Browsing through my old videos... ahem
I have been looking through my old videos today and sometimes I cringe at parts because I am always thinking about how much better something can be... but sometimes I think some of the older videos aren't so bad... I enjoy watching the videos I made of Roz because they are special because she is special in my heart!
This is an older one that I made, but I think the above one is better. What do you think?
P.S. It still warms my heart that one of the first videos that comes up when you search for Rosalind Russell is this picture montage I made of her marriage to Frederick Brisson (I still can't understand why it gets so many hits and comments, but I love it!)

A Farewell to Classic Actress Tourney 2013
Dear readers,
I have had so much fun co-hosting this tournament this year. In fact, I think I had more fun this year than last year, my first time at bat. I think this is because I knew more about my duties and what I am supposed to do as a co-host, as well as the fact that I hosted the same 1940s decade as last year, which is also my favorite decade of film.
As you all know, this is a blog dedicated to Rosalind Russell, and while she did not even make it past Round 1 (tear!), I hope she will do better in the future. I have always considered Rosalind a severely underrated actress, even though she was nominated for an Oscar four times and nominated for a Golden Globe five times (and won every time!). However, the truly remarkable thing about Roz is her true personality and real self. From what I know of her, I think of her as a rather selfless person who would give so much of her time away from her "day job" as actress, wife, and mother to charities. The only Oscar she received was not for her acting work, but for her charity work. I just started writing this freely as words came to my mind, so now that this is in the front of my mind, I'd like to share with you Roz's acceptance speech of that lone Oscar, which was so special and sweet to her and to her fans, I am sure. This video always makes me tear up a little because she had been so ill at the time (from her cancer, perhaps, but mostly from her rheumatoid arthritis, for which she had to take cortisone shots that disfigured her figure and bloated her face). Take a look!
And once again, I would like to thank Monty of All Good Things for asking me to co-host the tournament this year and I hope to make a good impression next year as well. I hope everyone had a good time voting for their favorite actresses, even if some were surprised by the results. It was such good fun! Until next year!

Adorable video from the 1969 Oscars!
So, a friend shared with me this adorable and funny video of Roz presenting the award for Best Sound at the 1969 Oscars. I don't know about you, but when I watch something new and exciting like this, I can just squeal for joy. Haha! I hope you like this one if you haven't seen it! <3
