Lorretta was authentic. She lived the life and resonated with so many like myself came from that very same background - dirt poor, hard working, and proud.

What modern country doesn't understand is the music flows out of the life and the experience of that. It is not something you can put on like a coat or an image you can project, it has to come from within.

I just don't think they realize how insulting that suburbanite, electronified, country-rap garbage is to people who have lived it and know it.
Well said!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Popular stand-up comic Judy Tenuta, known to her fans as “The Love Goddess” and “Aphrodite of the Accordion,” died of ovarian cancer on Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles. She was 72.

Known for her acerbic humor, expletive-laden jokes, raspy voice and accordion, she was among the performers who fueled the popularity of live comedy in clubs, including the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Laff Stop in Houston and Caroline’s in New York City. ... Variety

One of my favorite movies. As a young girl I aspired to be Velvet, lol. Angela was great in that.

I also think she was outstanding in Gaslight. (yes, I love old movies)

Rest in peace Mrs. Lansbury

I didn't know she was in the movie Gaslight, from which the popular woke term gaslighting came from, as Nancy.

Robbie Coltrane, Comic Performer Who Played Hagrid in ‘Harry Potter’ Movies, Dies at 72


Quote

Robbie Coltrane, a veteran Scottish-born comic and actor known for his star turns in the British crime series Cracker and the Harry Potter movie franchise, has died, his agency WME told The Hollywood Reporter. He was 72 years old.

The boisterous and decidedly eccentric Scotsman, who began his career in comedy and theater, also commanded the screen in two James Bond films during an illustrious career on both sides of the Atlantic.

Coltrane was born Anthony Robert McMillan on March 30, 1950, in Glasgow, Scotland as the son of a doctor and teacher. After graduating from Glasgow Art School, he continued his studies in art at Moray House College of Education in Edinburgh.

Leslie Jordan, diminutive comic character actor, dies at 67

Jordan, who stood 4'11", had a particular character that combined Southern charm with flamboyant, effeminate homosexuality, reflecting Jordan's real-life proclivities. He earned a long career as an actor on the stage and screen, including on Will & Grace and American Horror Story, and was starring in the sitcom Call Me Kat at the time of his death.

Jordan died in a single-car crash in Los Angeles, following a suspected "medical emergency."

He really made me laugh. He was in a sitcom a few years back with Vicki Lawrence and I thought he was very good in that.
