She is so talented!:wub2:

Thanks to the Internet I've been able to buy most of her films...She was my childhood biggest star and even at that time her movies were already old, my mum introduced me to them!

 

I can't believe you know what I meant!:biggrin2::wub2:

 

 

Remember who said--

"Don't forget the connoli" ?

 

No, I'm sorry! The only one I can think of is Ray's mum in Everybody loves Raymond!:roftl:

RE: Shirley--

I'm a woman of a certain age . . . for a time, as an adult,

Shirley lived not too far from where my family lived

-- off River Road, in Potomac, Maryland.

 

RE: The cannoli bit, I think the correct quote is

"LEAVE THE GUN, TAKE THE CANNOLI"

from a VERY famous movie. I'm hunting for a clip--
