Looked like a real woman from her birth!<BR/><BR/>Alexis:<BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Kate Gabrielle:<BR/>Some films have the tendency to grow on you! I had the same experience with All About Eve, for some reason... But I think I concentrated too much to hate Anne Baxter's character (she lits a fire of anger within every woman!) that I couldn't notice the brilliance of the film.<BR/><BR/>Matthew Coniam:<BR/>Glad you enjoyed the post! How terrible that she had thought of that way of dying...<BR/>I also read that there is a widely spread rumour that she fell asleep while watching her own film with a lit cigarette, and that that was the reason of the fire. But there was nothing that pointed toward that explanation, so it was probably only a romanticized story that looked good in the press.Lolita of the Classicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596876234508882958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-63038091140955404762009-03-24T08:56:00.000+01:002009-03-24T08:56:00.000+01:00Great stuff!

I read somewhere that she had a lifelong terror of dying this way... very sad.<BR/>The clip from Blood and Sand makes me regret never having seen this version - an oversight I shall correct.<BR/>Cheers!Matthew Coniamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302989527514886503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-17340108472998460922009-03-24T06:11:00.000+01:002009-03-24T06:11:00.000+01:00What a sad story.
