That’s too bad, a shame he’s going through that. He was a lot of fun on Letterman.
Seeing his name made me think of Joan Embry, who was a regular on the Tonight Show, and I see she’s still with us at age 71.

Has anyone seen him in The Wrong Guy, a parody of Hitchcock wrong man movies? It’s so great and he’s great in it as a bank owner who is going to be foreclosed on by an evil farmer.

Never seen that, but I have seen Disney’s Home On The Range, which is arguably the WORST film in the Walt Disney Animation Studios canon, but he’s in it, and his stuff is pretty good.

So THAT’S why Army Of Darkness was today’s movie over on the “Framed” movie guessing game.
Another birthday today- Todd Rundgren turns 75 today. We went to the same high school.

I’m kicking myself for not posting this earlier, because she’s been such a big part of my life, from Mary Poppins to Victor, Victoria. A promoter of literacy, an angelic voice and a stout backbone, I give you Dame Julie Andrews.

Happy 92nd birthday to Leslie Caron, star of Gigi, The L-Shaped Room, An American in Paris and more…

Leslie Caron was so weak and thin from the malnutrition she suffered in Europe during the war that she could only work every other day when filming An American in Paris. Of course, since Gene Kelly was a supreme dickweed of the highest order, he berated her for it the entire time.

The first movie I saw with her was Father Goose, with Cary Grant. That was a staple of my growing up.

He did that to Debbie Reynolds while filming Singin’ In the Rain too. She only stuck it out because Donald O’Connor was very nice to her.
Gene Kelly seems to have had a problem with women.
