Ben Johnson Tribute

Pardon the interruption ladies, but here is is (finally!). If you like it, credit the subject. :)

The thumbnail picture looks pretty bad; it's the one they gave me. I changed it, but it might take as long as 36 hours to alter.

Re: "You look a lot like ....

Oh my gosh, Spencer Tracy and James Whitmore are dead ringers for each other! Never thought of that resemblance before. Some good "relative" picks too ... several descriptions made me laugh! :lol: The only person I was told I looked like was not someone that anyone who knew me well ever be...

Re: "You look a lot like ....

Is the third one down O'Keefe? The others look like Lundigan to me. Thanks for playing! :) Yes, that's him. Top left is Lundigan, top right O'Keefe. Bottom left O'Keefe, bottom left Lundigan. I don't mix these guys up but Stan Laurel and Fred Astaire is a long running joke in our house. I like both...

Re: "You look a lot like ....

O'Keefe and Lundigan still confuse me! They can, can't they? Both tall, blonde, good-looking, and Irish... not intending to be a wise-guy, but can you spot which is O'Keefe, and which is Lundigan without checking the backlinks? I used to mistake Sally Forrest for Anne Francis. I can see that perfec...

"You look a lot like ....

This might be a strange topic, but do you have any actors you confuse with another? I used to mix-up quite a few when I was young (Randolph Scott, Jimmy Stewart, and Gary Cooper all blurred for me at one time - I'm talking really young here, romper stage! :wink: ) But later on, there are still some ...

Re: Ben Johnson

Oh Paula, that sounds painful. Maybe some ice-cream or frozen yogurt would soothe it? (yes, I'm one of those people who depend too much on the frozen confections.) Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest, and be assured that I shall not peek at your draft or blaspheme any further until your return...

Re: Ben Johnson

"Widow in White" is another villain role, unfortunately. What was the matter with everyone? :evil: Yes, "A Sound of Bells" = finally a heroic role! By the by, I was happy to learn the other day that my Tomboy and the Champ DVD has shipped! I'm glad I took your advice and cancele...

Re: Ben Johnson

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something there "right at my finger tips", as it were. Yes, there do appear to be a lot of Ben movies/tv shows on youtube... I've looked up the Monroe episodes that you supplied the titles of, two Laramies (Widow in White doesn't seem to be t...

Well, uh, I posted the article to dukewayne.com and also to a cowboy movies Facebook page and there was... zero reaction! Which I found surprising, to say the least Huh... that is odd. :?

Re: Gunsmoke or Bonanza...discuss

The show, if nothing else, looks wonderful in color. Yes, why did Bonanza 's color look so much better than that of Gunsmoke ? I think Gunsmoke should never have gone to color. Apart from their process looking so - grungy, for want of a better word, the black & white was much kinder to the agin...
