  2. Rupert Graves Mary Martin's daughter, Heller Halliday Robert Kennedy & Ted Kennedy Barbara Bel Geddes Joey Stefano
  3. Thanks The forum members lives near several well known celebrities in R M.
  4. Rancho Mirage suggestions. At least one members lives there, but he has not posted in a while.
  5. One of the Boston Symphony Orchestra Wagner concerts with Jonas Kaufman is at Carnegie Hall in New York. That concert is the one I am seeing. And it is act three of Tristan and Isolde.
  6. Wonderful A+
  7. If one or both of your parents die at a young age, I would completely understand living in the present. F**k saving for the future.
  8. I love watching Novak Djokovic play. He has the mental toughness to have a winning record against both Fed and Nadal.
  9. Conners and McEnroe acted out on tennis courts often for years. I enjoyed watching McEnroe play tennis, Connor not so much.
  10. Even in later years, my mother made it fairly easy for me by becoming friends with a counselor at her local senior center. When Mom started having memory and healthy problem in a city I no longer know, I received invaluable help and advice from that senior center. Another possibleresource.
  11. Even in that guest appearance, Garland is less sharp than the Christmas 1967 concerts in New York City Yes, she talked to the audience too much in the beginning and complained about the theater. But, once Judy started to sing, she was quite good. If she had been able to perform at that level, she might have lived longer. Garland at her very best: Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall (1961 complete recording).
  12. @marylander1940, he is typical of truck drivers I met in Philadelphia gay bars in the 1990s.
  13. Judy Garland was the most talented performer I ever saw in person at a 1961 concert in Boston when I was a freshman in college. .She sang in a huge arena (Boston Garden) with an orchestra. Otherwise, she was alone on stage for over two hours.
  14. Her ego was much too big. Noel Coward and Judy Garland talked about the phonograph record of her post Second World War tour of Germany. Too soon to go back there. The record was just applause. She would say "That's Frankfurt and this Munich." Garland commented, "and not a note of music."
  15. I mostly agree with Judy Garland about Marlene Dietrich's singing. However, The time I saw Judy perform (Christmas, 1967 in New York) she was still very good but not sensational. Look, I am very glad to have seen her in person.
  16. Marlene was the first person to sing in German in Israel.
  17. Marlene is certainly a hero in Berlin, except for the far right wing. She was one of the many famous people in the 1961 film "Judgment in Nuremburg," with Spencer Tracey.
  18. I knew Sidney Poitier's cousin in the Army so was aware the family has deep roots in the Bahamas. Jeffrey Poitier has said at least 23 relatives are unaccounted for as of Thursday, including his sister and her grown children. Jeffrey and his sister are nephew and niece of Sidney Poitier, who is 92 years old.
  19. With the exception of "Wtness for the Prosection," her films are mostly forgotten. Yes?
  20. I remember the night Judy Garland told Jack Paar that Dietrich "is not one of our great singer." Paar was in London so it wasn't live, rather on tape. Prime time, not late night. In the mid 1960s, Dietrich was still performing, so Garland shouldn't have said anything.
  21. I saw "The Boy From Oz" in a theater in Sydney, Australia in 1998. At intermission, I happen to see a small sign that signified that Dietrich's last concert took place there. I believe she fell at some point that last night. The theater: some variation of Her Majesty's ......
  22. Are people who watch programs in 2019 to 2022 interested in Dietrich in the 1960s?
  23. Strange answer for people who know you from this site, and consider hiring you. Several years ago I had to negotiate with a provider I knew for here. I liked him for his personality and sex appeal. We were never able to agree on an amount ☹️. To be fair, I could not afford his quoted amount even when he compromised. Yet, we still know each from this site, and it did not change our relationship here.
  24. When my dad died, my mother never thought about moving. Their Massachusetts home had an amazing view of a nearby lake. One of her neighbors once worked with my father. They did not know the connection until a few years later. It helped a lot as my mom got older.
  25. John McEnroe was just as bad in tennis matches. When his children were young, McEnroe let them run around in the broadcast booth at the US Open.
