He died a lot. But I'd say his Marc Antony suicide in CLEOPATRA would be one of his best as Elizabeth Taylor cradled him in her arms as he expired. I could think of worse ways to go.

I just watched THE PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE and noticed Merv Griffin in it. I did not know he had an acting background. Also, TPOTRM was a pretty dumb movie. Karl Malden must of wanted a pay day.

Last night after watching a DVR'd movie I caught the ad for TCM's showing of these "woke" violating films with the host's yakkity yakking about the "troubling" scenes of black face or scenes of slavery in GONE WITH THE WIND. ...blah, blah, blah.
I don't know who they're talking to? Those of us who are devoted TCM viewers know all this stuff already. We know Al Jolson performed in black face and Astaire did too. We've all seen GWTW 20 times and we know about Hattie McDaniel. Sheesh....are they trying to tell us because we appreciate these movies that we shouldn't? Are they talking to people who do not watch TCM that TCM is woke and they should watch TCM because they show these movies purposefully to show these troubling scenes and there's lots of other movies that are not racist, homophobic, misogynistic drivel?
If they ran their ads on CNN or MSNBC I'd say they were. But running the promos on their own station where only their most devoted viewers are likely to see them is, IMHO, them trying to deflect criticism of the movies they show that they know their audience wants to see. Basically, they're telling the world we know these movies are R, H and M but that's our audience and you should condemn them, not us.
It's pathetic. All they're doing is alienating us....their core constituency.

Maybe this doesn't really count but I'll relate it anyway. As a followup to my encounter with Alexis Arguello in Vegas I was in a casino there one evening when, over the intercom I heard the words, "Paging Ray Leonard. Paging Ray Leonard."
Well, I was a big fan of Sugar Ray (assuming that was the Ray Leonard being paged in a big boxing town) so, knowing that all the public phones were located around the periphery of the casino I had him paged, too. I then ran around the the casino, checking all the phones, so I could "accidentally" bump into the Sugar Man and introduce myself. No luck.
Now it may well be that he answered the page and called back to the phone I had abandoned. But I figured he might not be too happy if he heard a voice say, "Hiya Ray, I'm a fan!" I might even come off as a bit of a jerk. That's why I tried to run (and I do mean run) into him "accidentally" instead.
Taking a page out of the film "Gentleman Jim" I then had myself paged several times in the casino. If I can't meet Sugar Ray Leonard, I thought, at least let him hear my name.
I wonder if, after all these years, Sugar Ray remembers hearing my name that night. Nah, seems unlikely. 😉
A bit off topic, but when I was a teenager I was a stock boy in a department store. Whenever there was a clean up required...like someone dropped and broke a bottle of shampoo or something or other they would announce over the store intercom, "Paging Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt please come to checkout #2....Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt please come to checkout #2." I would grab a mop and pail and scurry off to counter #2.

Daisy Earles...another nice get. Her brother, Harry was also in those movies except for THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.
While I did not remember the actors names, I have vivid memories of my first time seeing FREAKS. It was in college at a weekend showing at an on campus film festival of odd, old movies. REEFER MADNESS was in the group. It might have been a double feature. FREAKS freaked me out. I've never forgotten it.

Terrific thanks for the above link, Magoo. Loved reading it!
And, which just went to show what a perceptive person I'VE always been when it came and comes to reading other people.
(...and such as how I knew from MY first encounter with Vincent Price, that he was indeed a true gentleman to the core)
Kathy Shaidle was a Canadian writer who recently died after a dreadful battle with ovarian cancer. She was only in her 50's. She wrote some incredible reviews and remembrances about film. I think many TCM members would enjoy her writing. I looked forward to her weekly missives.
Here is a sampling of her work. I miss her.

Well, once again, have I ever told you folks about the time Kirk Douglas and I had a little chat while I was working at Los Angeles International Airport?
Oh, I HAVE?! Well then, never mind.
LOL
But besides him, and in regards to "classic stars" and not any of the newer ones I'd often encounter at said airport, among them were...
Bob Hope...who it seemed pretty much felt the same way about his fans as the previously mentioned Mr. Widmark did, and although I would occasionally see Ol' Ski Nose sign an autograph for the star struck air traveler, and while he was waiting to board the short flight from LAX to PSP. ("PSP": Palm Springs, CA)
Ginger Rogers...and who like Mr. Hope was also a frequent flyer to PSP and where she also owned a home, was always very accommodating to her fans whenever they'd spot her seating in the boarding area.
Vincent Price...and who not only did I have an encounter with at LAX, but also just a few years before his death would again meet this wonderful and gracious gent while attending a showing of "Champagne for Caesar" at the Director's Guild Theater in Hollywood. I remember telling him how much I enjoyed him in this comedy and how funny I thought he was in it the first time I happened to catch it on TV years ago, and whenever I'd tell someone about how funny he was in it, their reaction was usually something such as, "Vincent Price? In a COMEDY???". And to which Mr. Price chuckled at and told me that he had always wished he had done more of in that genre.
The late Kathy Shaidle wrote a wonderful piece about Vincent Price. He was known to be very friendly and approachable. I share her remembrance here.

When I think of George Segal I think of BLUME IN LOVE (1973). It was a first date movie with a girl I was particularly fond of. Funny what reminds you of things.
Another first date movie was LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR (1977). That relationship got off to a curious start and kinda went off the rails from there. 🤪

Did it occur to you that sometimes more than 1 poster is responding almost simultaneously? I can assure you I don't respond to questions already answered. It's called the internet. There is often a lag between when something is posted and when it shows up on another's screen.
It's not necessary to nit pick. This site is just a folly. Have fun.
You know...is there anything wrong if 2 posters answer? If there are 2 outstanding questions? Of course not. 😊😎😅🤪
