Trip to L.A.

Hello, everyone. Well, I went up to L.A. this weekend, starting on Thursday and came back yesterday afternoon. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet two online friends who are classic movie fans like me. I have known them almost a year and it was an amazing experience I will never forget! 


While I was there, I saw several things related to Roz–her grave, her house, her footprints and handprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, her star on the Walk of Fame, and the church she went to, which was down a few blocks from her house. It was really fun and here are some pictures of those things…


And YES, this huge thing is all Roz’s grave!


Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011)

I think this is the first time I’ve written a post that is non-Roz. But when I heard the news this morning that Liz Taylor had died, I had tears in my eyes. She was one of my favorites and I was shocked at the news, even knowing her condition. I think she was the most beautiful actress I have ever seen and she wasn’t just beauty like many were. She had brains, too, and talent. You’ll agree with me if you have seen her in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” I was blown away by her performance and the ending makes me cry along with her every time. She was truly amazing, gorgeous, and a true star in the best sense of the word.

Rest in peace, Liz. We’ll never forget you.
