This is sad news. I didnt realize she was 85 yrs old! I used to love seeing her do all the late night talk shows years ago. You never knew what she would say, but you knew it would be interesting. Her books were interesting too.

Estelle Parson played Rosanne's mom. Shelley Winters was the grandmother.

So sad. A real talent, and a real personality. I met her for a few seconds briefly once, quite a formidable lady. Nothing phoney about her, rather salty though. Just like her book. She called it as she saw it. A great loss.

My favorite story about Shelly Winters...I think I have told it here on the board before, but I'll do it again.

While casting a film, the director called Ms. Winters into the office because the director wanted her to audition for the role. Well, Shelly went to the director's office with a satchel in hand and, after she sat down, she placed the bag upon her ample lap and pulled out one...then another...Oscar from it and placed them on the director's desk. She then said, "Here's my audition. You see...some people in this town think I can act" and left the office.

She didn't get the part.

She will be missed. She had the best quotes.

“I'm not overweight. I'm just nine inches too short.”

“Whenever you want to marry someone, go have lunch with his ex-wife”

“I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.”

“Where do you go to get anorexia?”

“It was so cold I almost got married”

“In Hollywood, all marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes the problems.”

“Security is when I'm very much in love with somebody extraordinary who loves me back.”


“He had a quality of sexual lightning.”

I pulled out my copy of "Shelley, aka Shirley" last night and intend to enjoy re-reading every word of it.

I am sooooooo sad. I grew up on his music. Mustang Sally and Midnight Hour will always be favs. No one ever sang them like he did.

I can't beleive this! Lou Rawls, now Wilson Pickett. He really wasnt even that old, but it said he was having health problems. Good thing is we will always have their music.

Anthony Franciosa dead at 77

Anthony Franciosa, whose strong portrayals of moody, troubled characters made him a Hollywood star in the 1950s and '60s but whose combative behavior on movie sets hampered his career, has died, his publicist said Friday. He was 77.

Franciosa died Thursday at UCLA Medical Center after suffering a massive stroke, publicist Dick Guttman said. The actor's wife of more than 35 years, Rita, and other family members were present.
