who would you cast as the spoiled heiress in a remake of Overboard?
for Goldie's role: Angelina jolie or Ashley judd
for kurt's role: ?
-
never watched it. all I know it was directed by meathead.
a remake of Overboard would be too politically incorrect today.

heston shoulda kept his money. I've tried to like this but it just escapes being a great movie for me.

Phyllis Newman, who died on Sunday, was Broadway royalty and a New York treasure. Married for more than 40 years to Adolph Green, she won a Tony Award for her performance in Subways are for Sleeping, a musical by Adolph Green, Betty Comden, and June Styne. She appeared in numerous Broadway shows, television shows, and films. I particularly remember her appearances on That Was the Week that Was.
Her big number in Subways are for Sleeping was "I Was a Shoo-In."
She appeared as Jane Bennet in a musical version of Pride and Prejudice, entitled First Impressions. Here's Phyllis with Donald Madden in a song from the delightful score.
she kinda looks a bit like cher in that picture.

she was hot too.
saw her on an episode of the man from uncle. she was a Bedouin princess and she threw a shiv into mccallum's leg but I think it was to save his life.

It seems to me nobody ever talks about Twelve O’Clock High as one of the best war movies of all-time. It kind of gets lost with Bataan and Objective Burma as just passable war movies when in fact all three movies are way more thrilling than movies like Saving Private Ryan or Platoon. I don’t understand the Academy singling Dean Jagger out for the award that year when the entire cast was brilliant, particularly Marlowe and Merrill.
whenever 12 o'clock high is scheduled I will watch it.
it's just engrossing the ways peck gets into it.

Anyone remember the TV series?
lot of um on youtube the ones with Lansing. Lansing took too much sheet from his pilots in the series no way peck would ever have done that still Lansing packed the gear and that schtootz quinn martin shoulda let Lansing be a little bit more hard-bitten in the role.

I think Generations was a paramount plot to kick shatner permanently out of star trek.
they got what they wanted but crippled and eventually killed star trek in the process.
they coulda given star trek a great shot in the arm twenty years ago by devoting and entire film to the resurrection of kirk but were too stupid to do even that.
many have tried but there still remains only one top dog in the starship commanding field...
this one!

Agreed, Top Billed!
A very lovely lady who was always appealing in her roles. I particularly remember Carol in an AHP episode about a lost statue and a convent. I think it also starred Clu Gulager and there's a name one doesn't hear of much now. Carol played a novice who gets involved in a world unknown to her, a bit like the young nun in Bunuel's "Viridiana".
I recall seeing Carol discussing once that she was always being put on a diet, after her early child modeling years, to maintain a slim figure. She was quite beautiful and belongs in the group of ethereal blondes that also included Yvette Mimieux and Inger Stevens in my opinion. A bit lost, a bit sad, a bit mysterious...
you could tell she watched her weight by how curvaceous she looked in wet clothes in the Poseidon adventure.

Any of these photos in it?
I haven't had my paperback for decades but I'd say the top black & white photo was.

both paramount and Roddenberry tried to reinvent star trek without a strong lead character and it didn't work!
and a strong lead character was a part of Roddenberry's original vision for star trek.

personally, if it were my project I'd give ben cross another crack at it. NBC pulled the plug on the 1991 revival far too soon and Barbara Steele succeeded in surpassing grayson hall as Julia imo.
the noble Barnabas, supernatural being and hero.
even death and vampirism could not dull the character of this man.

shatner would not be too old to play kirk on an audioplay disc but I think paramount would be too scared sheetless to give shatner permission to do even that.
they killed star trek and they know it.
he's still the heart and guts of STAR TREK

bring back shatner!
that's all I gotta say.

yeah, I never could get that excited about seeing a beautiful woman get run down by a group of ravening Doberman pinschers. I always change the channel because that scene is just very disturbing and I see no point to it at all.
