HarryCarter Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 She went out on top. I'm so glad there was such a renewed interest in her in the last year. The Rose Marie documentary is terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Morenzi Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I've never seen much of The Dick Van Dyke Show, but I remember how terrific she was. I'll have to see this documentary. Such sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 How many performers can you name that went all the way from Vaudeville Superstar to Twitter Sensation? Talent like that sticks around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Undoubtedly they knew each other, but did Rose Marie and Lucy ever cross paths professionally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie2 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Rose Marie's Twitter account (and I'd assume also her Facebook) shared this message from her daughter, Georgiana "Noopy" Rodrigues: Noopy here. It's probably hard to believe that with Mom being 94, that her passing would come as a shock to us, but it did. I want to let you know how much your comments, tweets and messages meant to her. She was in a constant state of disbelief that so many still cared about her, her memories, her career, and what she had to say. She loved knowing you were using her recipes, enjoying her memories, being inspired by her life, and laughing at her jokes. She was so thrilled with the documentary that Jason made about her life and it made her so happy to know that you were enjoying it as well. She wanted nothing more than for the film to be successful. And if truth be known, she also wanted to be remembered. So, to that end, I've decided that we're going to keep her Twitter and Facebook going. I've asked Kathy, who has been serving as her assistant, to continue sharing Mom's stories and photos with you (she had tons). Jason, who gave her the gift of going out on top, will share news about the film and where and how you will be able to see it. I'll keep tabs on everything and drop in every once in a while to share a story or some news. Mom always said, "timing was everything," and she had perfect timing, so we have to believe this was her time. She'd waited a long time to be reunited with my father and I'd like to think that they're together again. Thank you for all the love you showed her and for you support of Steve and I as we adjust to life without her larger-than-life presence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice obit video from ABC with footage from Rose Marie's last on camera interview. Notice that she has Lucy's stamp hanging on her wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I ordered the DVD of "Wait for the Laugh". It hasn't come yet and I just saw an ad on Decades. They're running it on Tuesday night followed by Rose's appearance on "Gunsmoke" (?!) and a Doris Day Show. This is the half-hour version Gunsmoke so it was before Dick Van Dyke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Still hope this hits Canada sometime. I’ve asked our year round documentary festival to get on it but no response so far. Hmph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 "Wait for Your Laugh" will be on ME TV Sunday at 11:00pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Rose Marie guest-starred in one of the final episodes of Wings as Roy's mother, which I just saw a few nights ago. I don't know anyone else who could've pulled off her opening line - "Open up, Roy, I gotta use the can!" I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary at some stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
