More From The BACKARACH Songbook

The first actor I thought of was DORIS ROBERTS because I am an admirer. I think "the Method" can achieve stunning results... maybe not always.

LOL ...I usually define it as "self absorption" but it's the exact same thing...

MOBY GRAPE Vintage The Very Best Of

PINK FLOYD The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

THE FLIRTATIONS

VANGELIS China

Also owned that on vinyl. Thinking back, I listened more to Arthur than Lola Vs. Powerman but never listened to either much. Once highly regarded, Lola has slipped quite a bit in critics' estimation. Thought of as a kind-of "come back" record when it was new, THE KINKS record sales continued to slip... Give The People What They Want was a noticeable return to USA charts... KINKS never rebounded in UK charts.

She was named... and I disagree. She's not a brat. She's a monster.

SHIRLEY STOLER as Martha Beck in THE HONEYMOON KILLERS

I owned that on vinyl. I never liked it much. Influenced by The Rolling Stone Record Guide, which in 1979 awarded the album 5 stars, and loving The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society, I bought the next 2 KINKS albums chronologically. Both highly regarded then, nobody listens to them now much. Or THEN!!!

HUMPHREY BOGART as Duke Mantee in THE PETRIFIED FOREST is clearly labeled a killer. Is he a psychopath?

Good night CHARLES! You will be remembered!

MC5 Back in the USA

TALLULAH BANKHEAD as Mrs. Trefoile in DIE! DIE! MY DARLING! aka FANATIC

Any doubt Leatherface is a psychopath?

MACY GRAY On How Life Is

Now THAT is a villain I pity. PEEPING TOM is a dreadfully creepy and superior film, imperfect, but not only ahead of its time, it is timeless.

JANE GREER in OUT OF THE PAST

Classics For Meditation

Which one?
