It's a normal reflex to shed tears if you laugh hard enough.
Dan Brown ran out of conspiracy theories?

The discussion in the Carol Lynley thread involving 60s comic actresses who seemingly just vanished into thin air was the catalyst for this. Just simply name some screen personalities who you never feel received the stardom that they deserved, or the roles, or momentum. Can be past or present, or someone working both now and then.
This one shot child actress, Eva Maria Singhammer did just that (fell off the face of the Earth) after appearing in the German version of "Heidi "(1965)

Whaddaya talkin' here, Sepia? Whaddaya mean "eaten by" a sabertooth tiger?
Heck, I was always under the impression that sabertooth tigers were considered and treated by their contemporary proto-humans of their day just as we modern humans consider and treat your garden variety house cat?!
YOU know! Just like we see here...
That TV series has a much better end title than most Hollywood movies!

One of the most ridiculous uses of the disclaimer was the 1978 movie "The Greek Tycoon". In the movie, the widow (Jacqueline Bisset) of assassinated U.S. President James Cassidy (James Franciscus), marries an aging Greek shipping tycoon, played by Anthony Quinn. She wants to get away from the high profile and politically powerful Cassidy family. In this movie, President Cassidy's brother had even been his Attorney General.
Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Yeah, right!
I have this comedy LP about the marriage and life of those 2. Can't figure out for the life of me what Aristotle and JFK have in common!

Now now, Sepia. Remember here, that aforementioned disclaimer DOES include the words, "any person living OR dead", now doesn't it?!
And it DOESN'T mention anything at all about how long the person or persons HAVE been dead, now does it?!
(...and so any lawyer worth his salt knows to cover all his bases, ya know)
Read past the 5:52 time mark.
Maybe John Goodman is defaming all cavemen, none can be that stupid.

The disclaimer which usuually at the end credits is to protect the studio from unwarranted law suits. Someone can claim they are referring to me / slandering, etc.
There is a recent lawsuit filed by Andrew Greene for defamation claims he is the inspiration for the character Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff in the film "The Wolf of Wall Street". Andrew is a former stockbroker whom once worked at the brokerage depicted in the film
Think it has not been resolved.
More info regarding All persons fictitious disclaimer here.

The TV episode that had me thinking about this was the "Law and Order - Sick" about a toy mogul whom invite kids to his place. Was painfully obvious whom the producers was referring to but is protected by the disclaimer.
(seems someone was thinking the same thing - source of the photo)

A friend whose opinion I respect really speaks glowingly. I said, "Really?" I am immediately suspicious of any Best Picture Award (it was Dances with Wolves that made me that way) and Mel Gibson was acting so like such a futz back then, I happily excluded it from my mental movie shelf. I might reconsider. You seem to like it ... sort of.
I waited 24 years, lol. Was interested in the story of William Wallace.
Films like "Braveheart" and "300" is a mix of history and fiction (what else is new).
Some seems to think Mel gave a good performance.

Cesar Romero was great in the Batman TV series but please leave politics to the Off Topics forum. There's enough threads there to post that.

Jack Nicholson in the 1989 "Batman" is my favorite.

Finally got around to watch "Braveheart" (1995) Sunday night. Never was interested in the movie thinking it was just another generic medieval flick until the "What on Earth" TV series said it was based on William Wallace. Was discussing landscape features, castles regarding him and the legendary King Author.
Since nothing else was on, why not. Movie is good with a couple of humorous scenes. Longshanks tossing that so called military tactics know-it-all out the window was a riot.

Speaking of which, where DID Moe get the idea to wear a wig like that?
I mentioned the joke going around about LARRY being the Father of "love child" ART GARFUNKEL, but a bit earlier, we all joked about THE BEATLES "stealing" their hair-do idea from MOE!
But of course, at that time most of us have yet to hear of or even SEE ISH KABIBBLE.

One of the 1920's hair styles.
The Beatles were at the end of "Beatnik" era by when they chose the Mod hairstyle, which evolved from the iconic Teddy boy appearance of the ’50s
I loved when some of the old timers criticizing them for the long hair even though The Beatles wore suits. Certainly looked far better than what's to come.

Going by the photos above, it looks like Moe's daughter Joan.
It is. Joan as an adult.

The reason I said early 80s is because the image that was posted earlier in the thread mentions the Knotts-Conway film THE PRIVATE EYES which came out in 1980. So I assumed this one was released afterward. But maybe it is because this image is from the DVD cover, which was obviously created after 1980.
Like I said I had never heard of THE PRIZE FIGHTER before. Isn't it better for someone to learn about a film than to quibble about the year it was made, especially if it's only a short time before what I had said?
It says "From the makers of The Private Eyes" on the DVD cover. The movie was released 1979.

'Star Trek' First Aired Episode: THR's 1966 Review

Like to remind "The Cage" (1964) was the first Star Trek (pilot). Kirk of course is better than Pike.
Thank you Lucy for giving Gene Roddenberry a chance.
