June 4 -- Rosalind Russell's birthday

Happy birthday to Roz yesterday :) 

She was born June 4, 1907, so she would have been 104 yesterday. I watched 2 of her films in honor of her birthday yesterday--His Girl Friday and Gypsy. These are two of my favorites that I hadn't watched in a while. One is a brilliant comedy and one is a musical drama (in which I believe Roz played her role perfectly). 

Hats off to Rosalind!

"Gypsy" (1962)

Okay... I have to admit, this is my SECOND favorite Rosalind Russell movie (behind "Auntie Mame," of course) because I love the way Roz interprets this character and although she may have had limited vocal abilities (although I do love the way they mixed the voices in the songs)... she was a marvelous actress and I love the great job she did in this film. I'm surprised she didn't get nominated for an Oscar, although she did win the Golden Globe!

Read about Gypsy here. 

"Gypsy" will be playing on TCM on October 28.




  
Sorry about the watermark, but I love this photo with the cake!
