Wrong, wrong, wrong. But not unexpected. My mother and my sister both drove Dodge Darts and they were not working men.

Probably because he roomed with Al Gore in college? I like Tommy Lee Jones' performances.

Be glad you don't live in the South as it will only get worse here. The college from which I graduated was founded in part in order to provide a trained military body to suppress any potential slave uprisings. Most of the campus buildings are named after Confederate officers. Also, the good "Christians" raised cane with Chrysler Corporation re: the Dodge Demon (based on fantastic Dodge Dart). Forced them to change the name. Ironically, Chrysler is bringing it back apparently. Now it is the Challenger SRT Demon.

The name of a public, taxpayer supported facility has nothing to do with his abilities as actor, mediocre as they really were. Hey, I like John Wayne movies for pure entertainment value. Have several on DVD. That is how it became John Wayne airport to begin with - politics. Thinking more of the people making connections or layovers. But still it would be reassuring to know you are on the right plane.

I prefer airports named after the city where it is located or the region. Let's travelers know where they are actually going for one thing. I remember years ago (probably hasn't changed) when people would not know where Greenville or Spartanburg SC were, but they did know where Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport was. It's between the two cities. The pre-GSP airport for Greenville is now the Greenville Downtown Airport.

No, only that the debate over naming something after him is similar to the one re: public monuments to the Confederacy.

Sort of my point about not naming things after people. Also tends to support letting the people of Orange Co. change the name of John Wayne Airport. Who named it that to begin with? This whole discussion also mirrors the national debate over removing Confederate statues, names and so forth. Same concept.

A person's "political leanings" and other personal aspects of life should definitely have something to do with naming a public and/or publicly supported facility after someone. Other than acting and making a lot of money in the process, what did John Wayne actually contribute to Orange County, California or the US?

A far better actor than John Wayne. She earned her Oscar, whereas he got his out of sympathy and as a sort of life-time achievement award.

Not to change the direction (much), but it sort of parallels this discussion. First, many "Confederate" soldier statues were almost mirror images of "Union" soldier statues. Same companies produced and erected both. Second, if "Confederate" soldier monuments should be removed because they are insensitive and so forth, what about removing the Union soldier monuments because they are insensitive to some Southerners or other descendants of Confederate soldiers? So, I recommend we remove all monuments to everybody, every group, ad infinitum.

Anyone else remember that they changed the name of Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy and there was a protest over it. So they changed it back to Cape Canaveral, but the location of the Kennedy Space Center.

No, just not after people. Of course that also is problematic. For instance Washington National Airport would be named for city or first president? Yeah, I know. It is officially Reagan.

Lifelong in the Deep South state of South Carolina. With relatives in Louisiana and Arkansas.

One of the problems with naming items after people is that things change as time evolves. My personal philosophy is that items should be named after people ONLY if they directly and personally contributed more than 50% of the cost of the thing. Especially for public items. Best case scenario is that we just stop naming things after people. As for changing John Wayne airport, he was the one who decided to engage in controversial and often hypocritical political positions. And as Lawrence said, it is up to the people in that area to decide, not us. Definitely not for people in politically incorrect South.

OK, tell us about the "female jungle." Surely it takes more than two women to make a "jungle."

As I have said before, they need to determine the awards 3 years after the movie comes out. Let all the hoopla and buzz die down. Of course, the studios will still do their politicking, advertising, campaigning and arm twisting.

Weren't all posters for similar movies from this period sleazy? Just like the covers on pulp fiction books. I have been watching the Honey West TV series and Irene Hervey is one of the three main actors. I think she plays Honey's aunt(?), but sort of takes care of the office/home where Honey lives.

I remember when this first came to TCM or AMC and I anticipated enjoying it. Not so much. The title song is very good though.

I'm a Julie Adams fan and I enjoyed the movie, but only because I went to a military college. As I recall it was not that good of a movie. Adams did not have a distinguishing role and Heston was mediocre. Relating to little children is not what Heston does well.

Watched third episode - probably be the last I watch. Just not that interesting.

Corinthian leather.

One of the over the air stations was showing those shows last year. I watched two or three just because of Julie Adams. Unfortunately she couldn't save the shows. Don't know if was the writing, Jimmy Stewart or the plot in general, but just not appealing to me. It did stay on for a year or more though.

Not the only one, but thought it interesting that she was either Julie or Julia Adams. Regardless, she was a fine actress.

Missed that.

Julie Adams (AKA Julia Adams) passed on Feb. 3 per the TCM site. Most famous role was in Creature From the Black Lagoon, but also appeared in many others and on TV. She was 92.
