My Beautiful Laundrette

For a moment there in the mid-80s that movie got a lot of buzz.  I haven't heard anyone talk about it in decades.  That is a wonderful film.

I'd have to say Raul Julia.

Saw RAUL JULIA on stage in NYC in Man Of LaMancha.  With SHEENA EASTON.  I was ther for RAUL JULIA, another favorite.

Both favorites Linda Darnell & Jack Cassidy perished in senseless fires

JACK CASSIDY is greatly disliked by a few people I know.  I secretly enjoyed seeing him on Columbo the other night...

LINDA DARNELL was a goddess.  My all time favorite lady. 

[I Just Watched...]

I just watched the first episode of ADAM-12 where the series sets up a dynamic between Pete Malloy and Jim Reed.  It may be MARTIN MILNER's voice when he talks into the squad-car radio but it sure is NOT KENT McCORD... his voice was dubbed by somebody who did not sound like him at all!

That is just one of her pet-peeves. 

I can relate to "pet peeves".  I am no fan of long lists.  I think one at a time is best so everyone gets a chance.  A list...? 🤨

Maybe you should read the thread before posting. Pg2

It seemed to me that everyone I thought of (a laundry list) had already been mentioned (except my very first - VIVIEN LEIGH - who suffered 20 years of illness before death younger than I am now).  I have made the same mistake numerous times on forums - or not as likely after 4 or 5 pages to maybe read all.
