An amazingly full, loving life!
22. Januar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
What impressed me most about this book was how open Dorothy was in sharing her amazing life long love with Lloyd through poetry and photos, so that we can all smile while being given a glimpse at what a great love is. I appreciate her honesty in telling us that it wasn't always easy, but it was always worthwhile. Thank you Dorothy for such an enjoyable, personal book.

Touching tribute to love eternal
23. März 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
To Dorothy, finding a balance for love wasn't easy. She and Lloyd Bridges, with whom she was together for 60 years, had to find space for themselves, with Lloyd's acting career and her determination to be a good mother and housewife, even if it meant having to tamp down her natural creative inclinations. But she had time for her poetry, and every year from the 1930s till the 1990s (and even today) she wrote out a valentine poem for her husband. (There are some touching little valentines on display from Lloyd to Dorothy, but the bulk of the book is her collection of her annual poems from then to now.)
Even after he died she found herself continuing the tradition, and some of the best poems in the book demonstrate her helplessness and the indignity of loss. They are heartbreaking. Heartbreaking too were some of the losses which she frankly describes in this memoir.
Such as the way HUAC came down hard on Lloyd Bridges, forcing him into a graylist until SEA HUNT came about and the whole US public got behind it, effectively telling Senator McCarthy, we don't care about your anti-Communist crusade! Sad too, indescribably so, was the crib death of another of Dorothy's little boys. And she mentions in passing that in fact Lloyd wasn't a perfect husband and that there were occasional affair-ettes on the side (on his part not hers). But all in all it was a reasonable successful alliance by any standard, and many of the valentines attest that one way of measuring success is that the children of the marriage feel loved.
All the surviving children seem very content and very aware that they grew up in a very loving family.

You Must Have this in Your Home!!
6. September 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After looking at some old Sea Hunt episodes on TV.com, I started to reminisce about the first time I saw these shows (at age 13). In one of the episodes "The Lost Ones", Mr. Bridges' wife and son, Jeff, starred along with him. So I started googling Mr. Bridges' life and found that Dorothy Bridges (his wife) was a poet. And so, I purchased "You Caught Me Kissing: A Love Story. This book is one of the most passionate and real love stories I've read. They met in the 1930's, fell deeply in love, and it all started with an unsigned Valentine card from Lloyd "Bud" to his Dorothy. She knew who sent it, and from that day forward, she wrote a Valentine to him every year until her death in 2009. Each poem tells a story about their life and love, through the years, and it's never ending strength that would not break under any circumstance. As you read her poems, you get caught up in their strength as love remains but changes over the years. Their foundation was so strong, it carried them through. Anyone who has been married for a long time, in a relationship, or in love will identify with this beautiful book. I cried by the end of the book because it brought out what lives in my heart, and keep it at my bedside to read now and then. The photos of their life and children are very special. Some of the poems are still in old type form or hand written. What a special family. What a special woman. You won't be dissappointed in this book.
