I read it too, Jenni, and was sad, too. She was my favourite 'golden' girl.

She was my favourite from Golden Girls too, Ella. I've been trying to think why, because all the others were so great too. But I always came to like Dorothy the best. Maybe it's got something to do with natural charism and the mixture of sarcasm and warmth her character had. Whatever it is, she definitely brought joy to so many people over the years that that alone is a great legacy to leave for future generations. And Golden Girls is such a wonderful show...it's the best medicine if you're every having a bad day.

I felt so sad when I heard that Bea Arthur died...I had no idea she was almost 87 yrs. old. I remember seeing her years ago in "Maude", and then, of course, in Golden Girls. She will always be a beloved memory of my TV show past...

I know what you mean, Amber. Golden Girls sort of feels so timeless that I keep forgetting it was not exactly made yesterday. I've just started with season 4 and they just keep getting better and better. They don't make shows like this anymore.

Can't remember if there were many (or any) fans of Emma Thompson here. But after seeing Last Chance Harvey, I've really been in one of my Emma-Thompson-is-one-of-the-best-things-that-came-out-of-Britain moods again. Anyway, if people who like her haven't seen this David Letterman interview yet, you certainly should. It's guaranteed to make you laugh a lot, and well, her entrance has to be one of the best ones ever to a talk show. (On a sidenote, apparently some woman had claimed that a fox attacked her and she had to fight with it...some really weird story this woman kept telling in different talk shows. Edit: aha...here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZfsAykwyS4&feature=fvw Before Emma's turn came up, someone gave her that fox toy..you'll see. haha ).

To have such a nice general British accent...or even half of her wit and hilariousness.

Thanks for posting this Jen, I like Emma Thompson very much. Specially those films with Kenneth Brannagh too, you know how crazy I am about screen couples.

Hey, about Emma Thompson, I just discovered the series in which she met Kenneth Brannagh and fell in love, the whole series is on youtube. I had always heard about a series they had made together and I thought it was a British soap opera, but it isn't it's about the war and it's called Fortunes of War and here you are, the first part. I strongly recommend it, it's about WWII and two British expatriates in Rumania:

They also appeared together in the series starred by Emma called Thompson, here you've got a clip too.

Thank you for the links, Gemma! I will watch them as soon as possible. I had heard about that series, so I'm looking forward to watching it very much.

There are so more but can't think of any at the moment..now for the men..

Ummm ... I'm afraid this doesn't go for me. I love Jane Seymour as Dr. Quinn of course, I appreciate her as an actress very much, but I wouldn't say that she is one of my favourite actresses, and she doesn't have to be. For example, I also absolutely adore William Shatner as Denny Crane in Boston Legal but he is definitely not on my list of favourite actors.

I was just giving everyone a bad time I understand though

I guess I really like her so much because I loved her work in SIT, Battlestar Galactica, James Bond (Live and Let Die) and of course DQ but I still plan to watch more of her movies too I just love her charisma and acting abilities..I've seen her on tv as herself and I just love her attitude...but that's just me

Oh, Alex, you are certainly not alone, I know that many people, very likely most of the people here in the forum, totally share your opinion. I think that Jane Seymour has the biggest fan ever in Anne. I also know that Lynn is a huge fan and others probably too.
But for me just goes: she has a place in my heart for being Dr. Quinn.

I agree with Ella. I love Jane Seymour and Michaela Quinn but yes, I can't say she is my favourite actress. Besides (I can see tomatoes coming) IMHO I don't see DQMW as a show about Michaela Quinn only but more a choral show or a Colorado Spring show. As much as I never saw Star Trek as a "Captain Kirk" show.

Currently one of the best tv show actors around is Michael Emerson (MveryHO) as Ben Linus but my big star will always be Robin Williams. He makes my weep and laugh at the same time like no others.

That's okay, Ella and Simona. No tomatoes ... unless you need them for making a delicious salad.
I'm glad you still like her though.

What I cannot understand (and what really bugged me on the "other" forum) when someone claimed to be a Dr. Quinn fan and said she doesn't like Jane. You can imagine that I was NOT happy. And the same person asked me (no, she inquired to know) why I wasn't interested in watching "Cold Mountain" right away (I just don't like neither Nicole Kidman nor Renee Zellweger enough). Still haven't seen it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (or like my big sis said "Schwachstromlecker") is not an actor in my eyes. He started out as a pumped-up idiot who got a movie part some thirty years ago, but playing Conan or the likes doesn't require any acting talents. He isn't even the smartest cookie in the jar. He just happens to be married to a Kennedy; that's all.

Please don't hit me, Alex, LOL. I DID enjoy a couple of his movies, but I still don't see him as an actor.

Of course I like Jane, not only she is a good actress but she is so beautiful and graceful.
And then I always try not to mix how I feel about a character and how I feel about the actor who plays it. I may not like the character but the actor is great and the way around. I WAS crazy about a Star Trek character and then I met the actor.. to say the least.
