Walking with Leslie

When the weather gets colder, it's time to change things up. I love to walk and when its so cold outdoors, it is hard for me to walk. The cold bothers my bones and chest, so I turn to my trusted friend Leslie Sansone. I have been walking with Leslie for  5 years now. I just love her motivation. I also love that I can log onto facebook and get lots of inspiration from kindred spirits.....
When it's raining, snowing, to hot or to cold. Leslie is just a click of the button away.

Her workouts are so healthy, it's heart healthy and a great tool for safe weight loss.

I love to use different DVDs to mix it up, but my favorite is the very first one I bought, 3 fast miles. I had to stop using the DVDs for a while as I had a health issue. As of last week I am slowly getting back into shape, and Leslie's DVDs have already shown an improvement.

I have a good size collection, and I am always on the look out for new DVDs. I have found these DVDs to be a wonderful tool.
It's always a good time to walk.
And this I am thankful for.
Hugs,
Ellen

Leslie is a great friend to walk with. She is good to go in all kinds of weather. She's not afraid of being chased by dogs or goat's, and she ready in any given moment..
She's the bomb!

Hedda Hopper


Birth:

May 2, 1890
Death:

Feb. 1, 1966
Actress, Journalist. Despite a 23 year career that encompassed over 120 motion picture appearances and chorus girl roles on Broadway to motion pictures, she is best remembered for her newspaper column and radio show that focused exclusively on Hollywood gossip, a subject she was able to tell more about to her audience due to her Hollywood insider status. Born Elda Furry in Holidaysburg, Pennsylvania, she left school to act on Broadway. In 1913 she married marquee star William DeWolfe, a man who was 32 years her senior. They had one son, and divorced in 1922, but she kept his name for the rest of her life (and changed her name to Hedda on the advice of a numerologist). In 1931 she began “The Hedda Hopper Show”, which initially ran as a 15 minute gossip show mostly devoted to Hollywood marriages and divorces. Enormously popular, it ran until 1951, and on the strength of its popularity she started the “Hedda Hopper’s Hollywood” column in the Los Angeles Times in 1938. She steadily gained a reputation for exposing tidbits about the lives of Hollywood figures, and created a character of herself in her own right, especially in regard to her vast collection of sometimes outrageous hats, and a long standing feud with rival gossip columnist Louella Parsons. With the advent of television’s popularity in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he radio show waned, but she herself became a staple of television programs and game shows, being a frequent panelist on “What’s My Line?’, and appear on shows like “I Love Lucy”, “The Colgate Variety Hour” and “The Beverly Hillbillies”. In 1960 she received the Journalistic Merit award, and published her autobiography “The Whole Truth and Nothing But!”, which recapped her over 20 years or being an Hollywood insider. She died in Los Angeles of double pneumonia in 1966, working right up until her passing. As a Hollywood icon, she created a number of friends and enemies; she gave harsh advice to actress Ida Lupino, which helped her gain recognizable part, but was despised by actress Joan Bennett, who once sent her a skunk. In 1985 a movie about the feud between her and Parsons was released as “Malice in Wonderland”, which Jane Alexander as Hedda Hopper and Elizabeth Taylor as Louella Parsons
