  1. From IMDb.com (Because they can say it better then I)

    Solemn, ethnic-looking Zohra Lampert had a touching, understated quality to her talent that should have gone further in the film business than it did. Somehow she never got the bigger breaks necessary for top-flight stardom.Was twice nominated for Broadway's Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actress (Dramatic) in the consecutive years of 1962, for "Look: We've Come Through," and in 1963, for "Mother Courage and Her Children."

     

    Worked steady from 1963 to 1999 (I think she shows up from time to time to do limited runs in Off Broadway plays)

    I remember her on TV through out the 70's..and the O'Boya..Goya commercials....Very good Actress.

  2. Many think Brando is greatest movie actor of all. But that is an opinion. I think I can add to the 2 you posted "The Godfather" and "The Missouri Breaks (1976)"

    But all Actors do not appeal to all film goer's. I never thought he was all-that.(IMHO) if we all liked the same actors/actresses' there wouldn't be as many folks starring in films....

  3. No one mentioned "Apocalypto" (2006) Directed by Mel Gibson. Good action Film,the Mayan kingdom faces its decline. Graphic but quite interesting.

    Also loved "Little Miss Sunshine"...

    Don't really go out to the movies as much as I used too. But, with DVD's being released sooner, I wait for the video instead.

  4. Actress-Singer Barbara McNair dies

    From yahoo.com

    LOS ANGELES - Singer Barbara McNair, who became a film and television star in an era when such opportunities were opening up for black women, has died, her sister said. She was 72.

    McNair died Sunday after a battle with throat cancer in Los Angeles, sister Jacqueline Gaither said.

     

    "She was very family oriented," Gaither said. "She was more than just a star or a famous personality. She was a person of her own."

     

    McNair made her Hollywood acting debut in 1968 in the film, "If He Hollers, Let Him Go."

     

    She later starred opposite Sydney Poitier in "They Call Me Mister Tibbs" and with Elvis Presley in "Change of Habit."

     

    She hosted television's "The Barbara McNair Show," a musical and comedy program in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As a singer, one of her biggest hits was "You Could Never Love Him."

  5. Joan played this way over the top. Destroying a room with a Riding crop, and the scene with the cold cream on the mirror so she couldn't see herself. Great B movie with a great Actress. Good stuff...

  6. Larry great story... Always respected her talent. Great in "Caged" (really nasty) (DVD Please!) Good counter part for Hume Cronyn as Capt. Munsey in '47's "Brute Force".

     

    Mongo that's 3 for 3 on deserving talented Actors without Stars....

  7. It reminds me of 1980's "Atlantic City" when Lancaster's character (Lou) is telling Robert Joy's character (Dave) about when Atlantic City had "Floy-Floy",Hep-Cat Zoot-Suit" and Dave looks at Lou like he's from another Planet.
