Darn RIGHT!!!

Great! Just send me off a little ol' PM and let me know when in Spring that'll be.

And of course which is "easy fodder" because of her being an emotionally fragile little thing.

Maybe, but a modern Lambo is MUCH more crashworthy at 60MPH(and reportedly the top speed little Justin was caught "speeding" in it...or as Leno said last night, "60??? Hey Justin, that's a freakin' Lamborghini! Try SECOND GEAR now, kid! LOL ) than would be the diminutive and lacking any modern safety features of the 550 Spyder that Dean was driving. (...and thus why I drive MY 550 Spyder like I'm riding one of my motorcycles...as if nobody sees me out there...and which YOU'LL see if you ever get your butt over here to Sedona!!!) LOL

Here's a couple more: Jerry "The Beaver" Mathers was killed while fighting in Vietnam. And yet another one regarding participants in a war... Bob "Capt. Kangaroo" Keeshan: The bravest man Lee Marvin ever knew: http://www.snopes.com/military/celebrities/leemarvin.asp

Yeah, well, it's too bad poor James didn't get his wish of "being alone" just as that big Ford sedan plowed into the front of his little Porsche Spyder, anyway. (...OH, and once AGAIN, people...that's "SPYDER" not "SPEEDSTER"!!!) LOL Edited by: Dargo2 on Jan 24, 2014 11:15 AM

Aah, that would be Jeff York, who played the keelboat operator Mike Fink,and who I used to watch on a little Philco 15in B&W TV set back in the day while sportin' one these little numbers here on my head... (...and no, that ain't me here)

>Louella Parsons was on the yacht, kept her mouth closed and afterward got a lifetime contract with the Hearst press. AND, little known to most, would go on to coin the phrase, "Knowing where the bodies are buried" that we know in the lexicon today! Though NOT of course "coined" within any of the passage of her column, but more "word-of-mouth" thing from her, you understand. (...my motto here: I'll get one of MY OWN "urban legends" started here if it's the LAST thing I do, 'cause that whole "Cotten/Letterman" thing of mine doesn't seem to be taking flight at all!)

>STELLA DALLAS is for all the men and women who won't watch the Super Bowl because the Cowboys are not in it. LOL Yeah, but haven't those Texans down there(and I'm not talkin' about the Houston team here) already cried ENOUGH while watching Romo get knocked down over and over again in the last game they played this year???

>It looks like the I's have it. No doubt you live for this stuff. Yeah..well...YOU'RE just luck the SprocketMan didn't catch ya here FIRST, 'cause HE wouldn't have been NEARLY as nice about it I WAS!!! LOL

>Part of the late Lawrence Tierney??? LOL Yeah, I was wonderin' the same thing here, Tom! (...and somethin' was tellin' me it probably WASN'T his tonsils)

LOL Yeah, but like I said, then just FUGETABOATIT then, DUDE!!! LOL

Yep, it seems, as they say, "the boys got the last laugh", alright. OH, and btw Tom, and regarding your post down there and when ya said: >is that actually a real legend, or it that another Dargoism? I must say I was most hono(u)red to see this new noun you've created in my hono(u)r. Any plans to submit it for consideration to those fellas at Oxford(who I understand still use that "superfluous letter 'u'" in many of their spelling of words in those dictionaries of theirs and just like you folks up there in The Great White North still do) would be heartily endorsed by Yours Truly. (...well, UNLESS those fellas over there INSIST on placin' one of those needless letter 'u's in this new word...and then just fugetaboutit if ya would, kind sir...errr, well, I suppose in YOUR parlance that would be "fugetaboAtit", wouldn't it!)

Here ya go, Tom. I've excerpted the following from Uncle Walt's Wiki bio page for ya: Hibernation urban legend A long-standing urban legend maintains that Disney was cryonically frozen, and that his frozen corpse was stored beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, but Disney's remains were cremated on December 17, 1966, and his ashes interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. The first known human cryonic freezing was in January 1967, more than a month after Disney's death. According to "at least one Disney publicist", as reported in the French magazine Ici Paris in 1969, the source of the rumor was a group of Disney Studio animators with "a bizarre sense of humor" who were playing a final prank on their late boss. His daughter Diane wrote in 1972, "There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics."

Weeeell, and now after all THAT "unpleasantry" here ...AND to get your thread SOMEwhat back on track here Tom. AND speakin' of dead bodies like that one about the poor souse's Mr. Barrymore's... How about that ol' "Hollywood Urban Legend" that said Walt Disney was freeze-dried(aka cryogenically frozen) and is a "roommate" of base great Ted Williams? THAT would qualify here, wouldn't IT?! (...and btw Tom, don't bother thankin' me for helping get your thread back on track, 'cause I figure that that's the LEAST I could do for a guy who writes some of the very best write-ups around here about Hollywood history...that's ALWAYS thanks enough)

>You obviously had a tough time keeping your mind on Shakespeare in high school English class. Every nubile young lass in the class was making your mouth water. LOL Yep, pretty much...especially nubile Susan Patterson...that hot little brunette...who played Kate in our school's production of "The Taming of the Shrew"....and who would never give ME the time of day! (...and even though OUR high school's "urban legend" was that she DID "give the time of day" to everybody ELSE, doggone IT!!!) LOL

Now finance, I had NO idea that you were so...well...so CHAUVINISTIC, and evidently think these "women's movies" would be a good pick as some sort of great "counterprograming" move against the Super Bowl. I'll have you know PLENTY of women now enjoy watching NFL games now days. (...and besides, if they showed "Stella Dallas" during the game, it would deprive ME of yet ANOTHER good cry as I'd watch Stanwyck with head held high being brushed away by that cop from the house her daughter's wedding was goin' on!!!)

Sorry Miles, but she's not ringin' a bell here at all, though maybe THAT'S 'cause as a kid I wasn't that much into cute blondes and was WAY more into cute brunettes...like...say...YVONNE CRAIG!!! (...ooooh baby!!!)

Ooooh. Now c'mon, Sepia. Surely you've seen Dave's mom featured on his show from time to time, and I think she's a very lovely lady, and I'll bet wasn't too bad on the ol' eyes in her day. (...but then again, weren't we ALL in our youth?!)

OR, that one I'VE been tryin' to start for some time now... Joseph Cotten is REALLY David Letterman's dad! ???

>Still of Lzabeth Scott, Robert Cummings & Diana Lynn in the weepy melodrama "Paid in Full" Hey Joe, while you probably already know this and it was just some oversight, that first lady mentioned here's name is USUALLY spelled missin' JUST the first "E" and not the "I" here TOO!

Yeah, like I said Tom...sorry.

>Would anyone have another Hollywood urban legend to share? Uh-huh...George Raft could act, and Jerry Lewis was funny. (...sorry Tom, couldn't resist)

>Three more pairings from the what-if department: 2. What about Cary Grant & Rock Hudson in a movie? I suppose it would have been a romantic comedy, though both actors were capable of straight dramatic fare. LOL Hey TB! I hope you now realized that you've probably now sparked a little "mini-debate" within your own thread here by prefacing this here No.2 of yours with the inclusion of the word "both" here, don't ya?! And 5'll getcha 10 the name "Randolph Scott" is almost SURE to come up in it!!! (...'cause I believe the jury is still out about Cary in some if not most peoples' minds!) LOL

LOL Now THAT'S what I SHOULD'VE written down there, Andy! (...instead o' gettin' all serious like that for a moment)
