I thought it was shameful to wheel him out there.

I thought it was...odd? Also not too well thought out...guess no one remembers all those rape allegations...and on black dress night to boot...huh!

Don’t forget he had a very debilitating stroke a couple decades ago and he hasn’t been able to speak well since. Because of that stroke I for one am shocked he even made it to 90, much less 101.

oh...I didn't forget anything...I even remembered the rape business😳 Hope no one else remembers...

What rape business?

Unsubstantiated rumors

I don't know if Douglas raped Natalie Wood or not. The only thing that's not in doubt is that Natalie was indeed raped at 16 by a Hollywood POS "powerbroker" and was told by many (including her mama) not to rat him out in order not to soil Hollywood's house.

Two tragedies; that a girl was raped and that the perp didn't pay for it. Whoever it was, I wish there was a way for FACTs to be known and not innuendo and supposition.

As to your point, I said the same thing. I would not watch the show but as we were channel surfing a bit, I came across Douglas in his wheelchair and stopped out of morbid curiosity. I want to live as long as I can be independent and enjoy life. When the day comes that I'm someone's burden, I'm hoping that's my last day.

By capitalizing facts...am I to assume that was a clever barb...aimed at inflicting some degree of shame upon me? I made sure to use the term alleged...what more could I have done? Not mentioned it?

Reread my post. My comment to you was strictly on your point about being that old and still being alive.

The part of my post about his alleged involvement with Natalie Wood was not directed to you, although one does have to push a "reply" button in order to post anything, so I picked yours as I was also addressing your point about his age. I've read a lot of comments on the web today as well as a couple of threads on this site about Douglas and the rape, and a lot of people have assumed that Douglas is guilty of rape without facts and that's what I was addressing. Put a gun to my head and I'll tell you I believe it was him as well, but I won't say it without knowing the facts.

But no, I was not picking on you.

I noticed the good...focused on the cryptic...my bad😉

I totally disagree with you DF! I mean, if I can still take care of myself and I don't have to get visits from nurses, home health care, etc then man, let me live forever. Just want charliekelly by my side :)

Also, handsome man in his prime.

Oh I agree...but he wasn't checking any of those boxes. It was like watching a toddler running...scary shit!

reply

ah, a fall or accident is bound to happen.

reply

I've fallen and I can't get up😉
