June 4 — Rosalind Russell’s birthday

Happy birthday to Roz yesterday 🙂 

She was born June 4, 1907, so she would have been 104 yesterday. I watched 2 of her films in honor of her birthday yesterday–His Girl Friday and Gypsy. These are two of my favorites that I hadn’t watched in a while. One is a brilliant comedy and one is a musical drama (in which I believe Roz played her role perfectly). 

Hats off to Rosalind!




Roz Signing Autographs…

It’s not too often you see a picture of Roz at home, least of all signing autographs… I think I’ve hardly found a photo of her signing an autograph, except maybe for the soldiers. Sure, she did it. I just haven’t seen many photos of her doing so, haha. 


I love this photo someone found for me. Note the framed photograph of Roz and her husband leaving for their honeymoon:


Followers…

I like seeing the “20 followers” next to my blog when I log onto blogger.com. However, I know that one of the followers is me, “Desiree,” haha. So I technically only have 19 and have to wait till it reaches 21, but how nice to see that number! 🙂

Rosalind Russell Marathon on TCM

They are showing a marathon of Roz’s movies tomorrow (05/25) from 6:15  am EST (3:15 am PST) to 8 pm EST (5 pm PST). I’m in! Are you? 🙂 I consider this marathon a treat after working so hard at school, haha! They are playing a great lineup of films, in my opinion:

Unfortunately, I can’t technically be there during the entire marathon real time because I live in the west coast 😉 Kind of early! Haha, but I will watch as much as possible and these are great films, even my absolute favorite (AUNTIE MAME).






I am still here!

Hello everyone!


Contrary to what you might think, I am still alive. It looks like I may have been on a bit of a hiatus from my blog here. I had no idea school would take up as much time as it did. I don’t even have time to watch movies anymore. (What a shocker!) Well, the dreadful semester will be over in 2 weeks. I am looking forward to May 19, my last final 🙂 Anyway, do my fellow Americans know about the Rosalind Russell marathon on TCM on Wednesday, May 25? I am looking forward to that! What a great way to end the semester. Anyhoo, I thought I would start something new…. I was thinking of doing a periodic poll on my blog relating to different things (usually having to do with Roz, but maybe about other things as well…)


What do you all think? 🙂



I hope we haven’t lost too many of you! 😉
