Perhaps you were just subconsciously comparing her performance with that of Shirley MacLaine's, as Shirley not only had the meatier role in this, but I always thought she nailed it, too.

Eeeh! C'mon now,Tom! YOU know that one can talk 'til they're blue in the face to some women about how them likin' "bad boys" isn't the smartest thing in the world and yet THEY won't listen, DONCHA???!!! LOL

Good to see I'm not the only one who remembers and likes that dame..err..Dame.

OH yeah, her's too. But at least in Rosanne's case, THAT'S part of her comedic shtick, and unlike those two dramatic actresses I just mentioned.

Sorry James, but while June's "Five-Pack-a-Day" sounding voice IS off-putting to me TOO, I'm stickin' with those nasally and whinny soundin' voices of Shelley's and Shirley's as the kind of voice that would have ME lookin' for an escape route within minutes IF I ever found myself stuck in some freakin' room with 'em!!!

Thanks, Ray. Yeah, you're right. However, didn't all three of these gentlemen share somewhat of a similar baritone voice and which they'd often, let us say, "over-inflect"?

Well Tom, seein' as how the term "actor" is now being applied generically to women who act as well, I'm going to add a couple of ladies here who while very good at their craft, every time they'd open their mouth to speak, it was like nails on the ol' chalkboard to my ears... ...and... (...SHREEEEEEEEEECCCCCHHHHHH!)

If you were wearin' your hair a lot longer back then like many of us did, are you sure she wasn't referrin' to PEGGY ANN Garner, finance???

The answer to THAT is EASY, ham ol' buddy! It's 'cause the PREDOMINANT location from which MOST of this freakin' BELLYACHIN' about "PC" comes from is FROM "The Right", and soooooooo WHENEVER I see OR hear people on THAT end of the political spectrum goin' into THEIR version of "PC", it adds an added little factor into this whole matter...yeah, you go it, as it appears you understand...HYPOCRISY!!! In OTHER words, during my 62 years on this planet, I'VE noticed that those on The Right are JUST as likely to shout down expressed thoughts that go against THEIR opinions as are those on The Left! YEAH, I really HAVE! (...I hope THAT answers your little question here, my friend!!!)

I started having a little crush on Wendy Hiller after catching I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING! (1945) a few years ago.

LOL (...then I'll bet YOUR "Judy, Judy, Judy" line is MUCH more believable than George "Goober" Lindsey's ever was, eh?!)

Well first here MissW, I must say I'm delighted to learn that AT LEAST you Canadians DON'T add that "superfluous letter 'i'" in the word "aluminum" like those "you-know-who" people do, and which gives me hope that ANOTHER "superfluous" letter you people still use up your way will soon fall by the wayside, TOO! And secondly, I might call to your attention that aluminum foil hats are SOOOOO "2013", and that PRESENTLY people are utilizing chapeaus(sorry for the French here) made of a titanium alloy construct and which have proven to be FAR superior in these regards. (...in fact I understand there's a certain haberdashery located right next door to the Timmy's in Central Toronto and which is now carrying these particular little numbers...you may wish to check this out for yourself, IF that is you're at all into the latest and greatest things)

Couldn't believe you left Sophia without sayin' to her...and while doin' a Bogie impression... "Well, we'll alwaysh have Roma, shweetheart!"

Isn't that the guy many people would often confuse with The Great Gildersleeve because their vocal delivery was so similar?

Naaah! I ain't believin' ANY o' THAT, MissW! And MAINLY because you quoted me AND even REPLIED to me here! (...but truth be known, I wouldn't blame ya at all if this WERE true!) LOL

Po-li-TI-cal Cor-RECT-ness noun - words and/or ideas that anything YOU don't like hearing about OR talking about because it might offend your "tender sensibilities", and regardless of YOUR political persuasion because right-wingers are often as likely to resort to this as any OTHER freakin' person in the world is, should never be uttered, let alone discussed (...I just looked this up in my Funk & Wagnall and that's what it said)

"Oh, Todd!"

Not quite, James. What usually happens in MY case is that some LONG-TIME posters around here who might be a little, let us say, "insecure", and NOT some newbie, will get tired of my shenanigans and place me on their ignore function, as I'm usually very, let us say, "gentle", with the newbies at first! (...just for clarification purposes here, ya see) LOL

(...per a request by lavenderblue...) Eddie Foy Jr. ...and... Allen Jenkins

I'll bet my house Priscilla Presley doesn't feel this way! (...a house, I might add, MUCH more modest than Graceland)

Ahem...excuse me here James, but I THINK the topic was "British ACTRESSES". And, while I know the name "Leslie", just like "Pat", is kinda "androgynous", I just wanna say here...... LOL (...sorry, couldn't resist) ...edit to follow... Just saw that TB added "(or actors)" in his OP, so never mind.

LOL Well ham, I don't think Liposuction had yet been invented during the time THAT George was strutin' HIS(considerable) stuff around!

Yeah, but NOW we're back to that annoying Brooklyn accent of Shirley's again here, aren't WE???!!! LOL

Hmmmm...sounds like me and one of the guys I play tennis with. (...and who keeps sendin' me all those damn paranoid right-wing themed emails all the time that I keep tellin' him on the courts to stop sendin' to me!) LOL

REALLY Arturo?! THAT'S what you'd have told Raft??? (...I think I would have told him to stick to dancing, 'cause at least he could do THAT reasonably well)
