>I recall reading all the rumors about Ken Osmond. Turns out he was actually an L.A. cop. Yikes, that's almost as scary as being Alice Cooper or John Holmes.
Eeh, not really Mr.F.
(...UNLESS of course he was assigned to the Hollenbeck Division back in the day, OR say if after being pulled over, you happen to be one of those types with a penchant to disregard orders while high on narcotics and step out of your Hyundai after bein' asked NOT to!..yep, THAT could be "scary" alright, I suppose!!!
LOL

Well Tom, I've never been one to cry at weddings, but I gotta admit THIS one does kinda bring a tear to my eyes whenever I watch it...

Nope, THAT was true. I was conceived in beautiful Kelowna BC, but my unwed biological mother(with whom the last few years I've had the great good fortune to reconnect and now have a wonderful "new family" up there in Canada) came to Los Angeles in 1952 and where a private adoption was arranged with two wonderful people who would become my parents....and who would spoil me rotten!
(...in other words, I've pretty much lived a charmed existence..i.e.: I'm one "LUCKY bastard"!!!)
-
Ah HA!!! It seems I have at least ONE person fooled around here that I'm a "nice guy", anyway!
Hey Twink! I also have a very nice bridge I'll sell ya that spans two boroughs of New York City!
(...juuuuust kiddin' of course...ya see the point is here that IF one can't laugh at themselves, then they really have no business laughing at anyone else, right?!...and no, I really don't considered myself a "bastard" in the pejorative sense, THOUGH of course this is always open to debate among those in my social circle)
-
Probably not, willbe.
(...but then again, you know how us bastards can be sometimes, dontcha?)
-
Dude! Are you sure that that's not Edward Arnold in drag???
(...okay...maybe not)
-
"Strange" you'd bring this guy up here, Miles.
(...as in "Glenn", of course)
-
Yeah, that's true, Fred. BUT, as I hope you observed, there were absolutely NO errors in EITHER spelling OR grammar anywhere to be found in the SprocketMan's reply to you!!!
(...so, AT LEAST give him THAT, huh?!)
LOL
-
Hey Sepia, you forgot to mention THIS guy here...
...which of course would be Paul Muni in the biopic Juarez .
-
That's pretty darn specific there, Sepia.
(...btw, and just for the record here..yep, as an adopted "illegitimately born" child, I was born a bastard, BUT as you probably know, many many "legitimately born" people in the world seem to work very hard all their lives at becoming one!)
-
Absolutely!
(...couldn't agree more)
-
Just the wages of a misspent youth...as the class clown, my dear.
(...and some kids never grow up, ya know!)
-
Yeah twinkeee, I think that picture of Jack Kruschen IS of him holding an apartment key from the movie "The Apartment"...'cause I don't remember him bein' in the movie "The Car"!
(...sorry, couldn't resist that one)
-
That would be, Ruta Lee.
Saaay, that rhymed, didn't it!
(...and here I ALMOST was gonna answer with: "Nobody doesn't like Ruta Lee", but if I'd have done THAT, we wouldn't have had a little "poem" there, huh!)
-
And speaking of 1977 biopics, in Pumping Iron, the future governor of "Cal-LEE-forn-ya" is maid...ahem...I mean MADE to order for his role, 'cause the big juiced-up dunderheaded Austrian egomaniac plays himself in it, along with TV's Incredible Hulk, aka Lou Ferrigno who plays himself in it too.
(...btw, as you folks can probably tell, AND "just for the record" here, before I retired to beautiful Sedona AZ and still resided in The Golden State, when I voted in that infamous Gray Davis recall election, the "chad" on my ballot next to Arnold's name was definitely NOT "hanging", 'cause I made absolutely SURE it was STILL attached to my ballot as I dropped it into that box!!!)
LOL
-
I'll stack...ahem...I mean STAKE my reputation that that's Natalie's sister, Lana Wood there, dark!
-
And, Muhammand Ali played himself in the 1977 biopic The Greatest .
-
Yeah, really! They don't look like the same lady at all.
-
Mrs. Steve Allen had crossed my mind for a second also twinkeee, but I'm sure that's not her.
-
Oooh...those lips, those eyes. Yep, I like her too! But sorry, I have no idea who this sultry beauty is/was, and even after envisioning her as a brunette.
(...how's 'bout another clue?)
-
I don't think anyone has gotten darkblue's "real life marionette man" down there yet. Do ya have any idea about that one, 'cause I don't.
-
Well, 40 years plus IS a pretty good run, wouldn't ya say?!
LOL
-
Otto Kruger...except he did play "a guy you could trust" in Cover Girl .
(...well, at least Rita Hayworth could trust him to tell her the truth that she was really in love with Gene Kelly in THAT movie, anyway)
-
Yeah, I guess in THIS regard, you could've called me a "child prodigy" back then, huh twinkeee!
(...yep, I guess I owe much of my early sexual awakening to Abbe here...WOW did I think she was hot!!!)
WHAT WAS THE MOST PERFECT ENDING IN MOVIES?

>Dargo, it's interesting that Best Years, a post war "reality" film, chose to have a fairly upbeat happy ending for all the key characters involved. Yet I find it to be a pretty satisfactory ending, too.
Yep, and probably because the "hard road ahead" warning that Fred gives to Peggy tempers the whole "And they lived happily ever after" aspect to the ending, and helps ground it more in reality.
