Betty, now Franzalia, Brodel I understand is still alive in Florida. <br /><br />I still feel the loss of Joan as I watched her in my favorite movies of that era. I just saw Star Dust, where Joan and Mary had a small part. I was very surprised how closely Mary and Joan resembled each other. Thus my curiosity was triggered, and I searched to find out "where they are now".<br /><br />What a nice family from all accounts. You rightly should be very proud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294626334344387217.post-2758454890134606262015-10-18T22:18:28.477-05:002015-10-18T22:18:28.477-05:00Thank you for your kind words...Thank you for your kind words...Cathy Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700052760855695613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294626334344387217.post-9485940992535545242015-10-18T22:10:53.565-05:002015-10-18T22:10:53.565-05:00If I could have met only one actress in the histor...If I could have met only one actress in the history of movies it would have been Joan Leslie hands down. I had just finished watching Hollywood Canteen for the umpteenth time and when I checked the Internet site I was stunned to hear of her passing last Thursday but my initial disbelief sadly turned real as the numerous other accounts gave the story credibility. Like another Anonymous I too, was numb and it's been three days before I could write these lines now. <br /><br />Ms. Leslie had all the gifts that we associate with the very best actresses including beauty, voice (speaking and singing), and expression (acting or dancing). But perhaps an even greater legacy will be the model she set in her private life unlike so many other acclaimed actresses. I take special comfort in knowing that she appreciated a small edible gift that I sent her, less than a month before her passing according to a beautiful note written by her daughter Ellen. <br /><br />Thank you, dear Lord for giving us Ms. Leslie and the time we had her with us, she will be greatly missed for many things!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294626334344387217.post-88469634634355517372015-10-16T09:03:01.495-05:002015-10-16T09:03:01.495-05:00Thank you for the very kind words.

I have almost all her movies, and some great photos of her I collected through the years, and now I will cherish them more. I wish to write more, but I am numb. Just knowing she was with us made my day brighter when I watched her movies. Now, all we have are the memories of when she touched our lives, until we meet again in Heaven. At that time, I WILL ask her what in the world did she say (mouthed actually) at the end of the Sky's the Limit (my favorite movie of hers. <br /><br />I am so sorry she passed, but we all must one day. My prayers are with you Joan, and since I am convinced you are now a Saint in Heaven...toss a little help with your intercession to Jesus my way! :)<br /><br />You are missed, Joan...sorely missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
