2,000 POSTS DONE!, so I am posting less frequently, but will still be adding news, comments and photos.. As archived, its a ramble through my movie watching, music and old magazine store and discussing People We Like [Loren, Monroe, Vitti, Romy Schneider, Lee Remick, Kay Kendall, Anouk & Dirk Bogarde, Delon, Belmondo, Jean Sorel, Belinda Lee; + Antonioni, Hitchcock, Wilder, Minnelli, Cukor, Joni Mitchell, David Hockney etc].

Betty Driver R.I.P

R.I.P. indeed to Betty Driver [1920-2011], who was stll acting in England's longest running soap CORONATION STREET into her 90s. The Rovers won't be the same without Betty's hotpot!

Betty had been a successful singer before being asked to join a new soap back in 1969! and quickly established her character as one of the more lovable in "continuing dramas".
