And they said Ronnie was dumb!

Apparently, people are still interested in this woman. You know, she reminds me of all those young women the studio would take under contract, and you would just think to yourself, you can break her jaw, you can give her posture lessons, you can shove pills down her throat until she's as skinny as an inch worm. . . . she's still just a dumb girl from Osh-Kosh trying to scrub the farm dirt out from between her legs!

Angela in Blithe Spirit

My dear friend Angela Lansbury, who we nicknamed "Old Hag" back in our studio days, won the Tony Award for best supporting actress for her role in Blithe Spirit. I couldn't be happier for her! It's always gratifying to see people who didn't have the opportunity to be first ladies still manage to make something out of themselves!

Blithe Spirit makes me think of Noel Coward. I went on several dates with him, but then I realized he was madly homosexual. You can't make a silk purse out of a silk ascot!

Still Auditioning!

Look at this: three young men won the Tony award for best actor, all of them sharing the role in that movie turned musical about gay boy from Scotland who dances. My goodness, can you imagine if Elizabeth Taylor had to share an award with Lauren Bacall and Debbie Reynolds! Of course, they're all so fat now, maybe they would be happy just to have someone love them.

I still read all the new scripts that are being considered for Broadway, hoping there will be a role for me so I can finally win my Tony. Unfortunately, I don't play hookers or exotic dancers, so it's really slim pickings!

I'm awake now!

You may have seen me in some of the recent news reels, visiting the White House and having lunch with Michelle Obama, and maybe you wondered, why hasn't Nancy been blogging?!?

Well, the truth is, in order to get ready for a big public appearance like that, I have to do several months of Sweedish sleep therapy, which is nearly as restful and restorative as some of the comas I have had!

But now I'm awake!

Isn't that Michelle Obama something? She's exactly like me but black and physically imposing!

Peggy Noonan was also there! She used to hide behind the pillars the White House when she heard me coming! I liked that Peggy!

Richardson Drops Out of Cabinet

Never trusted this one. Reminded me too much of Desi Arnaz.

One of My Angels!

Dinner tonight with John Tesh, one of the few nice young men left in Hollywood. I once had a lunch date with Orlando Bloom. I see the attraction, but by the end I was so bored I had to pretend to have a stroke just to put an end to it!

Resolutions for 2009

Well, of course there's always my standard resolution: lose some weight, Nancy!  God, I saw Debbie Reynolds at the Jazz club last night, and I tell you, I just never want to let myself go like that. 

Seeing Debbie inspired me to resolve also to try and do more for my old movie friends.  Of course, most Hollywood people don't end up going to the White House, and now you can hardly walk into a cockroach infested nursing home in South Los Angeles without tripping over someone you knew from the studios.  So, I'm going to do something, like deliver a few fruit baskets, or send someone around with a pekinese to lick their noses.  Old people like that sort of thing.
