I didn't use it, because I wanted something from her own era, but it's nice to know she has fans among the postpunk crowd.<br /><br />Williams was married to Fernando Lamas. Lorenzo Lamas was her stepson. In the 1980s, Esther and Lorenzo appeared on FALCON CREST together, so they apparently got along. No wicked stepmother she.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-11946657192934171452013-06-20T18:23:08.810-07:002013-06-20T18:23:08.810-07:00She was a babe, all the way to the end.

I have no knowledge of her life, or what it was like to be her, all I have is that she was an icon, and deservedly so, all the way to the end.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938379025774754317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-3382238384221911092013-06-17T07:49:34.259-07:002013-06-17T07:49:34.259-07:00I can't say I ever saw THE UNGUARDED MOMENT, p...I can't say I ever saw THE UNGUARDED MOMENT, parsnip. I just now looked it up on the Internet, and was surprised to see the screenplay was written by Rosalind Russell under a pseudonym. I skimmed through the user reviews on the IMDb, and see that Williams mostly gets good reviews for her performance. I think one person said she showed promise, which obviously went unfulfilled since this was her last film. However, until I see this movie myself--and I would like to--I'm going to have to stick to my view that, as a straight land-bound actress, Williams was no more than adequate, but I could always change my mind.<br /><br />"I realized then and there I wanted that. And even now ever so often I think of that movie."<br /><br />That line of yours, parsnip, reminds me just how subjective art and/or entertainment really is. A movie--whether it's lauded as a classic or not--can mean different things to diffrent people. You obviously were affected by this one. Hope you got that cute little home.<br /> <br /><br /> Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-67958442908136963822013-06-16T14:17:33.028-07:002013-06-16T14:17:33.028-07:00I remember many of these movie, great fun.

What a dream.<br />I realized then and there I wanted that. And even now ever so often I think of that movie.<br />How funny.<br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br /><br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.com
