Is there a celebrity DataLounge can’t say anything bad about?

***crickets***

Hillary Clinton. If you do, you'll get FFed and shunned.

True, R2.

Roxy, the Bearded Dragon.

I'm drawing a blank on two legged celebrities.

Morris the Cat.

I was thinking the same thing as R4

Dolly Parton

Jan Hooks comes closest. Amazed how kind everyone was upon her death.

Mitzi Gaynor

[R7]

Jan Hooks is a good one.

She was brilliant, and I don't hold her hostility to Victoria Jackson against her.

Dolly.

I mean, how can you not like Dolly?

Macron gets a lot of love around here.

The Duchess of Sussex. Oh, wait...

Christopher Reeve

James Gandolfini

Connie Francis

Miss Tina Turner.

The Late Peter Cushing.

He was a classy actor, reputed to be very kind, not a bad word from anybody in the press, and extremely devoted to his wife. By all accounts, he was devastated by her death and never got over her to the day he died.

Elizabeth Montgomery

Suzanne Pleshette

Cher is a bit of an Untouchable. Don't think I've really seen her badmouthed that much on DL. We make jokes about her surviving with the roaches after the Apocalypse and the fact she seems a bit "frozen" when it comes to movement, but nothing really mean.

Oh!

Duh.

VIVIAN VANCE!!!!!!

Barbara Eden

Victoria Jackson was loony tunes. Is there a person who worked with her who actually liked her?

R9, Victoria Jackson is a rabid homophobe. Jan Hooks "hostility" towards that cunt is just another reason to adore Jan Hooks.

Nope.

Linda Hunt

Vic Tayback

Deborah Harry?

Paula Prentiss.

Matt Bomer doesn't seem to even do anything so him I guess? He came out a lot earlier and closer to his career peak than most other Hollywood gays do so there goes the usual complaint.

Unless his threads are just 600 posts of bitching but I don't feel like going through them.

Kermit the Frog.

Bob Newhart

Sweetie darling! I’m here!

Angela Lansbury

I was just about to say Angela Lansbury seems to get a lot of love, except from the trolls who insist she can't sing.

Considering a lot of the unflattering press she had the latter part of her career, Mary Tyler Moore.

Angela Lansbury thinks it’s okay for actresses to put out and be used. I’m okay with old people saying shit, as they do. Shirley MacLaine is the best at it. But Angela is not cool...I don’t care how she sings!

All of the Golden Girls.

Angela L can sing to me any day thanks

Alan Rickman, James Garner and Jan Hooks as mentioned earlier all well praised here when they died.

There are anti-Golden Girls posts and threads on DL. And, bitching about Bea hating Betty. And, even some bitching about Betty being a bit "too good to be true".

I was going to mention the Bea Arthur thing, but then I saw Alan Rickman. I love Alan Rickman!

Doris Day

Gay Icon, Abe Vigoda

Fred Macmurray

Joey Stefano. Paul Newman. Vanna White. Zac Efron. Jimmy Steward. Marlene Dietrich. Jo Anne Worley.

Jimmy Stewart

Sigourney Weaver

Margaret Hamilton and Billie Burke. Faye Wray. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Moi. Merci!

Gregory Peck...the sexiest man ever ( in my eyes )!

Sally Field

Jimmy Stewart was a HUGE right wing dickbag! - quite the opposite of all his “Mr Smith goes...” persona!

Big Reagan ass kissing backer during AIDS crisis.

Lisa Kudrow.

Love James Garner. Big time liberal.

Jeff Bridges

There was a Johnny Mathis thread that had really no negative comments. And a Petula Clark thread that was mostly praising her. Doris Day threads are just about all positive too.

Come vishit me in Cabaret!

Scratch Dolly off that list. She's a lying, closeted beast who did not buy me the red Mercedes. Black Mercedes, my ass.

My parents loved Johnny Mathis, that’s really all I know about him. So many albums. Big truth spill about Jimmy Stewart. What an actor!!🤥

Arlene Francis

I read quite a few times that Lisa Kudrow is a bitch on set.

Jimmy Carter, apparently.

Gene Wilder

Yes, Arlene Francis... above and beyond criticism. The flower pot incident just adds to her allure.

Ed Asner. Long time liberal.

If you're on Twitter, he's worth a follow.

Dolly Parton always wins this category.

Cicely Tyson

Carol O’Connor

Dina Merrill. Brooke Astor.

Queen Elizabeth. Maybe some Brits who hate the royals might but I hardly every hear snark from anyone.

John Astin

Keith Richards

Cassandra Peterson. Vincent Price. Bugs Bunny.

Totie Fields, Moms Mabley, Phyllis Diller, LaWanda Page, Jimmie Dynamite Walker

The lovely and talented Lee Remick.

Phil Hartman

John Candy

Raul Julia

All left us too soon

Darfur Orphan

Traditionally classy, beautiful actresses of a certain era get a lot of love here. Lee Remick, Elizabeth Montgomery, Dina Merrill, etc.

And of course Miss Patty Duke was in a category of her own the DL. Much loved.

Jane Goodall Madelyn Kahn

Jerry Orbach

Mother Teresa

Sandy Duncan

Fred Rogers

[quote]Jan Hooks is a good one. She was brilliant, and I don't hold her hostility to Victoria Jackson against her.

Against her? Oh, sweetie...

Penny Marshall

My parents love Johnny Mathis too. Apparently listening to him was subversive in the 1950s, if you were white.

Carol Burnett, a drop of golden sun.

Julia Louis Dreyfus

Donna Reed

Me, of course!

Mark Ruffalo

Almost everyone has their naysayers.

But I've either started or participated in some classic DL threads (over the years) that went ON forever about fabulous ballsy women largely forgotten by the masses: Suzanne Pleshette, Lee Remick, Jill Clayburgh, Liz Montgomery (goddess!), Angie Dickenson , Phoebe Cates (notably, a few years back), Joan Hackett, so many others--and overwhelmingly, there was great affection and respect shared for these funny, talented, beautiful if imperfect women.

It warms my heart. Example? Joan Hackett was a smart, talented, lovely, but troubled and very private person. She died in 1983-she was only 49. She'd probably be thrilled that a handful of gays even knew who she was, much less had assembled a highly debated catalogue raisonee of her work.

Pointless bitchery + culture love + brains? It's why I come back here at all.

PS: that is tiny Suzanne, a fabulous broad if ever there was one, turning the shit out....

Julianne Moore, seriously.

Tiny (and fabulous) Suzanne used to love to get spanked.

Brooke Astor- really? Ever read a bio of her. She’s an interesting and accomplished courtesan, but a courtesan none the less.

I will hear no criticism of the Queen.

Dylan Geick

Julia Child

Burt Lancaster

Yul Brynner

Tab Hunter

The Roman Emperor Hadrian

Abe Lincoln

Diana Ross

Jerry Herman

Olivia Newton John

Barry Manilow

I can't remember whether we liked Shirley Jones or not.

Judy Garland

What about me, you cocksuckers?

Harvey Milk

Jerry Herman - Hate his guts. So off this list he goes.

Sandra Lee

Fred Rogers

Barry Manilow is disgusting. All those years in the closet and he comes out at 80? Fuck him and his lousy music.

R103 Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Linda Gray.

Pazuzu

Topo Gigio

R114, keesa me eddie

Dame Maggie Smith of Gosford Abbey

Jessica Lange

Tough question. DLers have called JonBenét Ramsey a dirty whore.

Are you serious? That makes me sick to my stomach. Where’s that fucking asteroid that’s supposed to destroy us all?

I remember reading a thread on here that was surprisingly favorable towards Gene Hackman.

John Ritter

Patty Duke. Jerry Orbach Julia Louis Dreyfus. Betty White Gilda Radner

Definitely Patty Duke ❤️

Patty was crazy and a whore, darlin'. She didn't even know who her kid's father was.

R124 All points in her favor here.

Anne Meara usually fares well.

Patti Deutsch

Helen Lawson

Lillian Gish

I don't understand the DL love for Julia Louis Dreyfus.

Paul Lynde

Marlo Thomas. Oh wait, she calls everyone a fucker.

Liv Ullmann Joanna Lumley Robert Bresson Jonny Greenwood Kate Islett, Sarah Alexander, Jack Davenport Olivia Colman Claude Rains Sylvia McNair Thomas Merton Dag Hammarskjold Peter Dinklage

Kate Isitt* [R133]

No, R133.

Moi.

Angela Bassett

Kathy Bates

After AHS Covenant They became untouchable, deservedly so.

Judi Dench, Dawn French, Richard Attenborough, Princess Mary of Denmark, Jennifer Saunders,

Based on The Nanny thread, Fran Drescher.

No, now you're just naming people whom a lot of Dataloungers like pretty well.

These are not the Datalounge Sacred Cows (who deserve a better name).

Mrs Doubtfire

Steve Reeves

Sal Mineo

Christopher Atkins

Keanu

Sissy Spacek

Tammy Wynette

The librarian in the Well I Never in All My Life! video.

Emmylou Harris

Jimmy Stewart

Mickey Mouse

Jimmy Stewart was a ginormous right wing dirtbag! He barnstormed for Reagan from coast to coast when Reagan was trying to kill all AIDS funding!

A REAL BASTARD if there ever was one!!

r138 Jennifer Saunders hunts foxes, so off the list she goes.

I think Joanna Lumley, Kathy Bates, Dolly Parton, Judy Garland, Sylvia Miles, Rue Mcclanahan, and Lens Dunham of course.

Who’s the most loved of all the Golden Girls? Bea?

No celebrity is immune within the DL cauldron.

Judy Garland -- A DL icon. Barbra Streisand -- Not A DL icon and subject to criticism.

Dolly Parton, Kathy Bates and the late Jan Hooks are the only people I can think of who I've never read a single negative comment about on DL.

After Jan Hooks' untimely death, we had two or three very lengthy threads about her, and DLers were unanimously in agreement about how talented she was and how much they loved her work. Literally, not a single negative or snarky comment in any of those long threads.

Carol Channing.

never read a bad word about Jo Anne Pflug

[quote]She'd probably be thrilled that a handful of gays even knew who she was, much less had assembled a highly debated catalogue raisonee of her work.

I wrote this in another thread, but the classic Hollywood threads are always very "civilized," so to speak because the fraus, trolls and stans never bother with them. When a thread is exclusively gay men, it's always wonderful and very informative.

I thought this thread was about people that can't be criticised anymore, because the thread get closed.

In that case.

[quote]Dylan Geick

Sally Field

Last year after she died, there was a lengthy thread about Florence Henderson that had nothing but praise for her. I felt like I was witnessing the birth of a new DL Icon.

Also—maybe—Ann-Margret.

Thank you R104, that lovely man is so brilliant I had to stop my world and watch all 3 parts of his marvelous show. (and here's Part 2 to your Part 1 *clink*)

I would say Carol Burnett, but there's that one troll who barges in on any thread about her to scream about what a homewrecker she was (her second husband Joe Hamilton left his family to marry her). Granted, it isn't a nice story, but it happened like 55 years ago, and CB and Hamilton split 35 years ago, so you'd think there wouldn't be anybody around who's still incensed about it.

But you'd be wrong.

Mindy Cohn

I can’t believe no one has added this name to this thread, after such a popular thread has been developing

We forgot Jonathan Harris, DL's Patron Saint.

Oh the pain, the pain.

Ruth Buzzi and Joanne Worley.

Shirley Hemphill

Bonnie Franklin.

Charles Nelson Reilly.

The Bonnie Franklin and Linda Lavin threads are DL gold.

Kirsten Dunst and Vanessa williams had very positive threads devoted to them

Kirsten Dunst is the kind of sad, drunken, cock-hungry mess that appeals to many DLers.

R165, Carol has had a few not so nice incidents. Abandoning Fade Out/Fade In and citing a personal injury as the reason. She shunned Lyle Waggoner for a while after he left her variety show. She also would not speak to Vicki Lawrence for a while when she hooked up with Joe Hamilton to produce "Mama's Family".

Isn’t Carol a mean, sloppy drunk?

Reese Witheredcunt

Those few Audrey Hepburn stans we have try to make her appear faultless at various threads. They get crumbled by well-documented facts like every single time.

I dislike Liv Ullmann and I'm vocal about it.

Carol annoys the fuck out of me and sometimes she creeps me out.

Regarding younger celebrities, I'm throwing Jason Mraz into the ring.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a bad word about George Michael. I guess that’s one reason he can be glad he’s dead.

Sade?

Shirley Booth

Chita!

Another vote for Johnny Mathis. How could anyone not love him, and his immense contribution to American music? I'm including a link, so DL can nominate him for a Kennedy Center Award. He's very much overdue for one.

[quote]and Lens Dunham of course.

When have we ever NOT criticised Lens?

Paul Newman

A political celebrity -- RBG.

Hoda?

DataLounge loves Miss Peanut.

If we're talking humans, Alan Rickman and Jan Hooks, for sure.

Andrea Martin

Tilda Swinton.

I can’t stand Hoda

Greer Garson

Jan Hooks’ cuntery toward noted homophobe Victoria Jackson elevates her to sainthood in my book.

Never heard a bad word about Jean Smart.

R189 I’ve seen some shit posted on Newman on here - he was an alcoholic, lavender marriage, etc. I adore him so I always noticed negative posts on him here.

Bump!

Eli Wallach?

Joey Mills - all his threads get shut and removed.

R2 As well you should.

Lupita

R1999 lavender marriage

It's not a lie

Nicole Kidman..........just joking

[quote]I dislike Liv Ullmann and I'm vocal about it.

Could have been written by anyone who saw "Lost Horizon."

Try and find something detracting to say about James Marsden, fellas.

You can’t, can ya?

Sondheim.

[quote]Try and find something detracting to say about James Marsden, fellas. You can’t, can ya?

He is...too beautiful.

R210, Didn't he impregnate a fling while still married?

Obamas

Robyn

R211 well, I’m a little hurt. He refused to put out like that for ME, and I was offering him Mega Shit. But, que sera. I ended up giving my lucrative franchise deal to Hugh J. instead so it all worked out fine for me.

R124 it all happened before she was diagnosed as manic-depressive otherwise known as bipolar. I think I would give her a pass

Maybe not a typical celebrity, but have you ever heard an unkind word about Sir David Attenborough? Some of the best television viewing of my (long) life has been spent in his company.

R216 There has actually been a thread attacking Sir David Attenborough and it's still up.

Nicole Flopman

R164

Claude Rains

What about me, you fuckers!

James Garner

Karen Ziemba, her banjo and tiny titties
