I came across a 'recent' picture of Kym Karath, who played Doris and James Garner's daughter, Maggie Boyer. She was just the sweetest both in "The thrill" and as Gretel von Trapp in "The sound of mysic". Ta-dah!

She's got such a happy face - and I remember than funny little girl voice!

Doris and James Garner were so good together, weren't they? They put so much energy into it. I remember Doris saying in some documentary how she thought they were 'the perfect couple' (paraphrase).

I wonder how it would have worked if they had made Pillow Talk/Lover Come Back/etc and Rock had made Move Over Darling/The Thrill of it All?

Pointless question but interesting to think about. :wink:

Love the Kym Karath Pic - thanks.

I have to agree with Doris...I thought she and Garner were terrific together ! Of course, I'm a huge Garner fan -
but putting that aside - they had great chemistry and looked great together. They really looked as if they could be
married. And, they did some great argument scenes too ! Nobody can get mad like Doris - but he held his own !

I agree, what an unbeatable comedic and romantic duo. Amazing chemistry. Bryan, I've thought about that too even though I adore Rock Hudson; it's just that I wish (don't they, too?) they had done more films together. Toni, I'm a JG fan too, although I haven't watched him in anything else (yet) but the two movies with DD. He seems to be the kind of man I'm generally attracted to, what can I say! Wonderful pics, as always. [I got "The great escape" and "The notebook" and will be watching them some time soon]

Miss Maxwell -- I have always been a Garner fan. I was a Rockford Files addict when it was on tv. I've seen him on talk shows over the years - he is so genuine - just a really nice guy - and funny, too! He's sooo good !
And a real cutie !!

Delicious pics. And then it's the low, purry voice. Oh boy...!
Bryan - wow, Garner and Randall and Novak -
I'll definitely look for this one.

One of my favorite movies is Victor Victoria. Great movie.

And The Americanization of Emily is a good one too.

Excellent movie. Just saw it for the first time. There is a lot of chemistry between Doris and James (Jim). She always looks lovely and I am a big fan of James Garner. The kids were great too

I may have mentioned this once or twice or possibly three or four times previously.....but I think it's worth mentioning again! James Garner is totally HOT!

An unusual mixture of serious hunkiness combined with a caring and funny personality! How lovely :wink:

by **dayniac** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 8:12 pm

Sheila - couldn't agree more !! That combination is the best - a hunk with a great sence of humor and a caring personality !! What more could you ask for ??

by **Sheila** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 5:33 am

Very nice

I watched this movie for the first time today... and I loved it... it made me laugh... and at times it made me cry... whenever I see Doris cry... my heart just breaks... so I cry too... I loved the Notebook too!!! Even though Doris doesn't still act, I'm sure glad that James still does... Doris was beautiful... as usual... in this movie and she makes me want to watch more... watching Doris act really inspires me to follow my own dreams and go to Hollywood some day to act and sing... Maybe even make a trip to Carmel and see if I can see her anywhere... Back to subject.... Everything about this movie is great!!! I rated it EXCELLENT!!! My favorite scene is the end...

-Daddy, did you deliver a baby?
-Yes, and Mommy helped
-Oh!!! Do we get to keep it?!?
-No...
-But you promised
-Ya Daddy, we want a baby
-Well we'll have to discuss it
-Can you discuss it tonight???
-If Daddy isn't too tired!!!

I like the scene when Maggie is first talking about taking the baby home... when she says home is sounds funny!!! HOMUH!!! lol great movie!

by **BabeWilliams** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 8:26 pm

I just watched this again for the 2nd time... and I STILL LOVED it!!! I just can't get over the little girl...

Can you bring it HOMUH???

Doris- there how was that?

Little Girl- It smells just like piano teacher.. and now I smell just like her!

WOW like 10 billion stars and thumbs up!!! I loved every second of this movie... only 1 complaint... Our Doris did not sing... other than that, I LOVED it!!!

Babe, I trust you know the 'little girl' also played the youngest child in The Sound of Music? She was adorable in both SOM and TTOIA.

by **BabeWilliams** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 6:06 pm

yes, I did, she was GREAT in that too. Her recent pictures surprised me... oh well I guess people can't be cute forever... Was TTOIA made before or after SOM??? Why didn't Doris get to sing over the opening credits... I would have preferred to hear her sing rather than whoever it was doing the singing.. she looked magnificent in this movie though...

by **Jas1** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 6:08 pm

Babe, Thrill.... was released in 1963 and Sound of Music in '65. Yes, Doris never looked lovlier than in this film, I love her clothes and her hair behind her ears & flicked up, a great look.

Great pictures!

by **RueBea** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:51 pm

Isn't this the film where she suffered a cracked rib during filming because of a mishap when James picked her up wrong?

by **Barb_DDD** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:57 pm

That was in "Move Over Darling"

by **RueBea** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:05 pm

Thank you for the info.

I have a question.. it might sound silly, but it's serious..

In the movies... why don't the people wash their hair when they take showers... they wear those shower caps.. it's really bugging me... don't they want clean hair too???

by **Barb_DDD** » Sat May 10, 2008 8:46 pm

It funny, I was thinking of something like this not long ago when I was trying to think up a trivia question, something like: how many times was Doris filmed in the shower? and I remembered those funny shower caps.

I'm just guessing, but I imagine that it must be easier to film somebody with a shower cap on, than have to worry about wet hair.

by **BabeWilliams** » Sat May 10, 2008 10:29 pm

oh... I thought people just did that normally... like in The Thrill Of It All Doris said in a commercial.. and when I go home, I'm going to wash my hair with Happy Soap.. it just really confused me...

by **Theodomus** » Sun May 11, 2008 4:52 am

I imagine that people just didn't wash their hair daily as nowadays?

Just like you sometimes see them sleeping with hair curlers in movies of those days?

by **BabeWilliams** » Sun May 11, 2008 1:20 pm

hmm I never thought about that... i think you're right

by **Jas1** » Sun May 11, 2008 1:40 pm

That is true-my mother and grandmother's generation - it was a weekly trip to the hairdressers [1940s-60s]- and the hair had to stay in shape / style from one week to the next, and had enough support [setting lotion/ hair spray] to achieve this goal!
