Three actress I have always loved to watch are Katherine Hepburn, Lucille Ball and Marlo Thomas. These three had a real ability to make you laugh, but they were amazing dramatic actresses as well!
In the 1980s these three starred in 4 spectacular made-for-TV movies. Thankfully these movies were not forgotten, but were collected on a 2 disc DVD set.

Viewers are so used to seeing these actresses in their youth. Whether it be Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy, Marlo Thomas in That Girl or Katherine Hepburn in films like Bringing up Baby. But with this collection it is so cool to see that in the later years of their careers that they can still act, and act as good if not better than ever.
Sadly these films are not available on any streaming service. The only way you can watch them is to rent each of them on Prime Video for $3.99 or buy them for $17.99 each. This is why I am such a big supporter physical media.
I bought this DVD for $10 and now I own it forever! See Streaming services go out of business or they loose the right to stream a movie and suddenly a movie or TV series you love is suddenly gone. A company can't take away the DVD or Blu-ray disc you own.
I wish I could suggest a site for you to pick up a copy of this amazing DVD set for yourself but sadly at the time of this righting I could not find one available for purchase anywhere. But if you can ever find a copy I highly suggest you pick it up. It is hours of entertainment!
