Horrible women she was..

What happen she die?

Yes, she had stroke I hear and died in her sleep. It's a.m. here and I am just tuning in.



TIS

She was only 87 from recent pictures and how long ago she was pm i honestly thought she was nearing 100.

Actually so did I. Thought she'd be high 90s.




TIS

I never personally cared for her as PM.

I've never met a Brit who didn't share this opinion.

Well, say what you will, she called them like she saw them, right, wrong or otherwise.

I hope so.

Because THAT would be a tremendous loss. Just saying .

Yeah but THAT was an awful movie. Maybe Meryl's worst. Yes, worse than Mamma Mia. Way worse.

I dunno, DT. Do you remember the flick she made with Roseanne Barr back in the '80s? That was pretty bad, too.

But I agree, "Iron Lady" was pretty bad. But she did take home the Oscar for it. Give her that much.

Meryl Streep made a flick with Roseanne Barr? I have no memory of it, thank God. Maybe it is a form of PTSD. And while we're at it that abomination she made with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin was nothing more than her collecting a paycheck.

But back to the topic, I remember being in the UK a couple of times during the Thatcher years, and while she was controversial, it is also fair to say when she took over the country was paralyzed by strikes, and overall "malaise" to use a term associated with a far weaker Western leader of the era. For all her harshness, she probably saved the UK from becoming a third world country.

The satire magazine "Private Eye" ran a brilliant satire every week which was a fictional diary of Denis Thatcher, her husband.

I'm not much on blondes, however she was striking in Deer Hunter! Absolutely beautiful

Annette Funicello died. Best known as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club and star of many early '60s teen movies, she died at age 70.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear it. Though not unexpected, she certainly was famous in her day. RIP



TIS

Wow. My first big time crush.

Aw, so sad. She had such a poor quality of life for so many years, yet she remained upbeat about it from what I've read. God bless her.

The Yahoo story said she had been in a coma for years ((I didn't know that). The family chose to take her off life support.

I was about 7/8 during Mickey Mouse Club and she was obviously the most famous Musketeer. As a matter of fact, her first name was very popular. One of my 2nd cousins had her named legally changed to Annette. Well, her actual birth name was "Illuminata" and she just didn't like it. Annette was so popular during that time, it inspired her new first name.

I use to go see all those lame Beach Party movies too, back in the day. Was fun then tho.

TIS

Hmmm, I didn't know that, either. If true, I guess you won't get credit for it -- but I have yet to confirm the coma. Even wiki doesn't mention it.

In fact, I don't see it mentioned in the Yahoo article either.

RIP to both of them ladies.

Geoff, I went back to copy/paste and I don't see it now either. I KNOW I didn't just make it up. Either, it wasn't the Yahoo article OR is it possible they edited it? I double checked before I mentioned it here. Hmmmmmmm Don't think I'm that wacko.....but who knows.

EDIT. From another article....5th paragraph down.

Why did so many in Britain hate Margaret thatcher? Im curious to know

I know she had MS for years, but hear no reports about her being in coma. I think her husband let cameras in there home two years ago, but not positive on the date. She might have been in a coma for a month or less, but highly doubt years.

Here's an article I found (as I posted to edit above) 5th paragraph. I hadn't heard it either, before today.

The BBC are already airing a doc on Thatcher right now

Honestly, I have no clue on what a MS coma is. I have looked up MS for years, but never heard of that. I think that because the MS has progressed so bad in her that she couldn't communicate anymore. I also read that her eyes were responsive and knew what was going on.

It kind of makes sense because if she was in a regular coma, her family would have let her die years ago. She is tough and I hope she will will be remembered for that. RIP

I agree with BAM -- according to Extra, "she lost the ability to walk in 2004 and to speak in 2009." I guess that's an "MS Coma" but for our purposes, I won't count it as a coma unless I hear something definitive.

Me too. She was the epitomy of decency despite sexually snied remarks made about her when she was Mickey Mouse Club member.

It was that Cubby who started those rumors, wasn't it?
