Jan Tartu | @ I just saw this recent news item concerning a former home of Ronald Colman's: "A Playa del Rey house built for Oscar-winning 1930s film star Ronald Colman has sold for $1.6 million. The Mediterranean, constructed in 1927, sits on an ocean-view lot in a hilltop area known as Palisades del Rey. Original details include a carved beam ceiling, arched doorways and Malibu tile. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms lie within the 2,500 square feet of living space. Colman, who died in 1958 at 67, won his Academy Award as the leading man in "A Double Life" (1947). Among his other films were "Random Harvest" (1942), "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937) and "Lost Horizon" (1937). The house previously changed hands in 2001 for $1,071,000, according to public records. Alice Plato of Coldwell Banker, Marina del Rey, handled both sides of the transaction." There is at least one photo of the balcony of the house overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A stunning view from what sounds like a modest-sized yet beautifully-designed and built home. 10 February 2011 - New York -Italy- UK- Romania-Hollywood Albert A. Annunziata | @ A MOST HAPPY and BLESSED 120th BIRTHDAY! (in Heaven, of course!) There's GOT to be a Heaven, otherwise where would Ronald Colman have come from? What's that line from LOST HORIZON: "There are moments in a man's life when he glimpses the eternal". That's what I see in Colman, in that magnificent shot of his face as he gazes upon Shangri-La one last time (or so he thinks). What is it about Colman? I have often asked myself that question and consistently find the answer in his wonderful films, in his unique, God-given, reassurring voice, in those eyes--sometimes playful, oft-times soulful--but always clear windows to the depths of a very good and deeply compassionate man. I would to God that I could have met and known him in his day. I was barely 5 years old when he died but in a very real and abiding sense, he has been like a second father to me all these years. and I will always be grateful for that! 9 February 2011 - Thornwood, New York Janice | @ I am watching "Lost Horizon" as I write this. I haven't seen this before which is odd since I'm a Frank Capra and a Ronald Coleman fan. What a lovely man and a wonderful actor.and that voice. Like Cary Grant he aged beautifully. They do not make them like that anymore!! 23 January 2011 - Phila, Pa. John | @ What to say-the man was magnificent ! 14 January 2011 - Portland Maine USA Earth Christopher Smith | @ I watch "A Tale of Two Cities" every Christmas. For me, Colman's inner strengh gives his character the legs and depth Dicken's intended. His performance warms my heart each and every holida season. God bless him for the joy he has brought to so many. 28 December 2010 - Florence, Alabama [Previous] [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 25 ] [Next]
