Ellen Albertini Dow passed away yesterday at the age of 101 according to Deadline. While most actors start working before they are old enough to drink, she waited until she was in her 70’s to begin her career. Even though she started later in life, she still had a career that most actors dream of having.
Ellen did several guest starring roles on television, including three different characters on The Golden Girls before Adam Sandler cast her in The Wedding Singer. In 1994, she became known as the rapping grandmother, but roles in movies like 54 and Wedding Crashers proved she was so much more than that.
If you look at her IMDB page, you will see she barely stopped working from the moment she started. She worked up until she was almost 3 digits, and there aren’t that many professions that allow you to do that or more importantly make you want to work until you are almost 100.
So today, watch one of her many many roles and let them bring a smile to your face because that was her specialty. Let’s keep her vibrant spirit alive.
I said a hip hop, Hippie to the hippie, The hip, hip a hop, and you don’t stop, a rock it!
Arnold Schwarzenegger was on The Late Late Show yesterday and James Corden had the action hero act out a lot of his movies with him in 6 minutes. I forgot how many movies Arnuld did, and that he did the same acting in all of them. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t enjoyable, or at least they seemed that way after watching this.
When it comes to movies they did, all I will say is True Lies got them in trouble and that is the bloody truth. So sit back but not like Governator, and enjoy it like the Governator. That will all make sense when you hit play.
Before Stana Katic was a homicide detective in Castle, she was a stewardess on Alias. She looks the same now as she did when she was 25 in that 2004 episode.
Tonight was the annual Met Gala and Beyonce and Kim Kardashian showed up wearing similar dresses. When it comes to whose dress was better, hands down it was Beyonce. The singer has a much better body to wear a see-thru gown like that. Which is probably why she showed a lot more skin than Kanye West’s wife.
When it comes to the dresses, I think both suck. You are moms, class up your acts and dress like one. Plus, the only people who wear outfits like that are screaming for attention, and I didn’t think Beyonce was that desperate. Kim we know is, but Bey?
Finally, is it just me or ever since they let Kim Kardashian in, the Met Gala isn’t as classy as it used to be?
