"let me tell you something, Esther, Bill has been getting on my and everyone else here's last nerve SO BAD lately, I swear to God: if he doesn't clean up his act, I'm going to invite his sister Jessica over to spend the night. We call her the Angel of Death: every time she comes to town, someone dies....and more often than not, its usually the most annoying person in the room. You'll love her. Macaroon?"

In "real life" I would say Faye.
Oh H-E-double toothpicks to the yeah.

Her 'greatest' role had to be in Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's Bedazzled (1967) as Lillian Lust, the Babe with the Bust.
I. Love. That. Movie.

Yes. You never saw their parents though.
Probably because they had all been brutally murdered in some fashion or another over the years. Coincidence.

I'd forgotten she was in Woman of the Year.
they did a recent musical of the Tracy/ Hepburn film?
-
Maybe it was the girlfriends they switched...........(before he got hitched)
Maybe. I know Jessica had nieces and nephews by the thousands.
-
Yes, she was hilarious in that Seinfeld episode.....
J. Peterman was the best though.
"I love a good catfight!"
edit- now I remember, that's also the one where the coworker's arms don't move when she walks.
-
I found Grady kind of annoying. I think they switched wives (of his) too down the line.............
Okay, this one I know you're wrong on.
He was actually married in real life to the cute blonde with the bubbly voice and Judith Light-style fringed head helmet who played his wife on the show. They're still married and he's a lot less cute now, but she still looks damn good.
And he has no shirtless bing images either.

it's especially gross if you imagine animal crackers with all sorts of specific soups.
French onion, ew....Manhattan Clam Chowder, ew....Cream of Mushroom ew ew ew! (well, everything is grosser with cream of mushroom.)
about the only one you could maybe make work would be animal crackers in a slightly sweet tomato soup....and I imagine it would help if you were high while you ate it.
wait a sec: is gazpatcho or a chilled soup an option? Because I like that. idea. I could make animal crackers work with that.

Yes, Garland was considered as Lansbury's replacement, but the producers eventually nixed it, fearing her unreliability. What might have been.............
Of all the words of tongue or pen....the saddest are these...yup, pretty much.

Raquel Welch was good in THE THREE MUSKETEERS though.
I like the humor she brought to the role of Constance and of course her fight scene with Faye Dunaway.
Oh man. Hope they had some EMTS standing by for that one.
I take your word for it- never having seen a substantial amount of THREE... or FOUR...
The only two films I can ever recall seeing Raquel in were THE LAST OF SHEILAH, and she is lovely to look at and embarassing to watch, and her "special guest appearance" in LEGALLY BLONDE and her craft has not improved with time.
ps- who'd you put odds on, Raquel or Faye?
pss- do recall the SEINFELD episode though. that was a fun one.

...or pantsless.
I think that would've been just too much for the show's target demo (people over 55.) people would've been having palpitations from one coast to another.

Animal crackers in my soup
monkies and rabbits loop the loop,
Gosh, oh gee, but I have fun,
swallowin' animals one by one.
In every bowl of soup I see,
lions and tigers watching me,
I make 'em jump right thru a hoop,
those animal crackers in my soupWhen I get hold
of the 'Big bad wolf'
I just push him under to drown.
Then I bite him
in a million bits
and I gobble him right down.
When they're inside me
where its dark,
I walk around like Noah's ark
I stuff my tummy like a goop
with animal crackers in my soupmusic and lyrics by Charles Manson

It did let me post this though, which is pretty disturbing in its own right.

For the record, there are numerous images on bing and google for "evil Shirley Temple"- but they all seem to be "not allowed for use in this community."
-
...and of course there was also Jessica's smoking hot nephew Grady, who I was always glad to see...although sadly never shirtless.
-
It's the TEMPLE OF DARKNESS . . . and it lurks beneath. Where the cool, calm and perfected veneer masks a sinister underpinning. Come and explore the murky darkness in "REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK CEMETERY". Where dolls buried for a hun'erd years come back to life! And prey on the living. And give them splinters!
See Shirley smile . . .
See Shirley play . . .
See Shirley KILL!!!
Muhahahahahahaha!
Love. It.
-
I want to say I read somewhere, and it may well not be true, but Shirley was considered for the role of Veda in MILDRED PIERCE.
-
in all seriousness though, Shirley Temple matured into an absolutely gorgeous teenager and I could see her perfectly in any number of mid forties noirs. (the step daughter roles in DOUBLE INDEMNITY, maybe even POSSESSED come to mind immediately.)
not only was she a knock out, but she had a kind of innocence and purity to her the would have contrasted wonderfully with the dark elements...yet one can see how her voluptuousness could lead to a downfall.

Yep -- At least Shirley didn't bury any of her dolls (so far as I know.)

Said in a whisper: "even the dead ones."
that kid could freak out Boris Karloff.

I keep hearing Dick Powell or John Garfield in their best noir voiceover saying (about Shirley Temple):
"She was a dame but not like any other dame I ever knew . . . "

I'm checking this on my phone, so I don't have the option of clicking the "i like" button, and LOL is not really my thing, but in response to this remark from you i say:
"ahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
well played, good sir.

I'd say they're not far apart....
(although I have to admit Shirley's work is nowhere near as dark and creepy as that of Margaret O'Brien.)

Ball and Arthur each won Golden Globe nominations with Ball bizarrely losing to Raquel Welch for The Three Musketeers .
yeah that is pretty bizarre. may be the most bizarre thing I've heard all day....(Raquel must have worked overtime with the Hollywood Foreign Press to bring home that one.)

Having a slow work day, so I figured I'd take a moment to salute Jim Thompson- one of my absolute favorite writers and someone whose name really should come up when people talk about "Great American Writers of the 20th Century"- but for some reason they find the lifeless prose of Hemingway and plot-lite showboating of Fitzgerald preferable.
(there's just no accounting for taste.)
Maybe- aside from the subject matter- a reason his name is quite unfortunately left off that list is because his work covers a breadth in quality that ranges from truly great to utterly awful (he had a bad drinking problem, and quite a few of his unpublished works have seen the light of day that should have remained at the bottom of a drawer.)
I don't think I have ever read another author whose output ranged so drastically in quality. Everything from "A+" to "F."

oh I get it, you guys are talking about Raquel Welch. I thought you were talking about Molly Shannon who played the lady with the Orangatang arms that Elaine worked with.
