Shelley Winters

Is she related to George Clooney?? I can't remember?

Are you thinking of Rosemary Clooney, niddlemiddle? Her biography doesn't say a word about George Clooney.

She died? DAMN! I loved her. Nana Mary rocked.

She's also hilarious as the mother in Lolita. There aren't too many of her glamour girl movies around.... I would love to see them.

In her honor for the rest of the day, I will respond to every preposterous claim with "Yeah, right! My achin' butt!"

I thought she was already dead. Oh well...RIP.

On the 6 July, 1972 episode of "Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson", she grew tired of Oliver Reed's attitude towards women. They had a heated conversation and after Shelley told Reed what she thought of his opinions, left the set. The show continued with Oliver Reed still going on about women while Johnny Carson looked at him in a daze. Shortly afterwards, Winters appeared from Stage left, unannounced to Reed and to the shock of Carson. She was carrying a champagne bucket of ice and water with which she surprised Reed by dumping it over his head. Reed was furious over this and tried to attack her but set personal intervened. The show broke for commercial break. When the show resumed both actors were gone.

That's why you gotta love the old-timers. Who would have the balls to do something like that these days.
Loved her movies, I'm gonna miss Nana Mary.
RIP

She was in a small indie called "Heavy". She played the mother of a hefty guy who made the pizzas at their restaurant. Her son say's "I'm fat, Ma." Her response, " You are not fat, you are not. Honey, you're husky, you're... you're well-built, you're macho! "

It seems silly, but it's the first thing I think of when I think of her.
