    Always adored Ms. Fitzgerald. She should have been a major star: beautiful speech; keenly intelligent actress; always quite humble; and a stunning beauty. Perhaps she is correct; she should have accepted more roles. Met her in the late 90s at a diner in Manhattan's east side; I had just seen Dark Victory the day before (for the 100th time). I recognized her voice before I recognized her. She was warm and gracious. A very fond memory. Thanks for posting.

    Here, in 1985, Arlene Francis would have been either 79 or 80. Forever stunning,, the "Delightful Star"!

      @@hizgrase Ahhh....yes. then 78 or 79, I guess. I must have hit the wrong button. Oddly enough, my father was born in Sept. of '07.. I should have caught that.

      Yes, she got an Emmy nomination for the one in which she wants to commit suicide. Check out some of her classic work from the 30's and 40's--"Dark Victory" with Bette Davis, "Wuthering Heights" with Olivier and Oberon, "The Gay Sisters" with Stanwyck, "Nobody Lives Forever with Garfield, "The Pawnbroker" with Rod Steiger, and later ones like the two "Arthur" films with Liza and "Easy Money" with Rodney Dangerfield.

    Arlene had already been diagnosed with Alzheimers at this time and her husband died one year later. Yet, she's as lovely as ever and did great!

    No but he did write `Private Lives` so I don`t think he`s be in complete accord with Markle`s slanging match with the Crown (forget the Rose)!

    It's nice to see her in these later years, I have always enjoyed her work. Still, age really sucks. To see what time has done to her face is sad. Her voice however remains relatively unchanged.

    • @aeichler
      @aeichler  Před 6 lety +2

      Geraldine never had any cosmetic work done and aged naturally, which helped her later career as a character actress.
