Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 10, 2023 Members Share Posted February 10, 2023 What a discography! Bacharach’s biography is worth reading too, especially the audiobook version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted February 12, 2023 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2023 The rare publicist who became a celebrity in his own right: He recently worked with Erick Adame, the gay NY1 weatherman who was fired after his webcams got leaked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 12, 2023 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) So sad to see so many men in hip hop dying in their 40s-50s. Plus he died before De La Soul could introduce their music to new generations through streaming, which is set for next month.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 13, 2023 Members Share Posted February 13, 2023 3 ft and Rising was a seminal work.Years ago, in a fit of pique De La Soul made their entire discography available for download for free. A gift. R.I.P Plug 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted February 15, 2023 Members Share Posted February 15, 2023 The Variety article mentioned Raquel's memoir. I found a description: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7649305-raquel Sounds interesting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 15, 2023 Members Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Raquel Welch was one of the most stunning women ever in front of a camera, putting the dream in the dream factory. She was also incredibly striking in her charisma and mere presence. She was a movie star to her bones, even if she never really fit in, due to her personality and Hollywood's general inability to figure out what to do with women who want something different. She made some very interesting films in the '70s, a number of which became cult classics or inspired later directors (Hannie Caulder, Last of Sheila, among others); in many ways her career path resembles Sharon Stone's. She also kept herself out there for decades after what could have been a brief burst of fame, without ever leaning too far into self-parody status.

Members SFK Posted February 15, 2023 Members Share Posted February 15, 2023 Seems odd to say, "Gone too soon" at 82, but that's precisely how I feel. I really thought she'd live past 100. She looked so good in that interview she did with Piers Morgan, I didn't realize that was nearly eight years ago. My head is flooded with memories right now, can't quite put it all into words. May she rest in peace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted February 15, 2023 Members Share Posted February 15, 2023 In shock. She had such charisma in anything I've seen her in and no matter how old she was when I saw her. And could rock a red dress. RIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 16, 2023 Members Share Posted February 16, 2023 Raquel Welch had largely retreated from public gaze the last five years or so, but what a stunning woman with a boatload of charisma. Her staying power, despite several career implosions, was impressive and spoke to a very strong character. May she rest in peace.
