I think they should make a remake of this
It might be nice to see a remake of this, updated of course, but with two actors/actress with chemistry as great as Rock & Susan.
I was on a cruise with Nancy Walker, who was:
1. an absolute doll
2. Has an amazing memory. My cabin was a few doors down from hers. I met her while boarding the ship, I had just found out I was an uncle for the 1st time, (less than a minute before I met her)....I was so excited that I said, "Hi my name is ____ & I just became an uncle & then blurted out my Nephew's name"...I must have sounded so foolish to her.
Instead she was very sweet about it and every day she made a point of asking me if I had gotten any more info on my Nephew. She remembered my Nephew's full name the entire length of the cruise...This was much before the Internet and I can to place ship to shore calls or send cables to my family for info on my Nephew. She kept track of when I was going up to the radio room to place a calls so she could get all of the update son the baby, (sadly there was no way to send photos to the ship back then). The cruise traveled from NYC to and around Europe and we are on the ship for several weeks. She asked me for baby updates several times a day. She was a lovely person.
We had a very long conversation about McMillan & Wife & Rhoda....she cried when speaking of Rock Hudson, not just did she say he was nothing but funny, sweet and kind, but they maintained their friendship until the very end, (she felt in the end just like most AIDS patients of the time, he was treated as a leper, which made her cry that much more). Even at the end she said he was charming and funny. She also said that Elizabeth Taylor should have been beatified for raising so much $ for HIV/AIDS research and dedicating so much of herself and time in the memory of Rock Hudson.
She felt as If Susan was a daughter to her, and when Susan had her miscarriage Nancy was the first person she told outside of her family....
Nice to know that it was much more than just actors playing parts...but dear friends who kept in touch all of their lives...
