Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas

These ladies are so sweet and there is great chemistry between them all. The tone and the sets are very sumptious and Christmassy too and it is good to see these actresses again after first seeing them back in the 1980s. I just wish they had all left their faces alone. They have all had far too much work done and the tooth veneers get in the way....the words are not pronounced properly. Linda Evans looks the best & the most natural. However, they all seem to have had fun making the film. It would have been great seeing naturally older women but it seems that is unforgivable in the States! Shame.

I loved Golden Girls. I loved These Old Bags. I would rather watch seasoned veterans instead of nubile youth any day. Except today.

This hurt. I've never seen people try so hard to hold onto the past. These actresses must have had more than beauty and glamour. They basically play older bimbos, not mature interesting women. I know this is fluff, but it isn't fun fluff. It tries so hard to be polite the only catty scene - the food fight - is a big yawn.

All of them seem the same, yet look misshapen, stretched and literally in pain. They seem in pain every time they move. All of them seem barely able to speak from facial surgeries or injections.

I've seen mature actresses in great roles giving great performances. This was just the opposite of life affirming.

This movie held me absolutely spellbound! Certainly not because it was great acting or a great plot, because of how young Donna Mills looks. The woman is 84 years old!!! It has me seriously questioning if she was digitally enhanced in the film. She looked very natural and like "herself." Someone in another review felt that Linda Gray looked the best. I'm afraid I have to disagree with that assessment. While I agree Linda has aged gracefully, Donna looks incredible. Just to clarify, I am a 61 year old straight woman. I'm saying this because I am in awe, not because I am attracted to her. Which FYI,, is the same age as Nicolette. I think Donna looks younger than all of them, Nicolette included. Donna and Linda are the oldest, both born in 1940. Lonnie is next, born in 1945. Then Morgan, 1950. To sum it up, they all looked really good. After all, it has been 40 years since they were in their If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. They were beautiful young women, why wouldn't they turn out to be beautiful old women( compared to their peer group, of course)?

So wondering to see these beautiful ladies together. Grew up watching them. I loved their looks, fashion, etc then and love them now. I must say Linda Gray and Morgan Fairchild are my favorites here. This heartwarming, funny movie brings so much joy especially during the Christmas season . I hope they can do more shows like this all year round. So many older actors and actresses from back in the days can still do a lot in the entertainment industry. Thank you to these beautiful ladies and the creators, producers, writers, directors for doing this. Imagine bringing Joan Collins and Linda Evans back together!!!!

Shindler's List this movie is not. Hell, it's not even Devil Wears Prada but it's fun and nostalgic with some sharp pop culture writing zings. I grew up watching all these ladies on TV and VCR'd everyone one of their shows when I couldn't watch it live. Linda Gray was always my fav actress and it was great to see her on TV again having fun. I read a couple of reviews that stated this could be an annual reunion movie with additional diva actresses brought in for new storylines. A future storyline could be a Diva Challenge Special with the ladies of The Great Lakes competing against another rival soap from the 80's The High Hills with Joan Collins, Susan Sullivan, Joan Van Ark, Michelle Lee and Charlene Tilton. Let's see more of these ladies Lifetime.
