Re: Has everyone gone into Winter hibernation ?

Me, too. I was without a DVD player for quite a while. I broke it when I put one of her movies in there, ha! Now I have to get another one. I have it now, so maybe I will just watch a whole bunch of her movies on a Friday. Sounds good. I would always recommend With a Song in My Heart. It's so heartwarming :D

Re: Has everyone gone into Winter hibernation ?

I'm sorry. I didn't see your reply there, Kerry, the first time.

I've always hated cold. I get cold very easily, while I can deal with warmth. I embrace it. I highly doubt, to tell you the truth, that I'll ever be able to EMBRACE cold. And there are so many other things besides weather that are great about southern California as well, haha. Except for the wildfires, of course....

Re: Has everyone gone into Winter hibernation ?

Ann:

Having been to New England several times, I absolutely love it in autumn. Of course, the leaves turn here in PA in the fall also, but they start earlier in New England, and somehow they just seem even more brilliant when they do.

Unlike Desiree and Kerry, I don't like summer. Autumn is my favorite time of year, and believe it or not, I love winter, too -- just not ice, LOL.

As to Susan's films, Kerry mentioned a lot of excellent ones. Of course, we women do love our tear-jerkers, too, so I manage to watch Back Street and Stolen Hours probably more than some of the others. Of course, I know Back Street is not a great pix; it's melodramatic and completely unbelievable in many ways, but to see Susan in glamorous clothes against backdrops of gorgeous settings, well, what more does any right-thinking woman need?

Stolen Hours is difficult to watch, I know, because of the similarities to Susan's real life travails. But here again, we get to see lovely settings like the English countryside, and I think Susan's performance was beautifully understated (unlike the histrionics of Bette Davis in the former version of the film).

And looking at hunky guys like Michael Craig and John Gavin isn't hard to take either!

As to They Won't Believe Me, it's a very good film. I'm not a fan of Robert Young, but I think he gave a fine performance here of an innately bad guy. Susan's part was not the major one, but as usual, she was excellent. And the ending was not anticipated! I recommend it highly.

I don't know if Kerry mentioned The Lusty Men, but this is one I enjoyed, even though I hate rodeos. I know Susan and Robert Mitchum didn't get along well, but that certainly didn't show on celluloid. (Or maybe that's why they were so good on film; a little sexual tension?)

Here's to some great watching, for those days when the weather outside turns too rough for even us cold-weather gals to take!

Re: Re: Has everyone gone into Winter hibernation ?

I love fall and winter.. fall is my favorite.. I don't mind winter because I work at home.. ha..I love my fireplace, hot chocolate, candles, and I love it when it gets dark early. I am a vampire. haha

I'm sure Susan must have loved fall in Georgia unless she might have had allergies which I never remember hearing such.

Hello Ginger...

Yes I often hope that Susan got to enjoy even the simple little pleasures of the average person while she had life and health. I suppose that is a testament to how much we fans all love her.

I am pleased to see the new magazine cover you have posted here. Gorgeous and sultry Susan ! ANN
