R.I.P. Jane Wyman

What a coincidence. Just today I was talking with someone on IMDb about Jane Wyman's The Blue Veil and a few hours later I hear she died today. What a loss. I first saw her in The Lost Weekend which she was great in. She won an oscar for Johnny Belinda, another great performance.

Awww. Oh dear. I was thinking about her today, too. :/ She is a great favorite of my Nonnie's.

Whoa. I visited The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley this past weekend, and Wyman was married to Reagan for 8 years; from 1940-1948. I also watched her in Alfred Hitchcock's STAGE FRIGHT not too long ago. I've always liked her, even from the very first time I saw her, which was also in THE LOST WEEKEND. I've never seen JOHNNY BELINDA, but now it seems the perfect time to do so more than any.

I hope Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland live to be 100. Losing one of these sisters would just kill me. I adore them both.

As long as we're on the subject, it should also be noted that the long-distinguished character actor Charles Lane died recently at the age of 102.

Hmmhhmm. Also, Madeleine L'engle has passed away, too. She wrote "A Wrinkle In Time."

I didn't know her well,but I'm sorry for this lost.It's so sad that everyone has to die and you see all these people die and you can do nothing...even if they lived a long and full life,like Katharine.

It's always a great loss.
