Until these recent movies I've seen her in, from 1931 - 1934 or so, in that time period. She looks like a completely different person imo, and her personality, different as well. And some of the movies are quite good, she did quite a few with Clark Gable :heartluv: ... Do I need to say that those are my favorites ? :loveyou:
Tātad, sākt mācīt mums dažus vārdus un frāzes.
Sākt lēni, jo es esmu Dum-Dum. (from Google translate) :floorlaugh:
(So, start teaching us some words and phrases.
Start slow- because I am a dum-dum.)
Maybe:
"oh, no"
"I just can't look at missy's :jail: face anymore" :floorlaugh:
"good"
"bad"
(etc., etc.)
And Sveiks (welcome) to you, kundze niner (Mrs. niner) :seeya:

Okay, we need a learn Latvian video. I miss my Latvian friend, just found out he is in an assisted living place, don't know if I should pop in sometime, or if that would embarrass him. He has had several strokes over the last few years.
Which reminds me, does anyone remember the old TV series Ozzie and Harriet? Well, I just learned something new when I was listening to XM 40's on 4, that is, that Ozzie was a band leader. I always just thought of him as Ozzie from the TV showAnyway, I thought that was so cool. :dance:

Now I see there was a movie "Here Come the Nelsons". Think I'll try to find it![]()

I'm really wondering what happened in her life to harden her, could there have been some mental illness, etc., or, was she just a very unhappy person. Maybe she wanted Clark Gable but couldn't have him ? Idk, I do remember reading the book "Mommy Dearest" and seeing the movie, I have to believe it wasn't just an all out fabrication by the daughter.... very sad.
I just watched almost all of those movies in the last 12-14 hours (taking a break now, I am seeing the world in Black and White!).
Did you know she had an affair with Mr. Gable? During the time she was married to Douglas Fairbanks Jr.. From Wiki-
In 1931, she starred opposite Clark Gable in Possessed. Crawford and Gable began an affair during the production, resulting in an ultimatum from studio chief Louis B. Mayer to Gable that the affair end.
Her wiki is pretty interesting, it is like a mini-novel. Joan Crawford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As for her being "hard", I think it was a combination of her building her image as a tough as nails lady with a bit of mental illness thrown in (not extreme, but maybe a bit of OCD or bi-polar, MOO). I used to think she was the character in Mommie Dearest, but I have read a lot of conflicting things about that so I am on the fence. Many close friends say she was nothing like Christina portrayed, but I have to think there are bits of truth in the story.
Also worth noting that she left Christina nothing in her will, so that book may have been a bit of moneymaking payback.
PS- How cute was Clark Gable in "Dancing Girl"? So young!
Hi Niner, there were old movies made in the 40's with Ozzie the bandleader.
Harriet Hilliard was a songstress who joined his band. The movies of the 40's were good as many were musicals with popular bandleaders. Ethel Smith was an organist who has never been equaled, Les Paul on steel guitar they dont make them like that anymore! Gene Krupa on drums, Glenn Miller band leader~oh Dear God I'm started!! Esther Williams swimming, Charlie Chan (gotta love 'em). Those were the Days!!:drumroll:
Oh THANK YOU NORE AND YESORNO AND NEESAKI for the weekend flicks!!!! :tyou:
What, you aren't going to watch football all weekend?
The host of Deadly Sins, Darin Kavinoky and Author Shannon Hogan are on the View.
Hogan says she only has remorse for self
Remorse for being caught. By day Travis was a clean cut guy, by night freaky, kinky. Ugh
Both sides shows his humanit,
Jodi is tweeting to Jenny MCcarthy and following her.
Geez this was a waste of time. I think it was to plug the show Deadly Sins.
Just remembered another first football watching thing that I was bemused by.
Men like to touch each others behinds a great deal!
I thought, perhaps, some men friendships are more than friends. However, men do hang out more than women together, (and if you knew how much they talk about stuff even women do not talk about together you would be shocked! I have worked for all men for 18 years, it is kind of gross) so I will always wonder....
I see DaisyMae is online!!! :seeya:
I have been haunted by PSM's death and not knowing what happened to her. I truly thought that she was recovering from her surgery and her Internet was off and she couldn't post. I really appreciate everybody's support when we found out she had died. Loss hits me very hard and I really miss her.
