A man whose loving presence and reassuring devotion gave us some of the most incredible LadyWatching of all time, and whose fierce mission to educate the world on the subject of his industry's past became the best crash course in film studies that basic cable could buy for any of us. The man of a thousand Ladies, Rambling Reporter and Mr. TCM himself, Robert Osborne.

Ryan and Jason pay tribute to a fallen Lady: a woman whose raw vocal talent colored many of the great classical musical theatre roles, and later created a career out of painting the great American songbook with same color and depth.

A woman who we hope found the happiness she sought for so many years outside of the grind that is Hollywood's sausage factory, Ms. Erin Moran.

A bright and shining star of television (in both black and white and living 1970s color), a Lady producer who made television on her own terms and also created many opportunities for other Ladies, a brilliant comedic and dramatic actress alike, tireless advocate for multiple causes, the world's favorite toothy turn-on, the one and only Mary Tyler Moore.

Ryan and Jason pay tribute to a fallen Lady: the irascible and irrepressible force of fame and fortune, the enduring and glamorous empty calories of the old Hollywood publicity machine, one third of the most famous trio of sisters to ever come out of Hungary, everyone's dahlink, Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Fox sets the record "straight" about her male strip club, Rita Moreno wants her Lady sex on TV, and much much more! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!

Ryan and Jason pay tribute to two significant Ladies losses: Without a doubt, the most shocking and heartbreaking and maddeningly beautiful memorial we've ever had to publish. Two Ladies who have been central to the show since the very beginning of LadyWatch. Two Ladies whose own relationship and perseverance through innumerable highs and lows is the stuff that movies are (and were) made of. Two Ladies who conquered personal obstacles again and again to come out on the other side better and stronger than ever. Two Ladies who showed the world what being a survivor really means, and in an industry that is about as sexist and agist as they come. Our newly canonized Patron LadySaints of Mothers and Daughters, intertwined now for all of eternity, our beloved Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher.
