‘s mom.

[Deb]

Wow, you’re like lightening. Mom wasn’t around to FReep, but she was a FReeper in her heart.

[Mears]

But there also is Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[LowOiL]

Thank you for sharing... She reminds me of my mom who also was very plain spoken.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Did she do any recordings?

[Deb]

She did. I don’t know if they’d be at Amazon, but she made a few albums and she sent me the DVDs when they came out. Very sultry.

[Bellflower]

Really, really good article. I cried at the end of it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I received a $50 iTunes gift certificate for Christmas. Maybe there will be some on there.

[Bellflower]

Really, really good article referring to the article you highlighted.

PS: my mom always thought that, next to Jane, her nose looked like a cauliflower and her face looked like a meringue pie in that picture, but I liked it.

Dick Powell was a Republican. How about that? One of the greats, in my opinion.

Thank you so much Deb, and I’m sorry you’ll have to miss her for a while. But only for a while :-)

[Deb]

True. And I bet she has ‘em running for cover in heaven.

[West Texas Chuck]

Thanx for posting that Deb. What an honest and decent woman, and what a good person to have in your life.

RIP doll.

Hey Deb-

I just had to log in here to send you condolences on your Aunt Jane. What a lovely lady, inside and out. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful woman ever when I was a kid: Jane Russell and Sophia Loren!

I hope you are doing well--please email Mojo if you haven't heard from him--I didn't know if your gimli email addy was still in use?? Take care-

Linda

[Deb]

Hugs.

MORE H’WOOD CONSERVATIVES Fred MacMurray was a staunch supporter of the Republican Party who joined Bob Hope and James Stewart in campaigning for Richard Nixon in 1968.

In 1964, along with actors Victor Jory and Susan Seaforth, Colleen Gray testified before the United States Congress as part of “Project Prayer”, arguing in favor of Constitutional amendment allowing school prayer.

Dean Jagger remembered in the classic film, White Christmas, refused to work with director Joseph Losey because Losey was on the Hollywood blacklist.

Dean Jones became a devout born-again Christian in 1973–1974 and has appeared in several Disney movies and Christian films. A noted conservative, Jones also testified in favor of an amendment to the United States Constitution that would define marriage between one man and one woman.

In February 1944, Robert Taylor helped found the conservative Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals. In 1947, Robert Taylor testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee regarding fellow actors whom he believed to be Communists.

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful memories of Jane Russell. Loved her in all those old flicks, and also in the "cross-your-heart" commercial. ("Us full figured gals...")

P.S. Your mom was a pretty good-looking gal herself.
