I remember all theses stars from when I saw their movies in theaters, not just on tv. I know there won't ever be anything like them again.

Fate works in mysterious ways, that's for sure. The funny thing about my father is, he was a lifelong smoker! And still made it to 89. The doctor said if he hadn't smoked, he could have gone on to 100 - his blood pressure was that good. Go figure. <br /><br />Still, 89 isn't bad. Long life is good as long as you have reasonably good health, I'm thinking.<br /><br />Jane made two films with Mitchum, I think. Both good. They liked each other and it shows.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-66434821784141285432011-03-02T02:07:13.355-05:002011-03-02T02:07:13.355-05:00My aunt and uncle lived to 89.

My maternal grandmother--who worked for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, and luckily, was sick and didn't go to work on the day of the fire, though she lost young friends--lived to be 98. My mother is 93 1/2. Her family had longevity.<br /><br />Anyway, I found a noir film with Jane Russell and Robert Mitchum, not Macao, at the library and will see that one.<br /><br />Thanks on these classic movies ideas.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-50778921739964513642011-03-01T18:15:19.919-05:002011-03-01T18:15:19.919-05:00Just wanted to add this bit: Both my father and my...Just wanted to add this bit: Both my father and my mother died at the age of 89 or close enough as makes no difference. (Not together, my father died first. Then my mom a few years later.) 89 is ripe old age to live to. A good long life. I hope Jane had a good one too.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-34150837871569030102011-03-01T18:02:02.930-05:002011-03-01T18:02:02.930-05:00Yeah, I could never stomach THE OUTLAW.

I read it once but can't remember where. Jane had some really interesting stuff to say about the film and Howard Hughes. She just never cared all that much for the hoopla. She was not a 'hoopla' kind of gal.<br /><br />I liked Jane Russell a lot. Used to see her movies in the theater when I was a girl. She always looked like she was having a great time.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-8811392765752666522011-03-01T17:57:08.900-05:002011-03-01T17:57:08.900-05:00Great photos!

But I'm headed to the library today - about ten books I requested came in. I'll list themn later.

Never believed or went along with all the hype. I liked her. The only noir title I remember is MACAO with, I think, Robert Mitchum or Jeff Chandler.

I must look for some of her movies, including "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," and any old noir films, which I think I missed.<br /><br />Just a question: Will there be an Oscars' review here, especially of the fashion--the most important aspect surely.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-49767449527083251812011-02-28T21:11:23.924-05:002011-02-28T21:11:23.924-05:00I hadn't heard this!
