Very sad to hear about Barbara Walters, she was definitely one of my role models growing up.
Her Madame Tusseaud's sculpture was mesmerizing. I was struck by what a stunningly beautiful, tiny woman she was.

As weird as it sounds, Barbara Walters is one of those personalities that I thought would never die.

There are only two stars that I feel should never had died. Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe.

This is not due to fandom. I am a fan of many. No, something mysterious, yet that doesn't come close. The world does not seem right without them. Yes, it's a flight of fancy but somewhere inside of myself ... ... What?

Back in the 80s, Patrick Curtis's sister worked with me. We were having a casual chat about interests and I told her mine was "old movies". She then mentioned her brother Patrick.
