Hi all,
New member here! Thought I better introduce myself and all. :P
Name:Blackat, or Rhea for short.
Age:15
Location:Australia
Favourite stars:Donald O'Connor, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Peggy Ryan, Jack Lemmon, Walter Mathau, Charlie Chaplin.
Favourite movies: Singin' in the Rain, On the Town, Call me Madam, The Odd Couple, The Band Wagon, Easter Parade, and the list goes on! ^^
As you can see, I'm a big Donald O'Connor fan! I love his work to bits, and I wish his tap dancing abilities were as reconized as Gene Kelly's and Fred Astaire's. He was truely a wonderful actor, singer and dancer. RIP, Mr O'Connor!
I don't know if I can do this, but I recently created a Donald O'Connor community, and I'd love if any of you Donald fans could join!

By the way, have any of you heard some of his radio shows? I downloaded a few the other day, one in particular with Bing Crosby. It was from around 1944, in what Mr O'Connor calls his "second career" in movies. It was just before he went off to war, which he never actually fought in and instead got to entertain the troups there. Anyway, the radio show was just brilliant, and I ended up making a transcript of it in my spare time. Would anyone be interested in seeing it?
Thanks for your time, guys! |
