OK, how about Chester Morris? He looks like a Neanderthal in Brylcream and the characters he plays are just so unlikeable. Yet he was the leading man in so many early 30's movies.

Epically bad remakes that I have seen:
The Women (1939) vs The Women (2008): Original--sharp, witty, fun, satirical Remake--dull, politically correct (more or less) and smug. But really nice shoes, though...
Mr Deeds Goes to Town 1936 vs Mr Deeds (2002): Adam Sandler is going straight to hell for this one...
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) vs Guess Who? (2005): Ashton Kutcher. Enough said.
Psycho (1960) vs Psycho (1998): begs the question: Why?
The Haunting (1963) vs The Haunting (1999): expensive special effects do not take the place of good acting and direction
-
Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant--great onscreen, but just buddies offscreen
Doris Day and Rock Hudson--ditto

Maybe I hallucinated this, but wasn't there a thread somewhere to share photos on? I was looking through some of my old books and realized I have half a dozen on photography in Hollywood, with many unusual pictures of our favorite stars (or at least pics I haven't seen 150 times in books and elsewhere). I didn't want to start a new thread if there was an existing one...

And also a bit horsey looking. I have a picture of her all dolled up and glamorous and it just doesn't work. She looks like an unattractive drag queen. She's one actress who needs her smile. I hope she did that photo shoot becasue the studio made her and not because she wanted to. Good commedic actress, but definitely not glamorous. Some actresses just don't. Too wholesome or ordinary looking.

If you don;t mind me asking, how old were you then? Did you get what it was about or was it just fun time? LOL

Law and Order:SVU is a good place to catch older stars/actors doing guest star turns. The past couple of seasons haven?t been as good for this, but TBS runs marathons and syndicated episodes all the time and you can catch the likes of *Carol Burnett* as a black widow w/ a creepy relationship w/ her nephew; *Liza Minelli* as an emotionally fragile woman in a case reminiscent of the Jon-Benet Ramsey case; *Ann-Margaret* as the alcoholic ex-lover of a murder suspect; *Jerry Lewis* as an Alzheimer?s patient who takes the law into his own hands; *Leslie Caron* as an elderly rape victim; *Margot Kidder* as the abusive mother of a serial killer; Piper Laurie as an abusive foster mother; *Estelle Parsons* as *Mary Streenburgen?s* (who plays a VERY uncharacteristic role) mother; *Jane Powell* as an elderly victim; *Angela Lansbury* as the ultra-wealthy mother of a serial killer/rapist; *Marlo Thomas* and *Christine Lahti* in recurring roles as judges; *Bernadette Peters* as a defense attorney;
You can even see *John-Boy* as a schizophrenic religious fanatic murder; *Robin Williams* playing twisted, murderous mind games in the name of science; *Martin Short* as a serial killer/rapist; *the Fonz* as murder/rape suspect; *Fred Savage* as a serial rapist (eek!)and *John Ritter* as a doctor w/ severe OCD who murders his wife?s unborn child.

Eeww. Can you imagine having them crawling all over you, pinching bits away? Like rats. Or being drowned in caterpillars. Brrr.

I was born in 1965, so I was just old enough to notice as the war wound down in the early 70's. But I didn't. My parents were very very careful of us--they didn't watch the 6:00 news if we were int he room and we were in bed long before the 11:00 news. Maybe if I had older siblings or cousins who were drafted or something, it would have had more impact. But I don;t remember anyone ever talking about it. Weird. I do however remember Watergate, though I had no idea at the time what it was all about.

On another thread. someone asked what happened to the request page. I went and looked for it and couldn't find it either. Has TCM done away with it?

> Woody Allen. If he's too contemporary to qualify, then Ernest Borgnine, who really is the voice of Mermaid Man on "Spongebob Squarepants."
Ernie on being Mermaid Man:
When my kids used to watch Spongebob, The Mermaid Man episodes were really the only ones I really liked. I didn't realize it was Ernest Borgnine until recently. And Tim Conway is Barnacle Boy, Mermaid Man's sidekick!
Not a good recording, but here's a sample:

The remake of The Women did not work for me. I liked the original a lot and had high hopes, but...no. The only character who held my attention was Cloris Leachman as the housekeeper. The whole thing was basically a group of ultra-rich women wallowing in angst for a while, then "finding" themsleves, which leads to happiness. And really nice clothes. Actually a lot like "Sex and the City", except without the sex.
