Timeless Thursday: Coretta Scott King

Coretta Scott King, where do I begin? I am so filled with emotions when I think of you; it is truly difficult for me to get them all out. I feel pride; so much pride it's almost overwhelming. So many things I want to say and fit in but I know that's not possible. Certainly not in this blog and definitely not in any one blog.You were so many things. You did so many things. You believed in and

Timeless Thursday: Audrey Hepburn

If I were to attempt to do justice to a post about silver screen legend Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston, I would be the first to concede that I don't feel as if I would be able to do so fittingly. I have been at this blogging thing for a little while and I know I do a pretty OK job of it. However, I know my limitations as a writer.Instead of trying to put into words the profound admiration and

Timeless Thursday: Cicely Tyson

The very first line of certain posts can be a bit difficult for me at times. With some posts you know right away how you wanna jump in. The rest is no sweat. But that initial line, yes, it still does a number on me from time to time. The reason for that is how deeply I feel about or the individual I'm posting about or how passionately I feel about the contents of the post.This is one of those

Country Sure Looks Good To Me: Reba McEntire

So here we are into day 4. I have to admit that I've been kinda slightly agonizing over sitting down and preparing this one. One reason is that I'm kinda not feeling the 'blogging/writing' thing today. I'm feeling kinda out of sync. I think Shania's partly to blamed for some of this; after all that excitement, some of my energy has been drained.Another reason is that Reba fits into a lot of

Timeless Thursday Gone Wrong

Ever since I dedicated Thursdays to timeless beauties, I have been wanting to blog about this woman. However, I was rather disappointed when I went searching for images to include in the blog. This is a woman I have admired over the years and who I believe have made quite a valuable contribution to the entertainment industry.I was totally smitten the very first time I saw her on screen. She was

Timeless Thursday: Cloris Leachman

I remember like it was yesterday the first time I encountered Cloris Leachman on screen. It was in the movie Scavenger Hunt. I swear that that movie made a life-long impression on me. It's the funniest movie I'd ever seen and after so many years (and not being able to remember the movie from beginning to end) that it remains the funniest movie I've ever seen. Hey, to each his own. If ever there

Timeless Thursday: Joan Crawford

Lucille Fay LeSueur is noted as being born on March 23, 1905. I say noted because there is no confirmation of this. There is controversy surrounding her actual date of birth. Crawford herself listed her year of birth as being 1908, however, there is good reason to place her year of birth as 1905.If you search around the Internet for information on her, you will find that a lot of sites stick to

Timeless Thursday: Diana Ross

Diana Ross is a living icon and believe me when I tell you that this is one of the most difficult blogs that I have prepared. Not difficult in the sense of being trouble-some to prepare. No, it's difficult because of the profound admiration and respect that I have for her. Somehow I can't help but feel inadequate, overwhelmed and somewhat disadvantaged. I feel as if to blog about a woman of such

Timeless Thursday: Jane Fonda

Jane Seymour Fonda daughter of legendary screen star Henry Fonda is one of those women who have aged to perfection.I find her hotter, sexier, sassier and more beautiful now that she's older.The lines of aging has made her even more attractive than ever.She's had a rough life but has come a long way and is proof positive that anyone can overcome.Her mom committed suicide when she was only 12 years

Timeless Thursday: Meryl Streep

I won't even attempt to write anything from myself in this blog for if I do, the entire blog would read something like this: She's magnificent, beautiful, gorgeous, smart, wise beyond words, super intelligent, sexy, hot, sophisticated, classy and then I'd pretty much dig into the thesaurus to find words of the same meaning so as not to appear to be repeating myself (although technically I would

Timeless Thursday: Susan Sarandon

In life I find that some people make difficult things seem easy. Susan Abigail Tomalin is one of those persons. She acheives much and make it appear rather effortless. She's an actress, mom and political activist for liberal causes. She has won an Academy, BAFTA and SAG Awards for Best Actress for her role in Dead Man Walking (1995). In all she has won 38 Awards of one kind or another and have

Timeless Thursday: Phylicia Rashād

Phylicia Rashād was born Phylicia Ayers-Allen in Harris County Texas but spent some time growing up in Mexico to escape the harshness of racism that was prevalent back then. She's an actress who is best known for her her role in The Cosby Show. Her father is full-blooded Cherokee indian and her mom is African American. Her father, Arthur Allen was a dentist and her mom Vivian Ayers was

Timeless Thursday: Gladys Knight

My first in what I intend to be a series of many more timeless treasures to come. I think it's quite fitting to kick it off with one of the greatest soul singers of all time, Miss Gladys Maria Knight.Gladys is a singer, actor and author. She will be 64 years old in May but can still put it down as if she were 16 or even younger. She won the "Ted Mack & the Original Amateur Hour" at age 7, has
