Edna is another name that should stay in the past. (And I had an aunt named that as well!) As should Eunice and Bertha and Ethel and Alma and Velma (although we once had a neighbor, now passed on, named Velma and she was a wonderful neighbor) AGREED!! Alma and Velma aren't quite as bad as the other...

there's a fun one

Marlene makes it worth watching, but Mel Ferrer is the film's weak link.

Even if you had remembered you would not have been able to see it. There was a glitch in the video on TCM that evening so it was replaced with another showing of Carnival Story . TCM has put Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid on WatchTCM as a make-good, but as I recall you do not have the service. :( HAHA! ...

SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!!!!!! JOE KENDA IS BACK!!!!!!! MYMYMYMYMY! I saw a commercial for it the other day. Hasn't he run out of cases by now???. I guess there's hope for Paula yet! :( (Unsure if he's rehashing old cases or its like his last one, commenting on others). I'M BACK!!! And they say smoking c...

Rosalie is remembered on QVC as the infamous foul-mouthed caller who could be heard over the phone yelling "Get the f*ck away, I'm talking to Leah Williams!!" Unflappable host Leah just laughed and told us "Some people are so passionate about what we're selling" LMREO!!!!!!!!!

I looked up Rosalie and it seems to have had a resurgence lately due to a character in the Twilight series (and no, I'm not making this up!) So, that's nice. There was a Cole Porter 20s musical with that title that was later made into a film with Eleanor Powell in the 30s.

also, I hate to speculate, but FANTASTIC AS SHE IS, I get the sense the role came very naturally to LANSBURY and she had A BLAST doing it- the 1970s were kind of the beginning of the whole "you need to suffer and be miserable and lose or gain 60 pounds in order to get a nomination" trend ...

What I think of as "old lady names"--names that no woman under 60 had when I was growing up--are back in fashion. Hannah, Emma, Sophie, Eliza, Amelia--a friend has high school students with these names. I know people who have named their little girls Mabel and Millie. Rosalie is much wort...

it should be though! it's a lovely name.

Yes, I like it too. A fancier version of Rose or Rosy.

Also, the name ROSALIE is surprisingly lovely and tasteful, I wonder if MR OTTERBOURNE talked SALOME out of naming her God only knows what... Eros? Phylandrea? Trellis? Vanity? Clytemenstra? Amaryllis? Apple? would love to have seen her list. LOL! Apparently sanity prevailed. I have a cousin named ...

also, I have to GRIPE that searching for IMAGES or DELETED SCENES for DEATH ON THE NILE 1978 on most SEARCH ENGINES clogs my results with images from the unfortunate (RECENT) remake which I would rather not discuss because, believe it or not, but I'm trying to be less of a b!tch, at least for the m...

apologies for the watermarks (especially on the last one!!!!!) but I just HAD to share these images of ANGELA LANSBURY filming DEATH ON THE NILE: https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.0SC9AhE-WgRrq9qUkd5pTgHaH8?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.NQA5-D0F9DqBabwX9ioSxwHaMa?rs=1&pid=Im...

FMQ was fairly entertaining. It's not original or top drawer, but it gets the job done in one hour, though it is a bit of a bare bones flick. I don't mind if the cop isn't obsessed. Sometimes I like to see a regular cop, just like Otis Campbell liked to see a bat once in a while. I do think that Lu...
