All were stars at that point, but there’s something quite amazing about Lansbury, never had to rely on beauty, she had such talent, even with the same choreography, everything she does stands out as being that much better, perfect, a real pro. An amazing talent that surely will be missed from the Broadway and film community!

@@timothyball7502 An acting or mere entertainment star is the status of someone who is not actually that good at acting or entertaining, but who is appreciated and loved despite being talent-challenged.

[@timothyball7502]

@@haranoe Yes, yes all that I have been in on for decades. But a star is a space object first. Actors got that title for the early actors did shine. Studios promoted them to bring in vast audiences. Money was the Boss! From 1988 to current crop of actors don't shine as the first actors did. Now actors are independent individuals. Studios don't control actors as once did. Language is just to much in a state of flux. Rigid isn't the answer, but a star is too high of a word. Entertainers is better.

When it comes to the Oscar's and any award show I stick by that statement as I remember in the 2000s ladies wearing Jean's for events like the tony awards and Oscar's which isnt good enough in my mind. So I stand by the statement in that context not as in an every day lives context just dont read into it that way as it isnt ment in anything other than being in the public eye on an awards night to which you need to be dressed appropriately

+carmenjones411 : It was a bit over the top bitchy. I love all those actresses. Certainly Roz and Susan worked hard for decades and deserved more respect.

[@orhugs]

I think it was just edgy for the times. That was the kind of humour not usually put out there in front of everyone, especially not televised. Studios still worked for "appearances" and the show biz, perfect life effect. This cracked that facade a bit, and I think that's what made them uncomfortable.

[@gatewayski1]

Yes it was good, but I don't know if Roz Russell & Susie Hayward were impressed with what was written about them. The writing kind of put them down. I feel they were quite rightly embarrassed by the material while adeptly performed.

Angela Lansbury and Dana Wynter - two marvellous actresses and women of discretion, elegance and integrity .
