Sylvia Folwer is "Trouble"

I was watching “The Women” last night and of course, I thought of this video which I’ve seen a few times… because it’s such a perfect song for that character (if you are familiar with her and I hope you are!)

 I especially love the part after the catfight when she yells “I hate you! I hate you! I hate everyone!” etc. etc. while breaking all the dishes in sight…. and Marjorie Main grabs her and says “Mrs. Fowler, you got the high-sterics!” It is pure insanity and pure hilarity 🙂

Rosalind Russell (1907-1976)

On Sunday, November 28, 1976, Rosalind Russell died of breast cancer, the cancer that she fought for so long (ever since they found the first tumor around 1959). Somehow, this year, 2010, seems a little special in remembrance of her because it is a Sunday once again. I imagine her family did not have a very happy Thanksgiving that year, and they probably did not celebrate at all.

If you can, watch a few video clips on YouTube of Roz or one of her movies to remember her. I know I will. 

I suggest comedies because I think that’s how Rosalind would like her fans to remember her–in happiness and laughter!

Take care, everyone. I’ll embed a few YouTube clips I would recommend. 


Note: First, I want to include a tribute of Roz created on this day by my dear friend, Renata… 🙂




Sorry for adding my own video at the end here, haha, but I think everyone should see some of the home videos of her. She was a delight 🙂

I love finding new photos

So… I was browsing, looking for some photos of Roz I perhaps hadn’t seen before… and I found some I really like 🙂 

Thought I’d share some of them on here… Just so you all know, I love any photo of her with her husband/family. Love!
