    Yes Cam I did......and he actually took her out of my arms and carried her down the street to where the rest of the cast was shooting, and said "Look at this beautiful child, can we find a spot for her in the movie"...........hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and handed her back to me, and said ......."face of an angel"..........

    She had beautiful curly black hair, olive skin, and dark eyes.....and is still beautiful today...and is 45 with 2 children of her own.......this is her today.

    Ducky- what a cool story about Sidney Portier. Your daughter is beautiful too! What a nice memory!

    It is cool to see some of the legends at this Oscars. And I agree, the dresses are very lovely tonight.

    The only movie star I ever came face to face with was Christopher Reeve. Back around the time he was in Superman. He was on my plane to CA in 1978, when I went out to visit my sister when she lived in CA the first time. He was so handsome. 

    We have a lot of things filmed here in NM. There is a big studio across the street from my client site where many of the inside shots are done. We always hope we will be out grabbing lunch and run into someone. Like Johnny Depp, for example. He is always filming something here.

    Ducky how sweet and yep he is handsome ---Oh I love that song along with just a few others like that--she did a great job, She did sing an octave lower but still sounded great and all those people who passed--I didn't know a couple of them died actually.

    My actual favorite from Bette Miller was Boogy Woogie Bugle Boy from Company C===She's great doing that song to and I loved her in the movie Drowning Mona--hysterically funny and she was fantastic.

    Ducky your daughter is just beautiful. Your husband ..what a brilliant smile-so handsome. 

    I am diverting fro a moment. Here and on facebook..people are commending the performances of Bette and Pink. While I like both, I have to say the most impressive performance I saw recently was Katy Perry on the Beatles Tribute. I couldn't watch the show the first time around. (whatever the reason-prob too tired) but caught it when they replayed it.

    Her vocal range and ability to make a song her own was amazing. I kept thinking ,,,I knew I liked her voice...just never ealized how truly talented she is.....

    OMG Ducky.....

    There's your daughters admirer.....I think I am going to cry now

    awwwwww

    Hi hermits- enjoyed the Oscars. Ellen was funny, loved Bette singing, everyone looked lovely. Some good acceptance speeches by some who thought them out in advance.

    Feeling better today, back to work and lots to catch up on. Will be back in a few more days. 

    Wishing everyone a decent week!

    Cami.......yes that is the 2 children  who belong to the Sidney Poitier admirer.......LOL.....the girl is an absolute amazing softball pitcher for her school softball  team......and the boy is a varsity golfer for his HS team since he was a freshman.....I took care of both of the from when they were born.....my daughter works from home now so she is there now for them.......loved every minute of it......

    We both worked for GlaxoSmithKline.  After 20 years with the company I retired so she could continue to work....I was the only one she would allow to take care of my grandson when he was born.....best years of my life...........most rewarding job I ever had.....he filled the piece of my heart that I lost when my husband died......I felt if someone was going to continue working it could be my daughter.......

    So yes that is 2 of my 18.......I am blessed......

    As far as the Oscars.........same old, same old, the best part of the entire show was Ellen, who is hysterical......Bette Midler singing, and Pink did a fantastic job with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.........the rest was boring...........Ellen kept it worth watchi'ng..........

    Poor Kim Novak.......what did she do........she was gorgerous in her day......someone really ruined her face......that was the worst PS I have seen since Kenny Rogers did his......Thank God he had it reversed.......hopefully she sued the Dr.
