Do you remember "The Zoo Gang"?

Since the photo looks several decades older than I am, no, I do not “remember” whatever this is.

Is that Lilli Palmer? She wrote an interesting autobiography...and even a novel.

Uncle Bill killed himself.

Wow. Somehow I missed that.

I guess his daughter had killed herself two months before (?)

Please, r3, it’s pronounced Uncle Bee-Yul.

That woman looks somewhat looks or ScarJo.

Hmmm....she does a little bit, doesn't she?

Palmer was a very distinguished actress who never became a HUGE movie star. She was Jewish and got out of Germany just in time, met and married Rex Harrison in London, then came with him to Hollywood. She worked with Fritz Lang and Robert Rosen and some other big directors, but left for Broadway when her husband's extramarital affair with Carole Landis triggered the latter's scandalous suicide. Harrison eventually left Palmer when his mistress Kay Kendall was diagnosed with lukemia.

Palmer made a lot of foreign films afterwards, and did stage plays and occassional Hollywood appearances, but she deserved a better film career. (Oh yes, and she later married some gorgeous actor who was a decade younger.) (He killed himself 4 years after she died.)

Carole Landis, attempted homewrecker, successful suicide.

[quote]Personal life- [bold]Although references to him recorded in the diaries of Noël Coward suggest that he was bisexual,[/bold] Thompson married German-born actress Lilli Palmer shortly after her divorce from Rex Harrison in 1957. They remained married until her death in 1986.

[quote]Death -Four years after his wife's death, Thompson committed suicide in Buenos Aires by a gunshot to his head.

They were married for 30 years.

I'm glad she ended up with a hunk she enjoyed after being treated badly by the first husband, Sexy Rexy.

for some reason:-

[quote]Harrison died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Manhattan on 2 June 1990 at the age of 82. He had only been diagnosed with the disease a short time before. The stage production in which he was appearing at the time, The Circle, came to an end upon his death. He was cremated and [bold]some of his ashes were scattered in Portofino and the rest were scattered at his second wife Lilli Palmer's grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California[/bold]

I remember when it was on and called the worst show in history. Other than that, it wasn't memorable.

Jeez...did she have anything to say about this??
