The black bow in her hair....she had it when she was a child star.....the perennial trademark.

One of my all time faves!!

[woohooboy]

She was one of those entertainers who made the successful transition from child performer to adult actress. Having a career spanning spanning more than 60 years is pretty damn impressive. Not only that, but maintaining a normal life away from the showlights is equally amazing - especially when you consider what fame does to many people.......

love this lady...

[Auntietessable]

Very interesting interview. I'll have to get Rose Marie's book. What a career Rose Marie has had. Yep, she wasn't kidding about that BIG voice she had as Baby Rose Marie. If you get a chance, watch that video too. Rose Marie was gifted with big talent, but the reason she became a big star I believe is she has that loveability factor. You know what I mean. Not every star has it. She connects with people, you just can't help to love her.

What a fascinating story. And what a wonderful person. You can tell that she is not one bit pretentious. Rose Marie is the real deal. She always has been. A one of a kind.

@Joedink1 ignorant biased morons deafen the rest of a tolerant society - get over your southern druthers and find that southern hospitality and christian values that it is renown for. besides last i checked she lived in van eyes California that is south of the mason dixon. not to mention that judging a person based on where they were born would fare worse for southerners then most others. especially with all those vertical family trees. you intelligence proves that bit.

[Joedink1]

yankees...so harsh sounding to southern ears.:)

[frymahhide1982]

She was born in 1923, just so you know.
