Oh, that is too cute! ;D I wish I had been around then. I would have started a writing campaign to God Almighty asking the same thing. I would love to know how Connie reacted when he heard of this. I love how the article said M-G-M was surprised to get 85 letters in the mail. Can you imagine if e-mail had been around in the early 40's. Could you imagine the fan mail department being inundated with 85,000 pieces of mail asking the Connie be kept alive. I agree with the young writer who was quoted. Connie is much too charming to have been killed - on screen or anywhere else! Are you listening, God?  |

That's exactly what I was thinking about! Connie is, anyway, ETERNAL.

True! Very true! Yes, there is that fact to give us comfort and when it comes our respective time to cross into the eternal realm, he would be there waiting for us. Happy to come over with Lilli (maybe even Mum, too!  ) for tea at anytime. We would be able to ask him anything we wanted, find out anything about his life that we wanted to know, discuss his movies with him and what we thought about each one, ask him about his theater work. Hey!, for all we know he might be able to take us by the hand and travel through time and we could all sit in the audience to view the actual performance. (I would finally be able to understand Connie in German. Halleluia! ;D) The magnificent part is that, in Heaven we wouldn't have to stop at just Connie. We could hobnob with all the great minds from history. One could host a lawn party at one's heavenly mansion and invite the likes of William Shakespeare, Queen Victoria, Vivian Leigh, Socrates. One could spend eternity playing Martha Stewart to the greatest people who ever lived - including Martha Stewart! |
