They both sound like excellent films, Barbara Stanwyck certainly seems to have all bases covered!

Awe Walter I LOVE 💜The Golden Girls

Any pics of Barbara with the divine other golden girl Betty White who is still with us?

I take it that year Barbara was there for The Colby's?

I hadn't realised that profile picture feature had been added. I'm a bit shy so may put up a picture of one of my favourite golden era Hollywood hunks instead! 😁 😉

Any word on when the ability to like a post and post full display visual links will be starting?
Nothing with Betty White unfortunately, but as Bea was my favourite Golden Girl I was thrilled to see that picture of them together.

Barbara was there to be presented with the Cecil B de Mille Life Achievement Award by 70 year old Kirk Douglas.

As I am writing this it has just been announced on the news that Debbie Reynolds has been rushed to hospital, can't say that I am surprised, it doesn't look good.

No more news about recent updates in this Forum, and how can you be shy of showing your face at your age? It is always nice to put a face to a name.

I just found this 1982 commercial on youtube, this was filmed the year after I met her.

Just a day after her daughter died.


Poor poor woman

Just posted about Debbie Reynolds hadn't realised you'd posted.

I'm a shy soul at times and I do worry about trolls -some who've not liked me on here say the soap forum have trolled me on social media. Very disturbing.

I was shy when I was young, I couldn't give a toss now, my life history is on facebook, with pictures from the age of two up to last week.

Do we just upload the pic from our mobile phone picture album onto the digital spy profile?

Now on the breaking news ticker on SKY NEWS about Debbie Reynolds being rushed to hospital.

I'm really hoping she's able to pull through but she was exceptionally close to her daughter and the way she died on her way back to see her daughter and mum for Christmas will naturally torment her mind and be hard to deal with.

I am the last person to ask about mobile phones, I don't use them. I just went to my profile and looked for "edit profile picture", then downloaded my picture from my online photo files.

Ok Thanks! Keep checking my profile for a hunky Hollywood picture

I'm surprised you don't have a mobile though but good on you as people do over rely on them.


We may just make it to 150,000 views on this thread by the end of the year!

I have a mobile but don't use it except when I am running the London Marathon so that I can let my friends know where I am, but I usually have to get another runner to phone the number as I am as blind as a bat.

I really hate the way everyone walks along gazing at their phones, I find it really depressing. I like my land line, and thought that I was quite modern when I got a cordless phone.

I was only looking at our number of viewers this evening, and wondering if we will make 150.000 by the weekend. Whether we do or not, who would have believed that we would be going for 2.1/2 years.

Same as my mum she barely uses her mobile sees people glued to them constantly and tut tuts!

Let's hope we are successful in doubling the threads longevity to 5 years!

Although the seeming rate at which some old time celebrities are dying out there may not be anything contemporary to talk about!

Let's hope the forces of nature spare Joan Collins, Shirley Maclaine, Angie Dickinson, Carroll Baker, Angela Lansbury, Doris Day, Tab Hunter, and numerous others for a good few years yet!

Debbie Reynolds dies, aged 84, one day after daughter Carrie Fisher

https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...y_to_clipboard


Desperately sad.

Rest in Peace Debbie.

She was a class act imo and very well liked amongst her peers in Hollywood

So sad and must be crushingly heart wrenching for a family to lose two members in the space of little more than 24 hour's.

Events playing out like this is so surreal I don't think even a Hollywood scriptwriter could have credibly wrote it.

Adorable poignant photo from 1963 of Carrie Fisher as a young girl entranced watching her mother Debbie Reynolds perform on stage -observing from the theatres backstage / sidewings.

Unbelievable, in all my life I have never known a year like this. I have loved Debbie since we were both teenagers, and she starred in my two favourite musicals, Singin' in the Rain, and Hit the Deck.

Now poor Todd Fisher has to arrange two funerals.

R.I.P. Debbie, like Walter one of my favourite musicals is Singing In The The Rain which was made when she was only about 20. So tragic for the family.

Anyway here is Debbie in happier days

I just saw that on Twitter and posted it on the RIP thread - which, surprisingly for a movies board, had no posts on it at all!

It's a lovely photo isn't it.

It is! I'm sorry your thread has received such little attention -I will post on it now and see if that helps

This thread is very broad in terms of old Hollywood so many gravitate here I guess but I absolutely accept the need for Debbie Reynolds passing deserving it's own thread. 👍

I just hope that Carrie's only daughter and I think Debbies only granddaughter is robust enough to get through this without treading the well known Hollywood path of drugs and addiction like her mother did in her 20s

Wow thanks for posting -that routine was magical but looked like real hard work! How professional and brilliantly timed and choreographed they had to be to make that movie magic.

That was a good reminder of how great musicals where especially when there's lot of dancing too.

O wish they'd make musical movies like that again.

I've never posted on this thread but read it as it's so fascinating

I don't mind if people don't post on the RIP thread, it just surprised me on a movies forum that's all

That's a lovely photo. Also, I think for a lot of people the Showbiz forum seems to be the first port of call for R.I.P threads.
