So… I was browsing, looking for some photos of Roz I perhaps hadn’t seen before… and I found some I really like 🙂 

Thought I’d share some of them on here… Just so you all know, I love any photo of her with her husband/family. Love!

"Mrs. Pollifax–Spy" (1971)

Ah… I am so glad they are playing this film because I have only seen it on YouTube and am very glad to finally see it on the TV. It was Rosalind’s last feature film. She was feeling the signs of her rheumatoid arthritis during the shooting of this film, and this is a disease that would plague her the last 5 years of her life (along with cancer, which she had been fighting for many years already). If you are able to catch this on TCM, I hope you enjoy it! I did.

"Gypsy" (1962)

Okay… I have to admit, this is my SECOND favorite Rosalind Russell movie (behind “Auntie Mame,” of course) because I love the way Roz interprets this character and although she may have had limited vocal abilities (although I do love the way they mixed the voices in the songs)… she was a marvelous actress and I love the great job she did in this film. I’m surprised she didn’t get nominated for an Oscar, although she did win the Golden Globe!

Read about Gypsy here. 

“Gypsy” will be playing on TCM on October 28.

  
Sorry about the watermark, but I love this photo with the cake!
