“I was determined not to die young. My hope was to endure. And endure I have.” - Mamie Van Doren.. watch “Marilyn Monroe - we finally know who her father was & her "tragic" childhood may have been made up..” NEXT ua-cam.com/video/374BRXebNAY/v-deo.html
I forgot what video I was watching. I think it was about Diana Ross. Hey, there birthday twin😊😊😊 @KarineAlourde. Funny, you have the same interest as me when it comes to Old Hollywood stars. I never thought about a UA-cam channel on.
So glad that she played smart and chose her safety and her son's safety over the fame and did it early when she could. Thank you for the video Karine, hope that you're having a amazing Friday love ❤
Thanks for this portrait of Mamie Van Doren. She clearly had more talent than she was allowed to reveal. She was wise to leave the industry. Seems like she was way ahead of her time. Here's to you, Mamie. 💛💛💛
I never new much about Mamie Van Doren and it's clear she is not only gorgeous but a smart cookie as well to have left Hollywood. .💛 Edit; I just looked her up and she is 92 and still looks incredible!
Wow! I never knew about her! She was def overshadowed by Marilyn and Jane. But imo its a blessing because its not like she died young and tragically like they did.
her style was so impeccable, and her camera presence was magnetic. no matter how much they tried to sculpt her into another Marilyn, she shine through.
Nice to hear something different about her! I’ve always heard people make her out to be a cheap Marilyn knock off. But this time, I get to see her in such a different light. Thank you 💛💛💛
You did great on this vid🤗! I have never heard of her but you have sparked my interest in wanting know more. Such a pretty and talented woman🤩. I'm thrilled that she didn't succumb to Hollyweird's pressures and downfall. Btw... somewhere on Google, I saw that she's been married 5x's. She also looks great for 92. To live that long is rare in itself🙏❤️.
I really love your channel. You present very well, and you definitely do your research. As I was watching your video on Mamie Van Doren, I remembered the scene in Pulp Fiction where Uma Thurman and John Travolta were in that club Jack Rabbits. There was a blonde server, and I believe Uma pointed out it was Marilyn Monroe,but Travolta corrected her and said that's Mamie Van Doren. Perhaps that was Quentin Tarantino's way of giving her credit. I would love to see a bio on Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis mother, truly Hollywood royalty, Audrey Hepburn, or Lonette McKee. 💛💛💛💛
This was very fascinating..I never heard of her before, but now I will go check out her work, it is sad how death makes people Iconic but those with similar accolades that live a full life get looked over, very strange, anyway Thank you for another great educational video💛
Do you know Tuesday Weld? She has a fascinating story. The movies she was in and the television show, Dobie Gillis, are really great and show her amazing talent through serious mental health issues. She's wonderful.
After watching so many videos of yours, today I must say that not only the topics are very interesting, but your descriptions reveal a very decent and sensible personality. Thank you for your work and positive messages. ...and Congratulations!
I only knew of her because of her romantic liaisons and her being seen as a Marylin Monroe knock off. I think she left Hollywood after Marylin died because the whole “dumb blonde” era was pretty much over after that. I think her acting was always criticized it I personally think she was a much better actress then Jayne was.
Wow, I did not know she was still alive. I'm a huge pin up girl fan, have Jane Mansfield, Josephine Baker, Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake, Ava Gardner, Bettie Page, Barbara Stanwick, and Dorothy Dandridge tattooed on my arm. Mamie Van Doren was on the list, but I ran out of room.
I've heard Mamie's name before but knew absolutely nothing about her. What a beautiful woman and her voice 😍 I just found your channel and am loving it, thank you for these videos! I love all the old footage and anecdotes 💜
What Madonna did in the 80s & 90s, Mamie been did that in the 50s & 60s. Madonna may have been inspired by Marilyn but Mamie was already doing what Madonna did. She was ahead of her time & is sooo underrated. She's a legend and I hope she gets honoured with an Oscar Honour award or something really soon. She needs to receive her flowers 💐 immediately !! 🩷
I’ve recently found out about mamie and I’m surprised I didn’t know about her before. She’s absolutely adorable. She actually had only one child, a son. I’m watching her interview right now.
You should do a video on the photographer Bunny Yeager. She was a pioneer in Pin Up photography. Took photos for Bettie Page andddd 💛 I’m brunette but love blonde 😊 thought that was cute!
Wow! Always loved the Beautiful Mamie Van Doren! I saw her in interviews, and she has a fun and likeable personality! Love all the Cheesecake photos and the movie scenes you show of her here! I Even have some young and sexy pics of her on my cell phone! Didn't know she sang so much! She was really just as talented as Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield but in history she is put third to those top two blonde bombshells in general. Mamie aged very beautifully! Nicely done documentary on her life! Thanks for the upload Karine Alourde.❤❤💛💛.
I love Mamie! I too also love Old Hollywood and have interviewed many celebrities and actors! I tried to get an interview with Mamie but sadly she declined! Everything you said about her is true! She still is beautiful even today! Totally enjoyed this 💐💐💐💛💛💛💛
I think she also came out with beauty and cosmetics line after her time in Hollywood. And gosh does she favor a young Jessica Lange, especially in the eyes.
A fascinating pair are the Dolly sisters, a traveling pair who were quite popular in the Vaudeville Era. Theres even a hit movie about them from 1945 starring Betty Grable.
I like how you casually tried to brush over the fact of how she left Hollywood but Jane Mansfield died in a car accident there was no drugs involved which leads me to believe it was something more to it
I'm sure lots of starlets left after that. Some of them saw Hollywood for what it was, and some probably had to leave because they knew too much. Especially if they were friends with Marilyn. JFK, RFK,etc.🤷
Jane Mansfield was also known for being mixed in with Anton Lavey, the priest of the church of Satan so some folks believe that was her karma for dealing with the dark powers that may be
She also mispronounced Warren Beatty and I’ve heard her mispronounce Mickey Cohen in multiple videos. I’m a stickler for saying people’s names right. That was their legacy.
She's been my Facebook friend for several years! Slyly funny, wise and beautiful. But I always thought her name was pronounced "May-me" not "Mammy"...Either way, love you Karine, you are really shining a light on so many incredible women who have faded from memory. Please consider Natacha Rambova--she was married to Rudolph Valentino but was a great, visionary artist ahead of her time. Also the greatest actress ever to grace the Horror genre with her beauty and sheer class: Barbara Steele
@@superamanda maybe there wasn't much she could find out maybe she didn't have time to dive deeper. The fact that she's bringing light to a forgotten figure is amazing still. I've never heard of her and many people commenting haven't as well, but people are saying they want to learn more and maybe that's the point. Whatever isn't said cause be self research.
What a stunner!!! I think movies get labeled as scandalous to build excitement. I don't know if you remember the movie "The Warriors.' It came out in the late 70s and people said that they were afraid it would incite teenagers to rebel and go out and fight in the streets. Well, when I hear that something is scandalous or 'bad', I want to go see! boy, what a disappointment! LOL I noticed a few of these photos of Miss Mamie, I thought Katy Perry looks like her except with dark hair. Thanks for all the hard work you've done on her story.
You have done a beautiful job making a video about Brazilian model Adriana Lima….Thanks!! Could you please make a video about Brazilian actress Sonia Braga and her Hollywood career? Thanks 💚💛💙🇧🇷
Yes! Yes! Yes! I was going to comment to you begging you to do a video in Mamie ; and now I can watch it as I have my breakfast! Thank you! PS Read her autobiography- “Playing the Field”, what a great read.
The name Mamie is pronounced with a long “a” that sounds like the way you pronounce the letter “a” itself, followed by one consonant, not like mammy, followed by two consonants, ie, later vs latter…
I loved this! So happy you did a segment on her. I think she's extraordinary. As much as I love Marilyn, I don't believe either she or Mansfield, if alive, would hold a candle to what Van Doren is at her age. 💛💛💛

Can you do a video for the 90s supermodel HELENA CHRISTENSEN
❤oop😊
I forgot what video I was watching. I think it was about Diana Ross. Hey, there birthday twin😊😊😊 @KarineAlourde. Funny, you have the same interest as me when it comes to Old Hollywood stars. I never thought about a UA-cam channel on.
The things I can talk about my grandfather told me about certain celebrities he met in person and scandals. UmmmHmmmm.
Yes, she’s still gorgeous 😍
She's 91 years old and still performing. You didn't mention she's on the Hollywood walk frame she has a star .
Broadway?
@Kbthebeesnees Hello, is it Broadway or Hollywood ?
This is a strong spirit!❤
Lol how is she still performing at 91 😅
I Google her, and that's what it showed
So glad that she played smart and chose her safety and her son's safety over the fame and did it early when she could. Thank you for the video Karine, hope that you're having a amazing Friday love ❤
I hope you have a wonderful weekend mg love 💛💛
I think she was simply overshadowed by Marilyn and Jane, which is a shame because she had a much more natural and relatable style of acting.💛
100% agreed! and I would argue she was prettier than Jayne too.
Thanks for this portrait of Mamie Van Doren. She clearly had more talent than she was allowed to reveal. She was wise to leave the industry. Seems like she was way ahead of her time. Here's to you, Mamie. 💛💛💛
One of the few, indeed.

She looks INSANELY good! Glad she's happily married too! 😁
Wow she’s beautiful still. I googled cuz this comment
Mamie is what Rock and Roll is all about!
Ray Anthony (her son's father) is 102 years old and Mamie is 92 years old.
Wow! I never knew about her! She was def overshadowed by Marilyn and Jane. But imo its a blessing because its not like she died young and tragically like they did.
Jane didn't die young and tragically tho
her style was so impeccable, and her camera presence was magnetic. no matter how much they tried to sculpt her into another Marilyn, she shine through.
She was gorgeously beautiful
Nice to hear something different about her! I’ve always heard people make her out to be a cheap Marilyn knock off.
But this time, I get to see her in such a different light. Thank you 💛💛💛
she was her own person,beaitiful
Just looked her up, I can't believe she's 92.
Me either omg!! I was like wow
and still gorgeous beauty
What a life what an icon! Still looking gorgeous as ever in her 80's 💛
90 s too
Just saw a current picture of her. Very much alive and still stunning!
I've been following her for years. Lovely lady & still youthful!
Your coverage is phenomenal. Thanks for all that you do ❤ I would love to see you cover Beth Milford

Ah, favorite background music while watching. Thx Karine. Big ups to your brother. Love his music channel.
I can’t stand this background song, honestly. Very distracting. I hope she changes it soon. 😂
I liked her as much as Monroe!! I'm glad she had her career on her terms and is still living 👍♥️
Mamie, so beautiful! Thank you for featuring her.
Can't get over how Gwen Stefani looks so much like Mamie❤
I've heard Mamie's name before but knew absolutely nothing about her. What a beautiful woman and her voice 😍 I just found your channel and am loving it, thank you for these videos! I love all the old footage and anecdotes 💜
you did a great job on this
I first heard her name on the Golden Girls and I had to look her up. Not disappointed 💛
As did I! They were always name dropping on that show.
Hi Karine,
Please consider doing Chelo Alonso one day! And Googoosh 😊
Googoosh would be very interesting 🤔
She has been married to Thomas Dixon for 40 years.

Similar happened to Brigitte Bardot, she was deeply affected by Marilyn’s passing. She decided not to go to Hollywood afterwards.
@@superamanda well, no. I’ve read a number of books about BB and she said after Marilyn died, she lost any interest in Hollywood.
I had no idea who Mamie was before watching this. She is so gorgeous (and smart!).
💛 love you Karine!
I didn't know that Mamie sang, and her sound was similar to Elvis.
Well said!! 👏🏼
Mamie is pronounced with a long vowel sound on the "a".
You are right. Thank you for writing this...I was going to post the same. The "a" is pronounced like "may."

Marilyn Monroe died in 1962; Jayne Mansfield in 1967, but not in Hollywood. When did Mamie leave Hollywood?
One of the few who chose life over fame, and saved herself before it was too late.
