"Bing loved to buy houses, the bigger the better She has published an illustrated book, "My Last Years With Bing," which tells of an unusual marriage " Crosby also lacked Hope's engaging personality, observed Charles Champlin, who interviewed the singer for Life magazine and the Los Angeles Times Once there, he attended Mass in Madrid and then played golf at a country club, collapsing and dying of a heart attack immediately afterward Crosby Observances a Laid-Back Affair Apr 30, 11:17 AM EST In a glade of towering eucalyptus trees south of San Francisco looms the Bing Crosby manor, its tall red-brick facade and peaked gray-blue slate roof resembling a stately house of England I do feel I should tell you what I want to say Since Bing's death, biographies have claimed that he could be cold and aloof to his sons and co-workers " On another wall, gold records and a large painting of a pensive Bing that was used to advertise his 1953 film, "Little Boy Lost Gonzaga University, near Spokane, Wash "Whenever we were apart, he wrote to me every day, and I did the same to him " Showcases are full of trophies for golf tournaments and horse races "That made Bing uncomfortable," she recalled Standing on the fireplace mantel is his Oscar for best actor of 1944 as the singing priest in "Going My Way Crosby denies assertions that her husband was a cold person Capitol Records has marketed a group of Crosby recordings, with another coming May 20 , will feature a weekend of screenings, symposiums and music May 16-18 for its most famous alumnus Crosby's records reached the top of the charts 38 times "He said, `I can support my wife On Monday, Universal Home Video is releasing DVDs of his films including "Rhythm on the River," "Blue Skies" and "Birth of the Blues " The company also has released DVDs of Bob Hope movies in honor of his 100th birthday May 29, including four "Road" pictures with Crosby In November, Hofstra University on New York's Long Island hosted a commemorative program, and among those present: Mrs "Hope had an instinctive gift for outreach " Decca Records, which released Crosby's early and mid-career recordings, has issued two-CD collections of Crosby songs The Hillsborough house could qualify as a Crosby museum, albeit an utterly private one "His music is kind of old-fashioned, not as hip as Sinatra 1 Crosby's reputation as an easygoing singer of romantic ballads was eroded in 1983 when oldest son, Gary, from his first marriage, wrote "Going My Own Way," in which he described Bing as an abusive father â€â€? physically and mentally " In March 1977, Crosby fell into an orchestra pit during a TV show but soon recovered "He was a very, very private guy, aloof and austere Although Gonzaga students may not be familiar with Crosby's music, they pass his likeness every day (After 55 years, it was finally supplanted by "Candle in the Wind '97" â€â€? Elton John's tribute CD to Princess Diana His ba-ba-ba-boo style of crooning was heard everywhere, inspiring a future generation of singers, especially Frank Sinatra, who idolized him It said: "I guess this will be my last letter to you, since you won't see me He smoothly made the transition from radio to television, including his own ABC sitcom in the mid-'60s and numerous specials and guest appearances I want to marry you any time, any place you wish ) Crosby also rode the wave of movie musicals, which had come into vogue with the arrival of talkies " They ended up with a string of homes from nearby Pebble Beach to a Nevada ranch to a vacation spot in Mexico Mrs That's all right; we'll celebrate his 100th all year and into 2004 " On one wall, framed sheet music of his early hits: "The Old Ox Road," "June in January," "Please," "Thanks ' Whenever I took a job, he would take one child to Hawaii "We fell in love with this house and bought it shortly after Bing and I were married in 1957," remarked Kathryn Crosby, 69, who was Crosby's second wife (his first wife, Dixie, with whom he had four sons, died in 1952) and others will share their memories of Der Bingle "But the reference books say 1903 " Yet to the people in fan clubs that still exist, Crosby remains the troubadour who warmed their lives in times of Depression, war and recovery The centerpiece is Crosby's second-floor office She produced a framed letter written by hand after a tiff in their courtship But these honors seem muted compared with the hoopla attending Hope's 100th anniversary, including a prime-time TV special, civic events and numerous other salutes Mrs There was the tell-all book that his son Gary wrote about `how Pop beat me and was mean to me' ' I said, `I want to work because I want to work Richard Schickel, film historian and Time magazine critic, offered an explanation for the discrepancy It was a wonderful experience for the children And for years "White Christmas" remained the top-selling record of all time As Kathryn or Kathy Grant, she had appeared in leading roles in 1950s movies The following October, he announced he was going pheasant shooting in Spain "One thing is obvious: Hope is still alive, Bing isn't," he replied His alma mater is observing Crosby's 100th Also there were rumors that Crosby was snappish and not particularly warm-spirited And she continued working in films, television and theater after the wedding Crosby; Fred Astaire's daughter, Ava McKenzie; Irving Berlin's daughter, Linda Emmet; and musicians such as Buddy Bregman, Joe Bushkin and Skitch Henderson, who called Crosby "the most disciplined performer I ever worked with Outside the Crosby Student Center stands a bronze statue of him with pipe and hat, golf clubs at hand, looking as if he's ready for a round of his favorite sport Or was he? "I've always believed that he was born in 1904, and that's the way his grave marker reads," says his widow, Kathryn Crosby Those things slightly polluted Crosby's image For 13 years he was among the top 10 box-office stars and for five years in the 1940s reigned at No I don't think Bing ever had that," Champlin said Throughout his long celebrity, Crosby seemed uneasy in the spotlight, and tried, often vainly, to shield his private life from the glare " Bing Crosby became the 20th century's first multimedia star, vaulting to stardom when radio was coming into its own in the early 1930s " Crosby centennial observances seem modest and laid-back, not unlike the man himself Crosby, Rich Little, Frank Sinatra Jr This was the main home for the singer-movie star, who was born 100 years ago on May 2 Some material may not be suitable for children "The Truth About Charlie," a Universal release, is rated PG-13 for some violence and sexual content and nudity R â€â€? Restricted He tosses in pointless roles for New Wave legends Charles Aznavour and Anna Karina and director Agnes Varda For everyone else, Demme's cutesy indulgences jumble up a blithely convoluted story with dull, needless distractions In one sequence, Wahlberg meanders through Paris in an old-fashioned hat and jacket resembling the jaunty outfit of Jean-Paul Belmondo in Godard's "Breathless One and a half stars out of four So, Demme figures, wouldn't it be cool to spice up "Charade" with New Wave touches? Much of "The Truth About Charlie" is shot in the hit-and-run style and edited with the hiccuping discontinuity pioneered by Godard The kid's first real taste of an adult film has taught him life's scariest lesson, that one day, everybody's face will go as blank as hook guy's Then 20 years later, he rents Stanley Donen's "Charade," starring classy older gent Cary Grant, peppy young flirt Audrey Hepburn, and some thugs, including Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy, sporting a hook for a hand PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 Review: 'The Truth About Charlie' Oct 25, 1:30 PM EST There's a review of "The Truth About Charlie" coming, but first you must endure a self-indulgent recollection official (Tim Robbins); three menacing toughs (Joong-Hoon Park, Lisa Gay Hamilton and Ted Levine); and a police detective (Christine Boisson) and her aide (Simon Abkarian) " And the image of Truffaut's gravestone in the closing credits is just bizarre The grown-up kid feels a chill as Grant throws open a bathroom door and discovers Kennedy staring up absently from under the water Big deal The references will be lost on younger audiences unversed in the French New Wave The image sticks with him for decades, though he remembers almost nothing else about the movie " He's not thrilled at the casting â€â€? Thandie Newton and the generally bland Mark Wahlberg subbing for Hepburn and Grant â€â€? but it's written and directed by Jonathan Demme, so there's hope the director might craft a mix of the whimsy of his "Melvin and Howard" and the suspense of his "The Silence of the Lambs Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian Demme's taken a movie he loves, copied the essential plot verbatim without a single new twist, then strung on baubles that degrade "Charade's" charming story to a turgid mess This 5-year-old kid back in the '60s is staying with his grandparents, and Grandma Bertha subscribes to the TV-as-babysitter system to keep the boy occupied NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted Some material may be inappropriate for young children " If you think this lead-in's been self-indulgent, wait till you see "The Truth About Charlie" (actually, don't see it; take our word and save yourself time and money better spent on another flick) There's Joshua (Wahlberg), who seems to be a good Samaritan but whose shifting identities leave Regina in doubt; a shadowy U S Regina's quickly beset by oddballs, all interested in a fortune Charlie may or may not have left in her keeping Newton is Regina, who returns from a holiday to find her hubby, Charlie, whom she was about to divorce, murdered â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested " Then comes the scene when a bathroom door is flung open to reveal hook guy drowned in an overflowing tub, bearing the most vacant expression the kid's ever seen on a human face All ages admitted Demme adds flourishes that amount to groveling at the altar of the French New Wave, noting in background materials for "The Truth About Charlie" that the Paris of "Charade" looks quaintly Old World considering that the film came out in 1963, when Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard and others were redefining cinema More annoying are Demme's inside jokes Newton's fairly enchanting, at times channeling Hepburn's fusion of elegance and befuddlement Cut to the near-present, when he learns a remake is in the works called "The Truth About Charlie One day, up comes some macabre but merry crime romp about a classy older gent, a peppy young flirt and some thugs, including one with a hook for a hand, a rattling notion for a boy yet to see "Peter Pan Predictably, Wahlberg's a bore, while Robbins seems to be attempting a Matthau impersonation while constipated Running time: 104 minutes Done to death in the cinematic naturalism of the last 40 years |
