    I get that you want a title for your vids that is consistent and descriptive, but why do they all say “sad ending”? There is hardly anything sad about her ending. She had a very long and successful career, was married to a millionaire and lived a quiet and wonderful life until the age of 91. Hardly sad, other than we lost her. Quite frankly, I quit watching most of your vids because of these titles. While some of these people did have tragic lives and endings, many of them were very happy and lived very well.

    What a beautiful woman and a great actress! She did a fine job in all her film roles, but would have to say she was truly exceptional in 'Goodbye Mr. Chips', 'Mrs. Miniver' and 'Random Harvest'. Great movies! I don't find anything tragic about living 91 years.

    • @Spiderman7Bob7
      @Spiderman7Bob7 Před 3 lety

      I don't think their going to change the title of this odd series. They think that the 'sad ending' title will make viewers want to see what's so sad about the stars life. I persoanlly think it hurts the reputation of our beloved stars who have passed on.

    Dying peacefully at the age of about 86 (if my memory serves me right) as a beloved actress and philanthropist mourned by countless people after a life of success and as a very rich person is a sad ending?!?

    Ronald Colman was NOT a director. He was an actor. L.B. Mayer's last name is pronounced MAY-or, not MY-or. And it's Miniver, not Minnyver. Good lord! This narrator is so poor, I thought it was a bot. Some interesting info about Greer, but the delivery is plain awful!

  • @andrewgibbon-williams7974

    I'm watching a lot of these erudite pieces about long-dead Hollywood stars. Fascinating. But most of the lives they led as dupes of the Hollywood movie factory system were ultimately tragic. No doubt they had good times - off and on. One views them and their beauty as well as their acting skills, but then one feels sorry for them. They made their pact with the devil, and ended up paying the price.
