Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Larry Pennell died back in August 2013.

Gene Tierney was the hottest, no contest really. However, what I noticed about all these classic beauties is that the majority of them had personal problems and/or tragedies. Gene Tierney : Battled with mental issues and depression Natalie Wood : The controversy regarding Kirk Douglas + her unfortun...

Compiling a list here could facilitate any attempt of trying to write to them. First off is Marilyn Knowlden . It's a ...

Did the budget not allow longer technicolor shots? Lol *I wonder how a 12-year old Margaret O'Brien must've fe...

It's been a bad year for classic opera singers this year. First, it was Rise Stevens, then it was Deanna Durbin. And now, Hungarian Martha Eggerth has died too at the age of 101 (1912-2013). Some of you might recognize her in Gene Kelly & Judy Garland's 1942 movie For Me and My Gal . Others migh...
