The Forsyte Saga (2002-03)
This series is based on the books by John Galsworthy, which were published in the 1920s. It follows the lives of the upper class Forsyte family. There was also an adaptation from the 1960s- I haven’t seen either but I think they’re both on BritBox!

Great Expectations (2011)
Here is yet another adaptation of this novel! I don’t know why so many were released in such a short time. I like Douglas Booth and Vanessa Kirby so I’m interested in this version! The costumes look pretty too!

Burt Reynolds and Dinah Shore met in 1970 when he appeared on her show, Dinah’s Place. They were instantly attracted to each other, despite the age difference. �
Dinah was 53 and Burt was 34. �They began a four-year love affair, keeping much of their relationship private. ��Dinah said, “A human relationship has nothing to do with chronology. It has to do with chemistry. A man is a man. And an attraction is an attraction.”�
Burt said, “We couldn’t have been more in love. But there was a snag. Dinah wouldn’t marry me. She said it was because she couldn’t give me children, and it’s true I wanted them badly. But we could have adopted.”

Dinah had already raised two children with her ex-husband, actor and stuntman George Montgomery, whom she divorced in 1963 after nearly two decades of marriage.

After their relationship ended, Dinah never remarried. Burt married actress Loni Anderson (1988-1994) and they adopted a son named, Quinton.

Burt often said Dinah had been the love of his life. They remained friends until Dinah’s death in 1994.

Burt stated later in his life, “My biggest regret is parting ways with her; it was so stupid of me. We were soulmates. … I was so lucky to have had someone like that in my life. She was so young of heart and spirit in every way.”

The love story between Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) and Madeline Fabray LaMotte (Lesley-Anne Down) is a central and poignant element in John Jakes’ novel North and South trilogy, which was also adapted into a popular 1985 television series.

In 1842, Orry Main, a Southern gentleman, falls in love with Madeline Fabray, a strong-willed belle, when he rescues her on the way to West Point. Despite their mutual affection, Madeline is forced into an abusive marriage with Justin LaMotte after her father hides Orry’s letters.

Years later, Madeline and Orry rekindle their love in secret, even as the Civil War tears the country—and their lives—apart. Their romance becomes a symbol of forbidden love, tested by war, family loyalty, and personal sacrifice.🌺

If you get a chance to find the trilogy it’s worth the viewing, especially if you like romance and unrequited love. 💕

January 31, 1914 Arnold Raymond Cream (Jersey Joe Walcott), Hall of Fame boxer, was born in Merchantville, New Jersey.
Walcott made his professional boxing debut in 1930 and in 1951 won the heavyweight championship at the age of 37. At the time, he was the oldest man to win the heavyweight championship.
Over his 23 year professional boxing career, he had a record of 51 wins, 18 losses and 2 draws. After retiring, Walcott worked as a boxing referee and in 1972 became Sheriff of Camden County. From 1975 to 1984, he served as Chairman of the New Jersey State Athletic Commission. In 1990, Walcott was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and he died on February 25, 1994.

Gene Hackman, the prolific Oscar-winning actor whose studied portraits ranged from reluctant heroes to conniving villains and made him one of the industry’s most respected and honored performers, has been found dead along with his wife at their home. He was 95.

Hackman was a frequent and versatile presence on screen from the 1960s until his retirement. His dozens of films included the Academy Award favorites “The French Connection” and “Unforgiven,” a breakout performance in “Bonnie and Clyde,” a classic bit of farce in “Young Frankenstein,” a turn as the comic book villain Lex Luthor in “Superman” and the title character in Wes Anderson’s 2001 “The Royal Tenenbaums.”

Although self-effacing and unfashionable, Hackman held special status within Hollywood — heir to Spencer Tracy as an everyman, actor’s actor, curmudgeon and reluctant celebrity. He embodied the ethos of doing his job, doing it very well, and letting others worry about his image.

Hackman was born in San Bernardino, California, in 1930, and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at 16, lying about his age. While in the military, Hackman worked as a broadcast journalist, before being discharged in 1951.

He was an early retiree — essentially done, by choice, with movies by his mid-70s — and a late bloomer. Hackman was 35 when cast for “Bonnie and Clyde” and past 40 when he won his first Oscar, as the rules-bending New York City detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in the 1971 thriller about tracking down Manhattan drug smugglers, “The French Connection.

In 1956, Hackman married Fay Maltese, a bank teller he had met at a YMCA dance in New York. They had a son, Christopher, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Leslie, but divorced in the mid-1980s. In 1991 he married Betsy Arakawa, a classical pianist.

Statement from his family:

“He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa. We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss,” Hackman’s children from a previous marriage, Elizabeth and Leslie, and granddaughter Annie.
