Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-28-2003 12:15 AM                     Another movie great has left us. Form my money, Donald was far superior to Mr. Kelly in Singing in the Rain in all respects. I swear....God must be "putting on a show" and needed yet more talent this year!

It's kinda sad for me 'cause so many of those who have passed recently are from my generation. (I'm in good health and don't anticipate joining them very soon but thanks for asking. lol) Donald also did a fun series of "Francis The Talking Mule" movies.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-30-2003 02:17 AM                        Every time I've seen or run "Singin' in the Rain", O'Connor's "Make 'Em Laugh" segment has gotten applause. Even if nothing else in the show got applause from that audience.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-10-2003 08:50 PM                       This announcement I missed. Sorry to hear of his passing. Indeed, he carried just as much of that picture as Kelly.  |  IP: Logged
