On Sunday, November 28, 1976, Rosalind Russell died of breast cancer, the cancer that she fought for so long (ever since they found the first tumor around 1959). Somehow, this year, 2010, seems a little special in remembrance of her because it is a Sunday once again. I imagine her family did not have a very happy Thanksgiving that year, and they probably did not celebrate at all.
If you can, watch a few video clips on YouTube of Roz or one of her movies to remember her. I know I will. I suggest comedies because I think that's how Rosalind would like her fans to remember her--in happiness and laughter!
Take care, everyone. I'll embed a few YouTube clips I would recommend.
Note: First, I want to include a tribute of Roz created on this day by my dear friend, Renata... :)
Sorry for adding my own video at the end here, haha, but I think everyone should see some of the home videos of her. She was a delight :)
Ah... I am so glad they are playing this film because I have only seen it on YouTube and am very glad to finally see it on the TV. It was Rosalind's last feature film. She was feeling the signs of her rheumatoid arthritis during the shooting of this film, and this is a disease that would plague her the last 5 years of her life (along with cancer, which she had been fighting for many years already). If you are able to catch this on TCM, I hope you enjoy it! I did.
