RIP Dolores.
Good night, Dolores. I’ll wear my cashmere pullover at half mast.
For some reason I thoght she was already dead (no disrespect intended.)
Aw.
Always seemed like a nice lady.
Was candid but kind when she spoke about Ed. Even when she wasn’t happy that Sarah Jessica Parker didn’t bother to talk to her before “Ed Wood” and she clearly didn’t like how Parker played her…she was still nice about it.
Read something about she would bring the angora sweater she hands to Ed in “Glen or Glenda” to convention appearances and let people be photographed with it.
RIP :weep:
Good God, what a dolt I am. I knew cashmere didn’t seem right when I typed it.
Sorry to hear this.Didn’t like the way Sarah Jessica Parker described her in an interview years ago.She was more than that.Seemed like a classy lady.
Cashmere?! PAH! Mere goat’s hair is far too rough for Ed’s delicate skin. Only the softest bunny rabbit fur will do.
As Kathy noted above, Ms Fuller always treated the subject of Eddie with honesty and aplomb. :-(
Time to watch Ed Wood. Great movie.
I have read about how she and Ed would spend holidays with Bela just before he passed on. Very classy and will be missed.
@Mark
Don’t feel bad. I didn’t even know she existed. I think I’ll watch “The Sinister Urge” tonight before Mythbusters.
Another twinkling star in the MST3K constellation dims for the final time. Goodbye Dolores, you live on in our hearts.
There is a fairly long obit in the Los Angeles Times this morning on Ms. Fuller (1923-2011).
RIP Dolores.
“Even when she wasn’t happy that Sarah Jessica Parker didn’t bother to talk to her before “Ed Wood” and she clearly didn’t like how Parker played her…she was still nice about it.”
And my respect for Tim Burton’s Ed Wood takes another hit. The more I learn about the film, the less I like it.
Aw geez.
I will watch Jailbait (her meatiest lead role in an Ed Wood movie) in her honor.
I wonder who else will have to die to get Burton’s Ed Wood on Blu Ray? Burton himself?!
RIP. I always liked the original “handing over the sweater” scene since first seeing it in IT CAME FROM HOLLYWOOD. Now there’s another I”d like to see again.
R.I.P. Deloris,
They don’t make ’em like Glen or Glenda anymore.
Sorry, should spell her name right.
R.I.P. Delores.
She may have taken some odd detours, but I’d be happy if I had a rap sheet as long as hers at the end of my life. She used her time on Earth well, and that’s one of the highest compliments you can pay anybody.
RIP
I understand she was a double for Dinah Shore on the Chevy Show. What exactly does a stand-in do on a variety show? I guess fills in during the lighting set up? Anyway, apparently they found out about her second career with Ed Wood and she got fired!
Well, I gave in and bought Ed Wood on DVD online. After seeing most of his movies, and loving them I figure its time to see it.
When the movie originally came out my best friend saw it and told me not to waste my time, she hated it. And I never got around to watching it later.
Of course one of my friend’s favorite movies was Howard The Duck. Seriously. She loved it.
