  1. :D

    I was going to add that my sister-in-law would claim my brother-in-law, at nearly 80, is a "classic horse's a s s!"

     

    But if you're talking actors, I'd say there are some who've held up very well, at something other than looks......

     

    DENNIS HOPPER for example,  died at age 74, but even at that age, had Dennis been dropped in the middle of a room of twenty and thirtysomethings, would have STILL been the hippest guy in the room!  He maintained that aura of "cool" as well and maybe even better than STEVE McQUEEN did.

    In that case, Bernie Sanders, also 74, must be the Dennis Hopper of politics.

  2. Now, that you mention it, I remember seeing that. I just didn't notice the magazine. So it is around here in my area. I'll look tonight when I hit the grocery store.........

    Hopefully, your grocery store doesn't have a security guard. He'd tell you that the magazines are for buying, not browsing.

  3. So the other day I did a page that looked at the Top 25 Actors from 1950 to 2010...now I am working on the actresses.  Keep feeling I am missing some major ones....any suggestions?

  4. I was wondering this myself, I don't recognize the title and I'm intrigued by the large vintage pic of Doris ca. 1970 with the much smaller pic of present day-Doris; which kind of gives one the impression that Doris has made a very successful deal with The Devil and LOOKS KILLER for 92.

    "Closer" could be the title of a magazine with articles about effective sales techniques.

  5. Wonder what it would be like in US today if we still had draft and had a military of 500,000 "permanently" at war in Irag and Afghanistan?  Of course, for those in it, it is a war in every sense of the word.

    As for Country Joe and the Fish, during WW II they would have been imprisoned or at least never allowed to perform or record.

    I borrowed a tape from another soldier while in Vietnam and made a dupe of it.  Had to play it on one recorder while other one recorded and I set it up in "lounge" of BOQ.  Actually a small building with 10 officers living in it, but most were captains and majors.  When the "Fish" cheer started, they all came out and asked "Did he say what I thought he said?"  I have CD of Vietnam era songs, but the Fish cheer is actually Fish on it.  Doesn't have the same bite.

    There are many rock songs with a Vietnam focus. My favorite is probably CCR's "Run Through the Jungle".

  6.    I already sent this story onto a few I know & it's about *Oscar winner: *Warren Beatty-(l937-)

    & he's said to finally finished his long in the works biography of: Howard Hughes-(l905-l976)

     

    They say that all it really needs is a "title" & may even be ready for release this fall

     

    As I told others, he's not been in a film since 2001's flat (**-out of four at best) "Town & Country" & that he had another passion project even longer, on a rehash of a nice movie from 1947 w/William Powell

    "Mr. Peabody & the Mermaid"

    However, that one dates back even before his epic "Reds" (l98l)

     

     

    Thank You :(

    A remake of that awful William Powell movie? He was passionate about that? He must be getting senile.

  7. Well if we're talking about a man's wallet and not merely just his wallet, I'd say it does matter. Just ask Ava Gardner about Mickey Rooney, she said in her autobiography that he was "loaded" and I'm not talking about money ;)

    She said the same thing about Sinatra. She apparently had a thing for small or skinny guys who were well-endowed. There, I've entered the fray.

  8. I was just responding to Sepia's post.  I don't think the TCM "suits" are staying away from Vietnam because of the contoversy of the war.  I think the programmers are totally absorbed in the WW  II scenario.

    They are totally absorbed because everything about WW II seems heroic from an American point of view, as opposed to 'Nam....There was no WW II equivalent of Country Joe's "Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag".
