HarryCarter Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ingrid Bergman was originally signed, but reportedly bowed out for tax reasons. Bette Davis then accepted, but then demanded 10,000, which was double the usual rate. They got Ginger to do it and never told her she wasn't first choice.

To have failed TWICE to get the Diva Davis and that Ginger who was distantly related to Lucy and always a great friend, Lucy even mentored By Lela Rogers and yet Ginger was third choice in one of the best outings on the series???

C L A U D E Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sixteen Candles. Cheater, it was on OUR movie channels tonight, saw it at work and freaked when i saw Max's name in the opening credits and then he ends up being married to Carole Cook? What are the odds? LOL! Congrats Brockela. Name two Hollywood couples from yesteryear who were rumored to be gay but married to cover up that fact . . . One was a mentor to Lucy and the other male was once mentionned on ILL, more than once actually. And their wives had some Lucy connections as well.

Ok, looks like nobody wants to OUT the already OUTED, so here goes, the two couples i was thinking of were Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester and Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwick. NEXT QUESTION: Which Sex and the City star used to date the Prime Minister of Canada? And what famous sinigng acting directing superstar also once dated the same Prime Minister and even thought she'd become Canada's First Lady in the process?

Brock Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 LOL! Correctamundo RED, To think she could have been our First Lady!!!!! Well, despite what Margaret Trudeau's publicist says, the wife of the Prime Minister has never been First Lady... Second at the most behind the Queen. Laureen Harper -- the only redeeming thing associated with Stephen -- is currently third lady behind Liz and the Governor General's wife. Babs' relationship with Pierre was doomed from the start. She never would have accepted being the lowly third lady of the land. LOL! Think what her rendition of Oh Canada would have been like at the Canada Russia Hockey series, hum?????????? Oh Lord... Can you name THREE performers who had their last public appearance at The Oscars before they passed away? Lucy, "John Wain", and... maybe Jennifer Jones?

Ok, i was thinking of Susan Hayward but you're probably right with shaking and trembling Jennifer. She was so nervous she made Woody Allen sharing a jail cell with that big black actor from Shawshank Redemption look calm by comparison.

CO LO REC TAL again, although i thought Debbie had not even gotten an Honourary one, as i agree with Groucho's old line, A BIGGER ROBBERY THAN BRINKS!
