I have a friend who continues to be repulsed by the opening scene in Petticoat Junction, where the girls are (presumably) swimming nude in the water tower. I think he might have appreciated a warning of some type, like: DON'T DRINK THE WATER!!
But-----
That's what makes the water WORTH drinking!

Ach! What in the world makes them think we the people would think any cultural depictions in any old, long discontinued TV westerns with story lines that take place roughly a century before those shows were created and produced aren't outdated?

Sorry, but from my observation, comes D-Day, it gets overlooked by most media. much like Pearl Harbor Day has been for some time now. Example----
Nothing in today's newspaper mentioning it. Maybe a few(if that) acknowledgements on a few TV stations. And the History channel had an hour documentary on early this morning. But went directly to COUNTING CARS the minute it was over. I mean---- The HISTORY channel!

I love her very much!
. She is perfect as the saucy nurse in: Witness for the Prosecution (1957).
I could go on and on because she was quite wonderful in every role.
She was great in that role. I wish TCM would more often show the other films they made together.
I tried but couldn't find a clip of their "Frankie And Johnny" duet from "Comets" but found this.

Can't add much to this except a thanks for recalling what this day meant to history and that too often gets overlooked.

I'll add more maybe if more come to mind.

Well, Una O'Connor and Cicely Courtneidge come to mind. Una is probably more common than Uma (Thurman) in any case.
There are also some admittedly lesser-known actresses: Myrna Fahey, Greer Grammer, Charlize Diaz De Leon.
(I assume Merle Haggard doesn't count.) 🙂
O'Connor is the only one I heard of there. And Thurman(Uma) But she was an oversight, as I rarely considered her to be an actress. But then too, that's just a subjective viewpoint.
And no, I don't see how MERLE HAGGARD would wind up on my list of ACTRESSES with odd names!
Unless you know something nobody else ever did?

I don't think I can muster TEN movies I like of his or he was in, let alone "favorites". And LORD LOVE A DUCK certainly cuts that number way down!

I'm guessing he wasn't WONDER WARTHOG, who used to tool around in his late '60's Toronado in reverse with his head out the window looking towards the rear end of the car.
And talk about "Badge engineering", I remember when I worked at the Clark St. Detroit CADILLAC plant, in '72 they had to hold up production of the Eldorado( which was assembled in a plant across the street from where I was working at the time) while waiting for a shipment of chassis' from the Olds Toronado plant to tide them over until their regular shipment finally arrived. Working any job at Eldorado was considered a plum job. one needed much seniority and lips fastened tightly to a foreman's "seat" to get a transfer.

I remember thinking to myself the first I saw her in one of those old series, "WOW! Who IS this gorgeous and glamorous 'older' woman I'm looking at here? BOY, is SHE ever HOT!"
Knowing her mostly by name(at the time) I was surprised to see she was still alive and much younger than I thought she was when she did a guest star role in a MEDICAL CENTER episode in the early '70's.
She is on my list of oddly named actresses. Like:
MYRNA Loy
TALLULAH Bankhead
GREER Garson
UNA Merkel
CYD Charisse.
MERYL Streep
MERLE Oberon (and Dandridge )
CICELY Tyson
CHARLIZE Theron
I have never personally met or heard of any other women with those first names. I don't count Tallulah Willis.

Actually, I've always thought all the various GM brands midsize "A-body" cars from the mid-'60s on through to the early-'70s were some of the best looking and tastefully designed cars to ever come out of Detroit, and not just from the Buick Division.
To split hairs though, Buicks wouldn't have come out of Detroit. They were built in FLINT, MI( until the mid-'90's).
And GM was known for slapping different names on the same body styles. ie; Chevy NOVA, Pontiac VENTURA, Oldsmobile OMEGA( I once owned a '75) and also some of the higher priced spreads.
And for the record----
Mine was powder blue with a white vinyl top.
It got totalled in a wreck in '78, and I replaced it with---
Mine was all black, stock wheels(obviously) And by '83 a lifter got somehow stuck and it started backfiring through the carb and I replaced IT with an '84 Cutlass Supreme that the ex wound up with.

Richard Gere's SECOND attempt to nonsensically Americanize a popular Japanese movie whose basic theme only made sense in its original Japanese concept. [Qv. the American "Shall We Dance?" remake.]
In this case, Hachiko didn't live in a colorful generic small town, he lived in Tokyo, and became so famous for waiting for his master to return from Shibuya station, he now has a much more famous and nationally known statue there. And, a Japanese movie to celebrate the local legend.
All that IS mentioned at the end of the movie. But, regardless of time or place, the story is touching.

Funny but true(I swear)--------
While watching THE BAND WAGON one afternoon many years ago, a buddy of mine, who really never did know much about movies(or much else) dropped by. Looking at my TV screen, he asked, "Wow! Who's that chick dancing there?"( it was a scene where Cyd danced with Astaire) So I told him, "Cyd Charisse." he got a bit upset, replying, "Not the GUY, azzwipe! The CHICK!"
He thought I said "SID"! 
He also didn't know who Fred Astaire was.

Some thought she could act, others not so much. But she danced good enough that I couldn't have cared less.

That would seem to make it the navel. But then, as the location of the "rosebud" I referenced would be, looking face to face, on the OPPOSITE SIDE, makes it a bit confusing.
But I'm reminded of a passage in a book by Joseph Wambaugh ("The Choirboys" I think).
Canvassing witnesses and participants of a huge bar brawl, an officer asks a woman, holding her hand to a knife wound in her lower abdomen, "Did you get stabbed in the fracas?" And the woman answered, "Nah, 'bout two or three inches above it."

I think Kline was more "Himbo" in I LOVE YOU TO DEATH ('90) and SOAPDISH.('91).

Actually, it only makes Clint NINETY today. The only HOGAN I can think of who's 91 is JACK HOGAN, the actor who played Pvt. Kirby on TVs COMBAT series in the '60's. And his birthday is Nov. 24.
If I were you, I'd have someone better at math to go over your checkbook!
OPPS, sorry.
WIKI is slow to update. You're right. Clint is 91. But, what WAS with the HOGAN bit?

I suppose now, they'll have to start calling it "Binary Homemaker".
And BTW---- I was also more attracted to BOBBIE JO, even back when PAT WOODELL played the sexy brunette.
But Lori Saunders was a fine( and I DO mean FINE!) replacement. And I too, always thought it was some kind of "inside joke" that the creators, given that the premise featured three rather well proportioned young ladies, that they came up with the town name of HOOTERVILLE As a kind of "nudge-nudge wink-wink" gag on the censors, who obviously didn't catch on.
