I'm not sure, but I think she was working with the French Resistance as a spy at the time of German occupation.
Unbeknownst to many, she did lead quite an adventurous life. And she managed to leak some of that adventurous feeling out in her shows through that clever glint in the eye or the way she smiled and spoke. I think that is one thing that made her shows really special, even as she grew older and started competing with the younger, more nimble celebrity chefs.
Plus she was the first person who would be constantly burning or screwing things up horribly on television, but it was ok!!!
Ahh~ all good things must come to an end...

With all the fat laden cholesterol filled belt busting dishes she prepared and ate, I would never have thought she would live to be 90. She has to have super longevity genes running in her family.

The cholesterol was probably neutralized by the all the red wine she drank in unison with her meals...
It was reported a ways back that the French, despite their high consumption of red meat, had a lower incidence of heart disease than the U.S., thanks in part to the large amount of red wine (lotsa antioxidants) that they drank...

I was shocked to hear this on the news this morning.
Very unfortunate. A great loss.
btw, I had no idea he was 82. I always thought him to be a bit younger than that. _________________

I fell out of my chair laughing at his film Back to School.
He stole the show in Caddyshack.
Here's his profile:

Rest in peace, Rodney, you made me laugh.

who'd a thunk the top 2 stars of the "classic" movie, Ladybugs, dying in consecutive yrs?
Jonathan Brandis dies of possible suicide
At least I would have thought Rodney would go before Brandis.

Never thought about that until you mentioned it, Niko.
Pretty freaky coincidence. _________________

"Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science."
RIP Superman. |
Wow..... *stumbles backward, stunned*
I just heard that ex-baseball player Ken Caminitti died of a heart attack at age 41... Maybe due to the fact he took steroids during his playing years...
