A rather interesting take on Browne:

HEADLINE: Being frozen in time at age 30 not exactly my idea of heaven
BYLINE: Column by Ray Orrock
BODY:


SOME YEARS AGO, when First Artists Studio made a movie based on an Agatha Christie book, the studio's promotions department thought it would be a nice touch to interview Ms. Christie and get her reaction to the film.

This was not as easy as it might sound, however, since Agatha Christie had died three years earlier.

Undaunted, however, the studio hired a psychic, a Ms. Sylvia Brown, who, by an uncommon stroke of good fortune, was able to contact the spirit of Agatha Christie, who said she thought the movie was terrific and that it would be a big hit. Talk about your lucky breaks.

MS. BROWN claimed she'd had no trouble contacting Agatha, saying it was "like making a phone call to Chicago." But the most startling bit of information to come out of this mini-seance -- for me, at least -- was the revelation that Ms. Christie was no longer 85 years old (her age when she died in 1976), but was now only 30.

And Ms. Brown explained this quite casually. "Everyone," she said, "attains the age of 30 when they pass over."
...
At 30 you are neither young nor old, innocent nor wise, cute nor venerable.

At 30 you have had just enough experience to be expected to do something, but you haven't the faintest idea what it is.

At 30 you are desperately striving to make an impression on the world, and the world keeps springing back to its original shape.

At 30 it seem critically important to find out who you are -- but there doesn't seem to be any place to look it up.

AND NOW I find that, when I kick over, I'm suddenly going to be 30 again. Peachy.
...
If the other side is populated by 30-year-olds, it is a world of political correctness, soft rock, racquetball, fat-free meals, meaningful relationships, astrology charts, designer underwear, latex bike pants and vitamin-enriched shampoos.

And that sure as hell isn't my idea of heaven.

HAHAHA :newlol , thanks QG for another link and post from you.

This time it is not only a post showing what a fake Browne is, it was also plain funny!

"like making a phone call to Chicago" my a$$. :checkmark
 
This should be easy to test. Get someone who know Christie well and have the friend write a short series of questions that only Christie and the friend should know the answers to.

Oh, wait....
 
Humm.....

"MS. BROWN claimed she'd had no trouble contacting Agatha, saying it was "like making a phone call to Chicago." "

With it being so easy, I'm SHOCKED she is not used by police the world over in solving murder cases...let alone gets readings such as Eve Brown or say Holly Krewson (for example) wrong...since they were both dead when she claimed them to be alive.

Everyone is "30" after they have crossed over...not sure how that would work for those that die before that magical age; but hey, what do I know since I don't have her "gift" (yeah, right!)
 
Agatha Chrstie died in 1976, according to Wiki, and the film adaptations made at that time were

1972 Endless Night
1974 Murder on the Orient Express
1974/75 Ten Little Indians
1978 Death on the Nile

Murder was made by Paramount, the 1974 German version of Indians has no such production or distribution firm listed on IMDB and neither does Endless Night.

Matter of fact, "First Artist's Studio" brings up no relevant hits on Google.

...Is there something I'm missing here?

Wikipedia isn't a good source. There are many movies about her. I think the relevant one is Agatha (1979) see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078736/

According to IMDB: First Artists produced Agatha (1979). see: http://www.imdb.com/company/co0040696/
 
Ah. Silly me.

That's too funny that Sylvia Browne was asked to contact Agatha Christie.

If I was in the room when she was doing it, I'd have stopped her and asked her "Ok, if you're contacting her, what are the names of the two husbands Agatha Christie had?" or "Name 100 of the books she wrote!"

Can you hear the long silence?
 
Ms. Christie, what was the original title of Ten Little Indians?

So the newspaper article was inaccurate when it said that the movie was based on a Christie book. If I recall correcly, it was based on - or at least inspired by - a mysterious event in her own life.
 
Yes. I've never seen it but it's based on Agatha Christie's 3 day disappearance when she found out her husband was cheating.

It's a fictionalized version of what might have happened when the truth is that the good dame was most likely in a spa the entire time.
 
Agatha Christie wouldn't give Jaba the time of day.

Think what Miss Marple would have to save about SB...
 
This 30 years old in heaven crap is just more proof that Browne is a demented and evil woman who apparently cannot possibly care about the feelings of her victims.
I would imagine that every parent (who believes in heaven) of a baby or young child who has died would much, much prefer the thought of once again holding their baby/child in "heaven" one day rather than looking forward to meeting up with some 30 year old adult and never having the possibility of seeing them as a baby/child again.
Way to go Sylvia for totally destroying that delusion for some more grieving people.
 
Is "contacting" Agatha Christie the "Contribution to the Planet", or just some cheap publicity for SB?
 
When psychics claim to contact celebrities, like those clowns did with Princess Diana and John Lennon or how Elvis' daughter allegedly hired someone to speak to Elvis or SB and Agatha Christie, someone should seriously stop them and ask them the simplest thing about the celebrity's life that anyone could find but the psychic wouldn't know unless they had looked them up before.

"Diana, what was your mother's name?"
"John, what was your first band's name?"
"Elvis, what are the first 5 notes of "Don't be Cruel" ?"
"Miss Christie, what's your birth name?"

Well that's why in the Sylvia universe most of the people on the other side are babbling idiots. Imagine you're a 5 year old sick in bed. You drop off into feverish sleep and die. You suddenly find yourself in a 30 year old body being pestered by a raspy-voiced woman with talons.
 
Just to clarify the concept of what we are like in Heaven without preaching or whatever.

If you lose a child, then your child will appear to you as you knew them.
Just as if you lost your grandmother, she can appear to you as she was when she left you.

But, the 30 year old concept is just a guideline for what we are like in heaven overall eternally. There is no age in heaven (nor time) but she used 30 to give people an idea of what we're like in our eternal state. We are LIKE we are at 30 here on earth...not a "clumsy" teen or an aching 50 year old. ;)

Can I respectfully suggest that you don't waste any effort in trying to rationalise and support Sylvia Browne's concepts of "heaven" and "afterlife" to anyone? Clearly she has been and still is making up any old guff out of her fetid imagination, just to have something to say to her gullible audience. So to consider for even one second that her babble makes any sense worth perpetrating is a waste of too much of your (and everyone's) time. Perhaps it might be better if you responded with your own thoughts on the matter...much more interesting!
