@Yoda_Daenerys You referenced an image with a misspelling. There is no image with a misspelling. I an unable to further ascertain your immediate needs at this time.
I remember one of my favorite TV shows when I was a very wee lass was Julia.
Finding herself widowed (Vietnam war era) and left to raise her young son on her own, Julia began working as an RN (just like my mom) for an irascible doctor played by Lloyd Nolan. I seriously adored that show. I had a serious case of hero worship. I begged for a Julia Barbie doll from Santa.
Julia was kind to everyone, even-tempered, and she could sing. I thought she was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. I wanted to be just like Julia when I grew up, down to her her hair, her makeup–loved her lipstick, and her outfits. That’s all well and good until you realize I was a blonde haired, blue eyed child with very fair skin.
@LaVikinga I liked the show, too, but not that much. Of our limited TV options it was the best in that time slot.
Women weren’t allowed to be divorced on television back then, but making her a war widow added some current events to the mix. They made Mary Richards be formerly engaged instead of divorced as written. Having Julia highlight the human costs of the war must have pissed off a few people.
@LaVikinga I loved Julia as a child as well. For women our age, that character was an incredible role model no matter the color of your skin. She had a GREAT wardrobe. It drove my bigoted dad crazy that his white daughter was enamored by a black lady on TV
Yeah, I never met her.
I was going to bang on you for drunk posting the spelling of her name but I was wrong. Maybe I didn’t know her.
@therealjrn i’m not sure if the image with the wrong spelling is relevant?
@Yoda_Daenerys You spelt good. It’s right.
@therealjrn thanks, but that wasn’t my question. i do wonder if that image has anything at all to do with the deceased.

/8ball will it repeat
As I see it, yes
@Yoda_Daenerys Okay, good talk. I feel we’re really getting some good work done here.

R WE WORKING? I WASN’T AWARE
@Yoda_Daenerys See? That’s the BEST KIND of work!
@therealjrn i’m glad we agree on the wrong spelling of the deceased’s name
/giphy at least i think we agree
/8ball “are they avoiding the facts?”
Yes
@Yoda_Daenerys They avoid the facts all the time. Those avoiding avoiders. :frowny_face:
I wept actual tears when I heard she’d died. She was an amazing human being, and it’s a sad loss.
Ah, well. Everyone leaves, sooner or later. Even I.

Remarkable human being.
@Shrdlu
Pretty cool. A trailblazer.
I remember her from dynasty. My grandmother hated soaps but watched that show, falcon Crest, and Dallas with a passion. I think she also sang??
@ivannabc You think she also sang huh. ha ha That’s all I remember from her.
@ivannabc @therealjrn
Yeah. She kinda sang a bit.
@therealjrn my memory sucks. I’ve always been awful about remembering the names of singers. Don’t remember song names either. And my memory sucks too
