Their own enjoyment of fame was fleeting even though they left footprints in the sand. Remembering with sadness.

Great talents — two especially gone too soon.

Great stars but each was damaged by their stardom either by drugs, suicide or alcohol.

Exactly — gone too soon. Flamed out, so to speak.

Okay, my friend. We are having an “aha” moment. Yesterday, I had all 3 of this people on my mind. I’ve been playing the Frank Sinatra channel in my car – and explaining to my 15 year old son – who Judy Garland was…
It came out in our conversation, he’s never watched, The Wizard of Oz. Well, I felt like a horrid mom. So, this Thanksgiving – I’m forcing him to watch flying monkeys 😉
Fun piece!
Happy Wednesday!

Aha!!! I’ve said since we first “met”…sympatico in many ways…happy Wednesday indeed!
PS: will be interesting to see your son’s reaction to a first-time viewing. Hope you’ll have the version in black and white till she lands in Oz 🙂
