Dammit, the loss of another one of my personal icons in a 2 week period (the first being Pamela Tiffin on December 2nd - - - my avatar is in her honor).

I was introduced to the magic and talent of Miss Ann Reinking via the 1982 film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, "Annie". I saw her on that big screen with those legs that seemed to go on forever, dancing up a storm and I was in awe! I was obsessed! I made it my business to find out who she was, where she came from

I love Paul Wontorek. He looks really good! 

 

"Promises, Promises" - they did it in the 1990s with Martin Short, Christine Baranski, and Kerry O'Malley, but I wish they would do it again if only to wash out the bad taste that woefully miscast and executed 2009 revival left in my mouth!

But, I can also see the other side too. Going to the movies isn’t cheap. Seeing a movie in Manhattan, for example, would cost 17-19 bucks. That is just for the ticket alone. But, As Sutton said, with technology the

How did Angel Records allow this recording to go out of print? It makes zero sense.

MichelleCraig said: "Thanks for posting! The most recent MY FAIR LADY Blu-ray is magnificent. It's great that it will finally be available on the digital platforms.

I find a lot of older classics available on VUDU, etc. in high definition. Manyof these films have been transferred inHD or UHD for traditional broadcast licensing and the digital platforms produce some good revenue as well. I wish more of the titles were available physically (Blu-ray), but just having them

Thanks for the posts! My husband and I recorded the film when it recently was shown on TCM. To the best of our memories, we have seen it only once (when it was originally released in

It seems the extremely complicated digital/streaming rights to the 1964 film, "My Fair Lady" starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn have been ironed out. The film will be released on all digital platforms (Amazon, Apple iTunes, Vudu, etc.) on Tuesday, November 24th. To date, the Best Picture Oscar winner has not been available to legally download or stream on any digital platform because of its complicated rights dating back to an agreement made by Warner Bros. with

Julian Ovenden's complete performance of Maria"

I love, love, love Julian Ovenden and his rendition of "Maria". I wish my name was Maria...lol

 

I can't wait to see the show-stopper:  "I Couldn't Get It Up But Now I Can"....should be thrilling! 

Oooh, very nice choices Sutton Ross, I especially love Aaron Tveit's rendition...I re-watched it 3 times!

"Maria" from WEST SIDE STORY is my all-time favorite song written for a Broadway musical. When it is sung right it always moves me to tears. With that being said my favorite part of this song is the Bb4. What's the Bb4 you ask? Well, here is a video named, "The Maria Bb4 Challenge from West Side Story" featuring some

While in the hospital they also had him pumped up on steroids to reduce inflammation. I believe he is now going thru withdrawal. Which makes one veryweak. BTW...

Wishing Loretta Swit a very happy belated birthday - - - I'm not understanding the "hate" on display for her in this thread. 

Swit played "Gooch" opposite both Hayward and Celeste Holm.  She also played Mame in 1996 at the Westbury Music Fair.

Thank you for sharing this link but as it usually goes with these types of hosts they ask a question and then proceed to talk over the guest and never let them finish any sentence let alone a train of thought...so friggin' irritating. 

I stuck with it because I've always been a fan of Lainie's. My mother owned several of her albums and played them constantly. I loved her voice and I found her so beautiful (boy crush) and I would stare at this particular album
