You make this type of comment repeatably without giving a definition of what is meant.

@velocitygirl8551 Жыл бұрын

I love these old shows, but the only down side is there is always a dusty old person who makes a comment like this. The good old days when young ladies had no rights, not allowed to have bank accounts without husbands and were expected to breed and nothing else. How conveniently you forget.

Although originally telecast on "FOUR STAR PLAYHOUSE" on January 21, 1954 ,this was actually a pilot for an unsold series that would have featured Colman as host of an anthology dramatizing famous stories.

Angela is precious as always 💖 that's my babygirl 👑 highkey I feel like Mayer knew what she was really worth but tried not to give her too much shine (probably because other studios would have offered her better opportunities... well that's my opinion anyway). I'm proud of her for overcoming typecasting as gracefully as she has though. Angie has got her own from the start, no questions asked.

With Angela they never knew what they had! When she plays the bad Saloon Girl in 'The Harvey Girls' she looked forward to singing her rousing number but they DUBBED her. Imagine dubbing Angela Lansbury of Mame!

She had a night's fling and was given the string by her lover. For the rest please look it up. I can't write it better than Maugham!

Angela Landsbury was always classy, wasn't she? She was quite lovely too. How I wish we dressed well everyday, but not in the mornings, I will admit. 😉 There's nothing better than casual Fridays, but I do think the lack of effort to look presentable affects how you are viewed.

Anyone who gets a chance at a better life, so be it. Most who are rich, doesn't necessarily want to marry someone who is rich, only the most snobbish ones. As long as they're educated, what's wrong with that? Education is more appealing to me. Of course snobs, not my bag of tea.
