They either loved her or hated her. My second-favorite film of hers is "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane."<br /><br />Janet, I noticed there are no longer any big planters on the balcony at Houmas House. Don't know if anybody ever pushed one off, but I imagine the temptation would be there if planters were present.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-47190144009634966452010-07-26T08:02:38.675-05:002010-07-26T08:02:38.675-05:00Oh yes, I love that movie too!

I wonder if anyone's tempted to push that planter off the balcony, like Bette did in the movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-58584221344187281552010-07-25T19:52:35.825-05:002010-07-25T19:52:35.825-05:00I love this movie!

For years, everytime I thought of southern US, that plantation floated through my mind. <br /><br />Thank you for the amazing photos and for the video, which gives such haunting images of the movie!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-9182071953098465652010-07-25T08:50:29.517-05:002010-07-25T08:50:29.517-05:00Oh I had forgotten this...I will have to rent it s...Oh I had forgotten this...I will have to rent it somewhere...Thank you for a rememberanceSister--Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376197705851886291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-71898970055742449432010-07-24T19:32:35.909-05:002010-07-24T19:32:35.909-05:00Velvet, I am in tears reading the news of Tezcuco....Velvet, I am in tears reading the news of Tezcuco... It will forever be one of those magical places in my memory! My cousin and I had some wonderful times there. Then one Christmas, she got the bright idea to bring her mother in law...which was fine... and my mom should come along to keep the other lady company. Mom complained the entire night and made everyone miserable. We never went back. <br /><br />I am so sad so a wonderful peaceful place burned.CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-26435911536571751592010-07-24T17:58:46.214-05:002010-07-24T17:58:46.214-05:00Patsy, I don't think the walker helps heal art...Patsy, I don't think the walker helps heal arthritic knees, but it helps keep some of the pressure off of them when I need to move around. My right knee has stiffened into a slightly bent position, which makes that leg a little shorter than the other, and it really, really hurts to put my body weight on it when the arthritis flares up. I do know that exercising the joints helps keep them from stiffening so much. No, the doctor didn't say to use a walker; it's just a temporary solution for especially bad flare-ups.<br /><br />I know it's difficult to sleep when your legs hurt, so I can sympathize there. I find that rubbing Aspercreme on the achy parts of my knees at bedtime seems to provide a little relief.<br /><br />Hope you'll feel better soon.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-78927960381582765092010-07-24T17:17:31.733-05:002010-07-24T17:17:31.733-05:00velvet, my knees have hurt me so bad for 3 months,...velvet, my knees have hurt me so bad for 3 months, did a doctor tell you to use the walker? if so do you think it would help heal your knees. mine, I think is probably arthritic at least i think so.<br />I sleep on my left side but not now the only way I can get relieve to sleep is on my back.patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698348452802053572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-90406873355115048292010-07-24T08:22:41.413-05:002010-07-24T08:22:41.413-05:00Holly, my granddaughter worked as a tour guide at ...Holly, my granddaughter worked as a tour guide at Tezcuco Plantation when she was in high-school.

...I haven't seen that movie but it looks good.<br /><br />I too adore the old plantations. There is nothing like spending the day there getting lost in another time. For years, my cousin in Gonzales and I would go to the Christmas party at Texcuco. It is so much fun to be there at night!CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.com
