what do you mean Reynolds ‘abandoned’ the ranch? Just left it to decay? Couldn’t he sell it?
The surrounding landscape was beautiful..the lake and all.
As for his singing; it wasn’t too bad.
No, our classic stars we’ll never see the like of again..and they’re almost gone. Today’s ‘stars’ can’t begin to compare..
I literally fell in love with James Steward. Now THERE was a man. He didn’t just play a war hero like Wayne and such, he WAS a war hero.
I still can’t believe Liz (of the violet eyes) the most beautiful woman in the world, is gone from us.
And Marilyn. Never will there be an equal.
She was mesmerizing. She had that certain something. You could watch nothing but her when she was on screen.
They’ve tried many times to create another, but they never will.
Bette Davis..probably my favorite. Now THAT was an actress.
Clark’s family blamed Marilyn for his fatal heart attack (right after they finished ‘the Misfits’) because she caused so much stress by being always late on set and all.
Truth probably is that he insisted on doing his own stunts at his age and that did it.
Wonder what ever happened to John Clark? (Gables’s son)
Gable was quite a rounder in his day (false teeth and all), managed to knock up Loretta Young during ‘Call of the Wild’ (Kept secret for many, many years)Loretta was supposed to have gone away and ‘adopted’ her. lol
Studios paid big money to hush up such scandals in those days. Now nobody cares. They all let it all hang out LOL
Finally saw the Misfits not that long ago 2-3 months. Didn’t enjoy it. Perhaps the memory of the back stage antics of the stars. Don’t know, but I’d not venture forth to see it again.
The ranch was in total decay. Do remember not long ago he was in NY and media reported something about owing the city/state mucho dinero in back taxes. As to the abandoned....in the same series of You Tube videos these same two filmed Vincent Minnelli, Liza’s dad’s abandoned home in Hollywood This old dilapidated mansion of by-gone days. Creepy!! Do remember reading about Gable’s son and even seeing a photo of him. He resembles the big guy a great deal. His name will pop up on occasion, but his mom was very low key in raising him and avoided the spotlight as much as possible. GWTW was such a sad story/plot. But the real story in real life was just as sad. When Clark’s wife would visit the hospital room it was said he constantly asked her to turn side ways so he might see his son. He so anticipated that child. And then he died before ever seeing him. Sad, sad, story.
