  • Remembering Greer Garson - Secrets About An Old Hollywood Star.
    Greer Garson, born on September 29, 1904, was a British-American actress renowned for her captivating performances on the silver screen during the mid-20th century. She is best remembered for her elegance, poise, and compelling portrayals of strong, resilient women in various acclaimed films.
    Born Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson in London, England, Garson initially pursued a career in academia, studying at the University of London and later at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. However, her undeniable talent and striking beauty soon led her to the world of acting.

    No mention of “Random Harvest” ; not only her best film but one of the best ever made.

      We can’t expect anything less from the video that referenced her work with Laurence OLIVER. 💔

    Random Harvest was my favorite Greer Garson film. I don't understand how you could overlook that 1942 film. Her performance was great as was Ronald Colman's.

    Buddy and Greer absolutely adored that ranch in NM. They were so sad when they had to return much to the city to be nearest medical care for Buddy. They had many close friends in Santa Fe.

    Mrs. Miniver, Mrs. Parkington, and best of all her movies “Pride and Prejudice” were so good and her portrayal as Madame Curie was so incredible that I have watched it many times now and I still love it so much. ❤

    Maybe the narration is computer generated, which might account for the mispronunciations.

  • @gilbertobrien7261

    Why oh why do the people they find to give the commentary on these things never ever learn even basic pronounciation of famous names?

    • @tessieoshea6904
      @tessieoshea6904 Před 11 měsíci +2

      Because they are mechanical, not human voices.

    His name is spelled OLIVIER. Not OLIVER as you pronounce it. Not only her first Academy Award but her ONLY Academy Award. She Was a honey of a looker and a honey of an actress. James Agee wrote he would have loved to have seen her play Lady Macbeth, another kind of royalty aside from all of her noble women.

    I'm surprised Goodbye Mr. Chips wasn't mentioned. Clark Gable lost to Robert Donat for that film.

    The narrator is obviously not familiar with what he is reading or he wouldn't mispronounce several of these names.
