#9 looks more like Lee Majors to me (although at first I thought it was Dan Blocker)...but #8 looks nothing like Lee Majors

#17 - is that Chuck Connors? He's not tall enough..but I figured since Johnny Crawford is next to him, perhaps it's Chuck Connors from Rifleman?

I was disappointed with men's figure skating. I think none of those skaters deserved a medal. The kid who won gold fell a few times, but the other skaters fell even more times. And these are supposed to be the best figure skaters?

I never see anyone sneeze, cough, **** or blow their noses in a movie.

Saw East of Eden on TCM last night. It's a great film. James Dean was fascinating in the movie. The few times he left the screen, couldn't wait till he came back on.

Curious what you think of Brando once you see him in On the Waterfront - I think that's one of the best films and easily, one of the greatest performances by a male actor in a film that I've ever seen.

Great list Speedracer! Brando's my favorite actor though.

Love the show COMBAT. I saw on youtube the only interview Vic Morrow ever did. It was from back in the 1960's. Great video. He seemed like a quiet, very nice man. I like the vintage stuff you can see on youtube.

Brando, Marlon

Thanks for these photos. The photo of Vic Morrow is great. He was a very handsome man in his younger days.

Never saw, or heard, an actor/actress pass gas in a film. While driving, the driver is always looking and talking to the passenger for a long time, and never looks at the road, and never bangs into anything The homes are always clean in a movie, never a piece of paper or mail or junk in sight. Does a woman on film ever where white, cotton, brief underpants - also known as "elephant pants"? Do you ever see an actor/actress pick their nose in a movie?

What's wrong with June Allyson? She made great Depends undergarments commercials.

Great post speedracer. The Porsche Dean was driving was like a tin can, coupled with him not wearing a seatbelt and the brunt of the collision was on the driver's side - he didn't have a chance. The passenger was thrown clear of the car, while Dean was trapped in the car and had a broken neck and other severe injuries. I never understood how the other driver was cleared of wrongdoing. Sure, it was an accident, but Dean had right of way and the other driver made a turn in front of him - clearly the other driver was at fault.

I don't think Dean was speeding. I read he was given a speeding ticket shortly before the accident. He also had the right of way and that other driver didn't see the small gray car as it blended into the horizon and he made a left turn in front of Dean's car. I don't think Dean was wearing a seat belt either. Does anyone know? Dean had the right of way - don't think he was at fault - but it was a tragic accident.
