Gooseberry Crumble

I much prefer burger king! Much juicy and more tantalising on the tastebuds!

I couldn't agree more! And don't worry I won't be starting one on your Gran!

Glad your enjoying it! There will be a few men in there too but I won't be doing quite as many as you think! Certainly not aged around 60 unless they are clearly in serious health difficulties and certainly not everyone!

I think Clint Eastwood directed this movie but didn't star in it? I'm also pretty sure his mother lived to around 100 so there's a reasonable prospect he's got quite a few years left in him yet. Not to be complacent of course -his mother's lifestyle and specific genetics could be quite different from his!

No but thanks for asking!

Snap -She's on one of my Crumble deadpools!

Oh I get where you are coming from but I've known a few people in my own life who have been really active and able well into old age and then have a rapid decline or die "suddenly" or unexpectedly. Appearances can sometimes be an unreliable predictor. There may be some truth in the saying that creaky old doors last the longest! At 85 and given her level of fame I felt a thread was a good idea.

I think she is a republican but perhaps just likes Obama and Clinton in a personal sense rather than politically? I know that George Bush senior and his wife Barbara adore Bill Clinton on a personal level. Having said that liking Trump and downplaying his behaviour as Donald is Donald is just blurrghh!

Yes he was probably one of Elizabeths worst or poorest choices of husband Eddie Fisher aside.

Have her political views changed in recent years?

Recently as in a few days ago thanked fans for their best wishes on her 85th birthday. She held a big celebration birthday concert. Not bad at all for 85!

http://radaronline.com/videos/elizabeth-taylor-ex-larry-fortensky-dies-sister-reveals-sad-final-days/ Radar Online is reporting the same, that Larry Fortensky has died. I know they aren't always the most reliable of sources but I don't think they'd make up something like this. One would hope not anyway but it seems pretty official to me going by the article.

Admittely that wasn't Dame Shirleys finest hour!

Here's a picture of Clarissa Eden (far right) taken in the early 2000s with Norma Major, Mary Wilson and Cherie Blair

Sorry meant to respond to this ages ago! That doesn't surprise me at all, The Duchess of Kent seems to be a a person who puts people at their ease quite quickly and is not really grand at all. I believe in the late 1990s early 2000s she spent a few years as a music teacher or tutor at a school in Yorkshire but none of them seemed to know who she was which was just the way she liked it. She doesn't strike me as having any self importance about her. She was close to the late Princess Diana and a bit of an ally for Sarah Ferguson /The Duchess of York after scandal and silly antics caused her to be basically exiled from much of the royal family. She had her back so to speak and spoke up for her when antipathy towards Fergie was quite high within royal circles. I'd probably curtesy or bow to her and quite happily despite not really being much of a royalist at all!

Very sad news for Carol as I seem to recall from interviews and some TV appearances with her mother that they were an exceptionally close Mother and Daughter.

Many Thanks for your detailed reply

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fyfe. Scottish Actor Robert Fyfe is still alive aged 91. He played Howard although I didn't follow the show closely enough to know if Howard was an original character /cast member. But I don't think he was.

So sad

She certainly exudes that kind of unstoppable vitality although appearances can be deceptive. She still regularly flies to LA and generally globe trots a lot. Especially last year in the aftermath of the death of her younger sister novelist Jackie Collins she went on a lot of holidays Peru etc saying she was taking nothing for granted and seizing the opportunity whilst she could to visit these places. She also said last year she wasn't going to do anymore tours of her "one woman stage show" once it had concluded it's 2016 run. Perhaps a small sign she's starting to slow down a bit?

Goodness I hadn't realised that he's never appeared on the official deathlist. He's an absolute pivotal figure in the history of the late 20th century.

Genuinely never heard any drug rumours about Angie Dickinson before?!

I quite liked her until her excessive avarice became apparent.

I believe Angie was on location shooting this film with Ronald Reagan when news broke about JFKs assassination. It's a tale she often conveys and repeats when she's at public Q+A sessions or media interviews.
