Did they remember to leave a three inch square area at the base of his spine to keep his skin from suffocating?
Eeh! You've just been watchin' way too many James Bond flicks, slayton!

"I'm Getting' Married in the Mornin" would be a good song for Anne Boleyn's husband!
LOL
Yeah, come to think of it you're RIGHT!
(...but FIRST, maybe a particular selection from the Herman's Hermits repertoire...and I THINK you know which one I'm talkin' about here, doncha?!)
-
Or as Stanley Holloway used to sing:
I can see why Stanley is MUCH better remembered for, "I'm Gettin' Married in the Mornin'", Swithin!
(...'cause THAT one is MUCH catchy-er!!!)

Where is Miss Wonderlyloo (or whatever her name is now)? She got all in a state recently because the "death in film" thread went off topic. Now her thread about the TCM auto censor has gone way off, to subjects such as Al Sharpton! C'mon Miss W, baby, say something!
LOL
Yep! Well there goes THIS thread heading for the Admin's chopping block and just like poor old Anne Boleyn.
(...or just like that first "Gay Marty" thread anyway!!!)
LOL

I wanna see 2001: a space odyssey smileboxed for monkey chucks bone sakes.
You and your "smilebox" thing, ND. Sorry, but I just don't get your affinity for it.
(...but lemme guess here...it's kinda like that OTHER thing you have for Big Duke playing Genghis Khan, RIGHT?!!!)
LOL

Here comes another of my "famous" analogies here:
Cinerama was to movie production and exhibiting as Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" was to aviation.
In other words, too complex and grand a design for the technologies of the time to make totally practicable
(...how was THAT one?!)

I was a bit too young when The Fugitive aired but I do remember it being on and being watched in my household. I did see an episode on you tube recently which guest starred Lois Nettleton. Good stuff.
Anyway, there is an urban legend that Janssen was the love child of Clark Gable. True? I don't know but he did kind of resemble him, I think. I do know that Gable fathered Loretta Young's daughter. At least according to the daughter.
Didn't Peter Falk marry his widow Dani?
Yep, just an urban legend, yogiboo. There of course was somewhat of a resemblance between Janssen and Gable, with the most striking of course being those ears.
I remember when there was talk of casting Janssen as Gable in the 1976 biopic "Gable and Lombard" for a while, but I think he passed on the project, and the producers would go with James Brolin instead.
(...and re his widow Dani, she would go on to marry action movie director Hal Needham for a while, not Peter Falk)

Anybody remember how ,,Inspector Gerard'' was constantly dogged by people who pleaded to him in favor of Dr Kimble?
Well sure. After Dr. Kimble(or whatever name he was using at the time) saved your life, your love, or your career while passing through town, OF COURSE you'd sing his praises to anybody who'd listen...and ESPECIALLY to that martinet, Lt.(not Inspector) Gerard!!!

Disco pretty much ruled the charts in 1978 and 1979. The Bee Gees had something like six Number 1 hits in that period, and Donna Summer something like 4, plus several other Top 5 hits. Many other artists in this genre were having hits. Mid 1979, the Disco S u c K s campaign starts, reacting against the music as being the "other": blacks, latinos, gays, a.Chicago dj has a massive bonfire of disco records at a.stadium during a sporting event, and soon Disco is labeled as passe. In the next year or so, many of these disco artists lose their commercial success, and the music returns to the clubs. Soon new names are coined for the music, Hi NRG, freestyle, etc. leading to house and techno by the end of the 80s. But it continued to be dance music, evolving from 70s disco, with new names to try to hide these origins.
So in OTHER words Arturo, my earlier little "Crossover vehicles are ONLY called that now days because the term 'Station Wagon" is now considered SOOO friggin' 'un-hip' " analogy to this whole "Disco/Dance/House Music" thing was right...RIGHT???!!!
LOL

LOL

Sooo. We've made a prisoner exchange at the northern border:
PROGRAMING IDEA: "MISTAKEN IDENTITY"
for
LOOKALIKES?
Well, we COULD keep the "Mistaken Idenity" thread goin' too ya know Kid, because that one, as far as I know, was really supposed to be less about actors lookin' alike and more about how some people confuse two actor together for whatever reason, and often when they really don't even look that much alike.

Ona Munson

Just imagine ANYONE famous perched on the toilet, and your opinion of that person will drop considerably.
"TOILET"???
Dude, that wasn't exactly what I WAS imagining her "perched" upon!!!
LOL

I was wonderin' when you'd chime in here, Doc!
Just thought of another Janssen story here...well, sort of anyway.
Just about the time of his death, I met an attractive young lady in a bar and struck up a conversation with her. When I asked what she did for a living and she said she was trying to break into The Biz as an actress but in the meantime did a lot of valet parking at Hollywood parties. I then asked if she had any juicy stories to tell about that, and she replied that she had recently spent an hour outside one of those parties talking to David Janssen after he had evidently gotten bored with the proceedings inside.
She went on to say that she felt kind of sorry for him as she got the impression that he wasn't a very happy guy, though she added that he was a gentleman with her at all times, and wasn't all THAT drunk.
-
Ok, it worked. Thanks, guys !
(But...how did you know?Did you just figure it out, or did TCM email you an instruction book when they Changed?)
Nah. They sent a whole pamphlet out by snail-mail, MissW. Didn't you get YOUR copy???
LOLNah, I think I read how to do this after I re-registered, and in one of the threads in the "Message Board Problems" forum located near the bottom of the Main Menu of forums.

I also idolized adults who drank heavily.
"AAAH, Yeash. Especially if they were from Philadelphia, RIGHT my boy?!"
-
Moved to the reinstated "Lookalikes" thread.
-
And which one is the image icon???
The 11th one from the left. It looks like a little TV set with a blue-colored screen or an old Polaroid snapshot. Move your cursor over it and it'll say "Image" just before you click on it.
-
Sorry ladies, but I have NO idea what you're talkin' about here. Posting pix within threads has never been easier than it is now.
Just hit that "image" icon up there, paste the URL address of whatever pic you're wanting to post, hit "ok", and VOILA, it should work.
(...it's workin' just fine for ME anyway)

Not only did I like David Janssen in "The Fugitive", and when as a 11-15 y/o, my parents would let me stay up late until 11pm on Tuesday(and a school) night to watch his Dr. Richard Kimble seek the elusive real killer of his wife, but I wanted to BE David Janssen back then TOO, 'cause he was JUST so friggin' cool. And, for a while I even affected that little quick one-side of his face grin thing he'd do. LOL
Years later in the late '70s and when I was a ticket counter agent at LAX for the old Hughes Air West airlines, I spotted my old idol walking past our ticket counter during a slow time of day. I fixed my gaze upon him and he must have noticed that, as he turned and said to me, "Hi. Slow day, huh?!"(and yeah, as I recall he DID do that little one-sided grin thing as he said it), and I was so startled that all I said in return was, "Aaah, YEAH, it is!"
Yep, he was one cool dude alright, and one of the three of my "idols" as a kid...the others being Steve McQueen and William Holden, ironically all three of whom would also die fairly young in age and around the same time in the very early 1980s, and with Janssen and Holden both unfortunately being very heavy drinkers which contributed to their early demises.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ONA MUNSON (1903 - 1955) suicide
Oooh. Now that they've reinstated the old "Lookalikes" thread, I'll have another to post over there now, Joe...
Ona here AND Ruth Warrick!
(...thanks!)

I for one felt that Larry Storch turned in a stellar performance.
Seriously though, I love those star-studded disaster flicks! Where else can you see Myrna Loy and Erik Estrada in the same film?
Then I guess you must've missed Myrna's guest appearance on "CHiPs" then, EH?!
Yeah, Ponch and Jon pull her over in her '76 Oldsmobile Cutlass(hmmm...or was that a Buick Skylark?...my memory's not what it used to be, ya know...but I digress) for a DUI, and her excuse to them is that she's doin' a reprise of her Nora Charles role for a TV Movie of the Week and was just practicin' for the part!
