her and there were many clips of Astor's old movies. The both described her as beautiful and gracious and a thorough professional. I was thrilled that my old fr...

Hi,

The new baby princess has a name:

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.....

I don't care for the Diana bit - - would have preferred Eleanor or Anne - but it's not my kid!!!

Re: The Royals!

Thanks Erik, The Queen is still at Windsor Castle and doesn't seem in any hurry to come to London; even though the new baby is due here in a London hospital. This new child though isn't as important succession-wise as George, so maybe there's lebss flap in the Royal Family about this birth. The publ...

Re: The Royals!

Hi, I am presently in London for an annual royalty conference and apparently the child is expected this coming weekend!!! The press and media are all in a frenzy and are already crowded outside the hospital; but nobody else seems concerned. Yesterday, a 21 gun salute went off from the Tower Embankme...

Re: CANDIDS II

Hi Joe, I laughed to myself about the Hedda & Louella picture - as it, triggered an old memory for me - - Lana Turner telling me that she and Lex Barker had bought them identical pearl necklaces for Christmas one year - knowing that they'd probably never meet up with each other!!!! And, here the...
