Night 3: The Thrill of It All This double feature showcased the unhealthy pastime of thrill-killing, and featured the talents of two drive-in stars whose paths crossed more than once throughout their respective careers: Arch Hall, Jr. and Ray Dennis Steckler. I've only seen Arch Hall, Jr. in the ba...

Night 2: The Suffering Lana A camp movie marathon would hardly be complete without one or two of those sumptuous films from the latter half of Lana Turner's career. Love Has Many Faces (1965) tells the tale of the exceedingly rich and achingly beautiful Kit Jordan (Turner), who resides in Acapulco ...

I know him, Judith, but the name escapes me and I can't get it outside of using the internet. Was one of his movies All the King's Men? That much I think I have correct.

Been feeling a bit blue lately, so I decided to cheer myself up by viewing some low-budget movies throughout the summer, thus putting a positive spin on my least favorite summer ritual, camp . Many of the titles I've selected to watch are films I'd set aside to view and just now gotten around to wat...

Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins discussing the script with director Rouben Mamoulian on the set of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" What a great pic of sexy Miriam. Hard to believe that within ten years she'd become a rather drippy sort. Such was the effect of the Code on so many, at least in t...

Uh..is her first name Elizabeth? The VISTA at our chapter right now is studying marketing online, and that sounds like some of what the VISTA volunteer/intern is supposed to do. :-) Nope. It might be similar work. Just thought I'd ask. I could've sworn the young lady in our office said she was from...

My niece is studying marketing in college and is doing an internship with the Red Cross. It might lead to a job as she is coordinating for fundraisers and such. She is enjoying herself. Uh..is her first name Elizabeth? The VISTA at our chapter right now is studying marketing online, and that sounds...

On the off chance some of you may be curious as to what's happened to me over the past few months... A few months ago, I'd pretty much had enough of applying and waiting around for interviews, so I decided to make the rest of the year a quest for self-improvement in a number of ways. I decided to tr...

It's truly a pity that the talk show didn't really fully evolve until the era of Hollywood character actors was basically gone. I'd have loved to have seen so many of those stars interviewed, and Emerson is one of them. I can't help but think she must've lived a very interesting life. Recently I got...

You're Hope Emerson. (I almost guessed Victor Buono, but "sadistic" wasn't quite an accurate description.)

I didn't realize that about the detective series, however. I'll have to check that out.

I've enjoyed charming child star Freddie Bartholomew in almost all of his films - David Copperfield was also entertaining. I have his version of Kidnapped on DVD but haven't gotten around to watching it as yet. I'd like to see the 1940 Swiss Family Robinson , but it's almost impossible to find. Like...

You are Red Buttons.

Either Julie Newmar or Eartha Kitt's Catwoman.

I also liked Vincent Price as Egghead.

Random thoughts- Part of the problem for me is that there has simply been too much to take in, and I'm having to make decisions as to what I'll spend my time viewing and what I'm not going to bother with. Most TV series fall into the "not going to bother with" category, at least for now, u...

I suppose the deluge of bad programming is partially due to the fact that there's something like 1,000 channels out there. And while some are dedicated to news, sporting events, weather, etc., others choose to fill that dead air with original programming. And as reality series cast nobodies as oppos...
