Come on, no Jack Benny fans around here?

According to some members of our esteemed Supreme Court corporations are not only people but they deserve to be nurtured and worshipped.

Joel McCrea, Joel McCrea, never could sing like Dennis Day. -- But Dennis Day never could ride a horse like Joel McCrea either.

Agnes Moorehead was in *Fourteen Hours* with Richard Basehart

*Rabbit, Run*

*Rabbit, Run*

Varner, Eula -- played by Lee Remick in *The Long Hot Summer*

There is a mini Lee Remick tribute on the morning of Dec 15th, but her birthday is on the 14th, maybe somebody goofed. Oh well, its the thought that counts. And also on the 15th, the greatest motion picture of all time , *Mister Roberts* , starring William Powell and a bunch of other guys.

Jack Palance played a very good *Dracula* in a 1974 tv movie, I would like to see him as Jekyll / Hyde.

Jarrett, Verna -- Virginia Mayo in *White Heat*

Conrad, William

*Gunfight At The O K Corral*

Jack Carson

Barbara was very sexy (and funny too) in her comedies *The Lady Eve* and *Ball Of Fire* .

Elaine Stewart was in *Night Passage* with James (Jimmy) Stewart. ---- Ever notice the name of the man who was the boss over Walter Neff and Barton Keyes in *Double Indemnity* ? answer, EDWARD NORTON

Interesting, Rhonda's real name was Marilyn. And she was acting before the other Marilyn started. And Kim Novak was also a Marilyn.

Right now on ebay there is a collection of 60,000 autographed photos of celebrities, asking 1.6 million or best offer. If we all pool our money together, maybe we can bid. Nice to see how these tax breaks for the wealthy are being used to simulate the economy.

Audrey got paired with a lot of old codgers, Cooper, Bogart, Grant. Wonder if she got extra pay for all of that?

About the Mantle story, if its true then the ball has no value assuming that an "expert" will spot the fake signature. The kid has his cherished memory of meeting the star, if he ever finds out about the "joke" his opinion of Mick might change though. Supposedly Ted Williams' son forged a lot of his dad's autographs in his later years. So I guess the personal contact is what I would value most.

Fred, I would have thought you looked like Humphrey Bogart. PS , I do not look like Henry Fonda.

We all have our little hobbies, so I can't say anything bad about autograph collecting except buyer beware when spending big bucks for one. And how does one really authenticate an autograph? For me the only value of an autograph is if its personal; if I had an autograph from someone I met personally or it was handed down to me , like if my grandfather met Babe Ruth and the Babe signed a card for him. And Grandpa gave it to my Dad, who gave it to me. More of a sentimental value, not a dollar and cents one.

Lizabeth Scott and George C Scott. --- James Gleason and Jackie Gleason

Diane Lane, Priscilla Lane and their uncle Charles Lane.

Just off the top, my favorite ladies include Barbara Stanwyck, Carole Lombard, Olivia D (so far we're in sync james), Ingrid Bergman, Myrna Loy, Lee Remick, Jean Peters, Jeanne Crain, where do I stop? Oh, and a gal named Noel Francis.

Lets see, in 1958 James Stewart was 50, Kim was 25. In 1955, William Holden was 37 (and just a few years out of college in *Picnic* ) while Kim was only 22 (playing an 18 - 19 year old). I think the age difference is a bit of a stretch in both cases. A forty year old can maybe play 30, but not a recent college grad of 22 or 23. And its also about pairing the male and female leads, if they are supposed to be of reasonably close age , maybe 6 or 7 years tops. Unless the age difference actually plays into the story. We know Hollywood has always been a lot more generous to the men on the age issue then the women. Women "show" their age more then the men, at least in the movies.
