[I'd Rather Stick Needles in My Eyes Than Watch.....]

Any disaster movie other than Airport (1970). When I saw Paul Newman AND Steve McQueen in, not only A disaster film, but the SAME disaster film.. that was it for me. I recognized the Dark Side when I saw it - and they had joined. My feelings are, all these big stars (fading, exes, and those on the cusp) are just doing extended cameos, and the reason the films are so long is that there are so many of these stars which require so many extended cameos.

 

Whenever I have forced myself to watch pieces of these, I have always felt sorry for those stars who are, in my mind, performing exaggerated tv roles.

 

Like the tv commercial of the (once) great Orson Welles hawking a brand of Japanese copier machines that no one had ever heard of. Just sad.

 

.. IMO

thanks, lavender

 

Okay, who recognizes the man on the LEFT....

(who also was more active on screen in his younger days)

 

            I'm pretty sure I know this guy. If I'm right, I've seen several

                of his "younger" shows and films in the past 2 weeks.

 

I'll let others have a shot at this one

[Actors whose careers you are at a loss to account for]

The name sounds familar, but no image comes to mind.

I always kinda viewed her as a cross between Donna Reed and Janet Leigh. Appearance-wise.

Yep! I've said for years that IF Marilyn Monroe would have made it to her "golden years", she would have looked JUST like Natalie Schafer.

...

..and maybe Marilyn didn't die afterall... Marilyn IS Natalie Schafer!

He was on the set of Frankentein, just hanging out, when the make-up man (working on Karloff's neck) reached his arm out without looking back saying, "Pass me that TORx wrench, will ya?"

[Orson Welles is 100 years old today]

Although the blogger feels sorry for Mr. Welles' unfortunate positions, there are some good clips and interviews here which may be enjoyed without negativity from the host blogger.

To get to the really good stuff, you must fast forward to the end of the commercials

                              - there you will find some treasures

[Dive Bomber (1941)]

I believe most or all were used as trainers. Our Navy had quite a few of those yellow beasts.

 

We did have mono-winged aircraft prior to this:
