Well, I guess you didn't get my joke about the lasagna!
Actually, that really happened. Bourdain was a guest judge on an episode of Top Chef a few years ago. He was very insulting to an Italian chef, Fabio Viviani telling him his lasagna was awful. Fabio told Bourdain off and yelled at him on the show. Of course your cannoli story ( shades of Godfather 3, when Connie bumped Eli off with the poisioned cannolli) and my Lasagna story are jokes.
Kidding aside, I just think the circumstances are odd and I'll keep my thoughts to myself about this.

Oh c'mon, not funny. It is sad about his death. Actually, I was thinking it's a lot more sinister than over a bad cannoli. Years ago on Top Chef i heard him tell an Italian Chef how horrible his Lasagna was. That's more of a reason than the cannoli. lol
btw, I don't pay any attention to that horrible group of nuts you refer to in your post. I would never, ever pay any attention or go to their website. I think you know me better than that after all these years.

He played Sonny Corleone and he is from Sunnyside Queens. Loved the interview. I didn't get to see the segment on Anthony Bourdain (also part Jewish - mother's side). I remember Caan on Las Vegas (when he left, Tom Selleck took over). I first saw him (and cried) in Brian's Song. He was very candid about his drug use and how proud he is of his son, Scott. Liked seeing the clip of the 2 of them together on the Hawaii Five-O reboot. Maybe Caan can go to one of the NCIS or Law & Order franchises (Organized Crime). Or give him a Blue Bloods spin off.
Lavender, on the segment on Albert Hall, was that Roger Daltry she was talking to? Caan has aged better. Caan is one of those actors who should have won many awards (including an Oscar but never did).
Yes, Roger Daltry. there's a 4 year difference between Daltry and Caan and I think at that age it shows. Caan is 81, Daltry 77 and yes Caan looked pretty good for his age.
Very sad watching the Bourdain segment, I don't know, never made any sense and a little part of me thinks there might be more to that story.

Just watched the interview on Sunday Morning. Very enjoyable. Love James Caan, excellent actor and interesting man. His role as Sunny in the Godfather, makes most think Caan is Italian. He's Jewish and from Queens.
Ben did a good job with the interview. It's a limited time slot and the interview managed to give us a good glimpse into Caan and his career. Ben asked some good questions and didn't talk much, letting Caan have center stage. Hope James Caan gets to play more roles in films and tv.

This actor was a radio performer, appeared on Broadway, in films and probably most known for his tv work. He had an almost 50 year career in entertainment. He was in Disney films and had a recurring role on a very popular and long running classic tv comedy and a "role" in another popular tv show besides all the guest apprearances in comedies, dramas, game shows. Actor and at least 2 tv shows he was known for and extra forthe Broadway show he was in and the Disney productions ?????????????

Multiple times. Season two is the best, the first episode being an especially great episode. It's starts to go from great to good by five but by then you're committed. Thing to do is watch season one episode one after you get to the end. The transformation of the characters is amazing.
I was addicted to The Sopranos when it was on years ago. I've seen every episode although not in a long time. One of the best was the episode Pine Barrens during season 3. One of the best tv shows ever in my opinion. MissW, stick with it, it's worth the time spent watching. the writing, the acting, the music, the locations, everything about this show was top notch. Yes it's violent, but then the dialogue and the humor are so witty and clever. There is too much to talk to talk about because so many characters are so interesting. Tony's relationship with Dr. Melfi, his relationship with his mother, his wife, his children, his crew.
I'm a sucker for gangster type films and tv shows but even if I weren't, The Sopranos imo was a brilliant show.

Bonfire of the Vanities - Now Showing on TCM
A 30 year old satirical depiction of PC corruption gone wild which has come to be reality in 2021. Hanks, a wealthy white man is railroaded for a crime never committed by a race baiting religious huckster and a district attorney concerned with his career more than truth and justice.
The movie would be unwatchable were it not for how unintentionally timely it is and for Bruce Willis being Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith being Melanie Griffith, both of whom are always solidly just above mediocre. OH, and Morgan Freeman, the judge presiding over the fraud of a case has a moment to shine at the end, and does.
Julie Salamon, Ben's guest host was a real treat. Looking forward to hearing more from her.
I'm probably the only one here but I enjoyed Bonfires and if you listened to what Julie Salamon said in the outro, she liked Bonfires of the Vanities too. She said it was a fun film and I agree. The film has it's faults, Melanie, Kim Cattrall, F. Murray Abraham's performances were a little too over the top but the film held my attention and I think all the criticism it received was too harsh and not deserved.
I agree Moe, sadly, the film is very timely, but I found the film very watchable

Gale Gordon is the guy Princess. Baby Boomers saw a lot of him on tv. Funny guy. Wonder if Gale Gordon would have been as funny as William Frawley as Fred Mertz. I think I'm glad it turned out the way he did although Gale Gordon was an excellent character actor. Good work and quick Princess, your thread.

About 7years ago, I watched The Blue Veil on youtube. Years ago MoMA showed The Blue Veil I believe in a retrospective, so a copy does exist out there. I wonder if MoMA would have any info about the film. You might try contacting the film dept. in the museum.

Thanks Shutoo
next
This character actor was popular on the radio and then appeared on hit tv shows. Easily recognizable since he was frequently cast in very popular tv shows. He was offered a role in one of the most iconic tv shows in the classic time period but had to turn it down since he was already cast in another popular show. He did get to work many times with the star of the show he had to turn down. He replaced another actor in another popular tv show.
Actor, what tv show did he have to turn down and the role and the tv show he did instead, What tv show did he replace an actor in, who did he get to work with many times and name the tv shows the 2 were together in ????????????????????????

shutto, I've tried for a couple of days to get 12. I know I've have seen her many times but just can't remember. If you mean the blonde stars name is in the title, I've thought about Ann Sothern, Betty Hutton, Glynis Johns, Inger Stevens , Dinah and June Allyson didn't have sit coms. Is it one of these? Maybe time to give another helpful hint or wrap this one up . Thanks
