    Technically Marilyn could still be alive today. Considering Zsa Zsa, Olivia de Havilland, Doris Day, Betty White, Angela Lansbury, Eva Marie Saint, Julie Harris [[and others) are all 90+ and still with us!

    Lupita Tovar [[mother of Susan 'Imitation Of Life' Kohner) is the oldest notable actress still living and, at 105 years old, is among the oldest ever. She is due to be 106 years old on July 27th.

    The oldest, most notable of actresses still alive is indeed Olivia de Havilland, who will be 100 years old , again in July [[1st)......

    I love Lupita, she is excellent in the 1931 Spanish language version of "Dracula". While the classic Bela Lugosi version was being filmed during the day, at night a different cast and director would come in to film the Spanish language version on the same sets. She was about 20 at the time.

    Karl Malden was in his late 90's when he passed, too.

    Did it mention if Olivia de Havilland made her peace with her sister Joan Fontaine, before she passed away? I don't think it happened, and it sounds as if the ill-feeling was far more from Joan, than Olivia.

    They are still the only siblings to have won Academy Awards in leading roles.

    Cole Porter. What a talent, a composer of both words and music. So many of my favorite Great American Songbook songs are from his pen. Among my faves “You Do Something To Me” “Do I Love You?” “After You, Who?” “Just One Of Those Things” and “Anything Goes”.

    In 1965, a year after Cole’s passing Julie London [[backed by the Bud Shank Quintet) released the tribute album “All Through Night”. I was unaware of the album then but in later years it would become one of my favorite [[of her 29) Julie London albums. And yes I have them all.

    Coming to think of it Diana Ross & The Supremes released "We Remember Sam Cooke" the same year [[Cooke passed two months after Porter). Now that album I was very much aware of. It was Motown and in 1965 that was pretty much all I was aware of or listened to. Good times.

    Cole Porter wrote beautiful songs.

    Cool, elegant classics, with lyrics which sometimes could be interpreted in more ways than just one.

    One of my Cole Porter favourites is 'Night And Day'....which Julie London did record, but apparently it rarely, if ever, appeared on her albums [[?).......

    "Night And Day" is also a favorite of mine - especially as sung by Eartha Kitt. I would love to hear Julie's version but it is not on anything I own and apparently has made only one appearance [[see link). If anybody out there has it, hook me up!

    Although it received a mixed reception, I enjoyed "De-Lovely", the musical biopic of Cole Porter's life.

    I thought it was a very well acted movie, especially Kevin Kline and Jonathan Pryce. Even Ashley Judd, who I don't particularly care for, was pretty good.

    I liked the film's structure, where Cole Porter's life flashes before him. After seeing the film, I bought the soundtrack.

    I saw the stage production of "Anything Goes" in London with John Barrowman starring.

    “Anything Goes” is a deceptively simple, genius of a song. It was seared into my mind when I first heard Harpers Bizarre’s version over the opening credits of “Boys In The Band”. Now it’s going to be on stuck in my head all day! “In olden days, a glimpse of stocking, was looked on as something shocking . . ."

    The Marvelettes' recording of "Don't Fence Me In" was an interesting choice of material.

    The only other Motown version of a Cole Porter song that springs to mind is Marvin & Kim's "Let's Do It [[Let's Fall In Love)".

    That's just what I was thinking. Off the top my head, I can't think of any other Cole Porter songs covered by Motown artists.

    If that TV special "Rogers & Hart Now" had been about Cole Porter instead of Rogers & Hart, we would have had "The Supremes Sing Cole Porter".

    "The Supremes Sing Rodgers and Hart" is all right, but I would have appreciated "... Sing Cole Porter" more. His wordplay is so clever.

    I heard someone say on the radio once that of all the songs they'd ever had to sing, "Every Time We Say Goodbye" was one of the most difficult to sing well.

    I love "Rogers & Hart" but your right, a Supremes Cole Porter album would have been awesome!

    God Bless Them...........that's an achievement in itself!!
    You know we could never ask HM her age when we have tea with her. That would be so
    rude!!

    Well, you could try it....she is quite accustomed to people wishing to express their opinion.
    [[there's a story of HM driving herself in an unmarked vehicle on private property many years ago, and accidentally splashing some people at a gate, while driving through a puddle. She stopped, wound down her window to apologise, just in time to hear them shout "Bastards!"...to which she smiled, said "I couldn't agree more!", wound up the window, and drove carefully on...)

    If you were to enquire about her age, HM would probably think for a minute [[with that inscrutable facial expression she does so well) and then quietly and sweetly say to you... "Ah, Ms Moe [[Superstar), I feel you will have to guess that for yourself. What I can tell you is that the tea cup, from which you drink, is rather older than I....."
