I'd rather sit down to dish with Tony than hang out with Robert Cummings and talk about vitamins - you bet Tony would've been a LOT more entertaining!

He had his faults, but Tony was open and very giving to his fans and he never made excuses for himself.

Check out this wonderful tribute to Tony at Life.com:

It really is. We came so close to having him dine with all of us guest programmers,
and what a treat that would have been. I just clicked on some random internet site
about him and it listed all these events he was scheduled to appear at in the coming
months. It was sad to see. But he was a PARTY BOY and lived, lived, lived. Goes
to show you being careful, starving yourself, avoiding alcohol and heaven knows what
isn't any kind of guarantee. :D :D

I'll tell you I had a previous near encounter with him back when I lived in L.A. when
a friend of his invited me to a party at Curtis' house. This was at least 15 years ago,
so he was still partying hard. I didn't go and now I regret it. It would at least be a great
story now. :D

It's wonderful that TCM gave you that memory, a real part of movie history now.

Miss Goddess, now that you mention it...I just pulled out my autographed picture that TCM sent me. He looks very dashing in the photograph.

Sad.

Yes, I've been thinking about that all morning.....I think that is the way to go - if you had a choice. Knowing you are loved and appreciated.

Sad to read of his passing.

I'm glad you like them. :D

I suddenly realized that Don Taylor was in a lot of movies I liked too, and that he had an easy charm that is hard to resist. Nice choice!

Sorry .

That's from Ambush. The actor with him is unidentified, as is the shoe-polisher. :D

Thanks for the Don Taylor montage, a particular favorite of mine, but sadly almost forgotten today. Probably best known for being the groom in Father of the Bride. I liked him in The Naked City, Battleground and The Flying Leathernecks, too (where he played a Texan with a suspiciously New York-ish accent!)

The photo where he is in western cavalry uniform, what movie is that?
