KEVIN CORCORAN (1949 - 2015) R.I.P.

 

We've lost "Moochie"?  I can't believe it.  He could outcry a Watson brother and was so adorable you stayed glued to the screen when he was on.  It's great that he had such a successful business and personal life  after that.  My sympathies to the rest of the clan who have also given us so much entertainment over the years.

Senior citizen Kevin Corcoran
Kevin's final film role as an actor was a small part in Blue (1968). Thereafter, he went to college, graduated in theatre arts, and eventually became a director and producer for films and television (Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Murder, She Wrote, Quantum Leap), usually, but not always, working for Disney affiliates. He was married to his wife Laura for close to fifty years, and around 2005-7 appeared in several documentaries and DVD special features, talking about his early career. Sadly Kevin passed away on October 6, 2015 in Burbank, California from cancer.

Birthday gal Carole Lombard and a bearded Clark Gable chowing down at the MGM commissary (not sure what film he's got these whiskers for; it's probably not "Parnell"):

As a guess, Joe, that scruffy beard on Gable may have been for Strange Cargo, a 1940 release. I can't think of any other film in which he looked like that.

Happy Birthday for the 10th Joe (it is the 10th now in Aust) I hope you have a great day and once

again many thanks for all the wonderful pictures and information you bring us!

I hope you enjoy this picture of a favourite of yours (I think) Barbara Stanwyck beautiful as always and sans makeup taken by the great photographer George Hurrell.

It's your birthday and we get the presents?  I thought that only happened on Christmas.  I hope you're having a great one.

 

I never knew Helen Hayes was so beautiful in her youth.  Like most of us my age I only knew her from her TV and film work from the 50's on up.  While I still think she stole that second Oscar from Maureen Stapleton she was one of the great American actresses of any period.

 

I'd have written this sooner but couldn't take my eyes off the Richard Jaeckel photo.  He was the villain in so many roles that you didn't see his charming smile that often.  And I thought I'd have to wait until Thursday for my gifts; thanks a lot for the early start.

Thanks for these great pictures!  I loved Helen Hayes.  I read her book years ago about her life with Charles MacArthur and their children.  One of my favorite stories in it was about when Helen tried one of the stratagems Charles had told her about, on James.  He said his mother had told her children to punish her when they were bad, becuse obviously she wasn't doing a good job of raising them to be polite and responsible people.  One day Helen used it on Jim, telling him he should punish her for being a bad mother.  She said his face just lit up, he grabbed a stick and whacked her across the shins with it.  The last she saw while she was in hot pursuit was him disappearing around the corner of the house, shrieking "You told me to!  You told me to!"  Charles was the love of her life, and she of his.
