I thought this thing "expired" a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still seeing some posts here. I think I still have some responses to a few questions I didn't get around to ... or perhaps I should jump into some other forum ... any suggestions?

Like I said ... you guys are going to have a hard time getting rid of me! I feel like I have to sneak back into this now-expired thread - and share an email that I just received from the British actor Terrence Knapp, who is mentioned in the letter my dad sent from Nottingham. Re-reading the letter I...

Thanks Klondike (and Moira and Dewey and Nancy and everyone else!) Silver Screen is going to have a hard time getting rid of me! ... so much stuff got stirred up in me over the course of the week ... so many memories that I hadn't accessed in ages ... and I was trying to dig deeper (as more memories...

This week has really flown by, I’ve been having a wonderful time, and wish I’d had more time to really get into some of the great questions and comments everyone’s been tossing my way. After an aggravating day at work today, I’m pretty beat – but really want to respond to a post from Moira ... My da...

Iceman is INTENSE - amazing cast - directed by John Frankenheimer ... only problem with it that I have is the casting of Lee Marvin in the role of Hickey ... it should have been Jason Robards. I just took a look at the Amazon listing and found this touching quote from someone named "Joey D - Br...

nightwalker - Thanx for mentioning Billy Budd - also one of my favorites - the very last scene between Ryan and Terrance Stamp always breaks me up - it's almost unbearable to watch, because there's something about the way he plays that scene that is SO close to the way he really was. Hard to watch (...

Lynn - Reading your note about The Wild Bunch, I'm remembering that I have (somewhere!) a hilarious photo that Peckinpah sent my father ... of Peckinpah holding a whip ... and my dad is chained to a wall ... and I'm suddenly realizing this is sounding way kinkier than it is ... I need to just find t...

Scott - I'm so sorry! ... I've been trying to keep up with everyone's wonderful comments and questions, and I forgot that you'd mentioned Myrna Loy and my dad in Loneyhearts! (so my question if they'd acted together had already been answered) ... that's another movie I haven't seen all the way throu...

Jumping around from post to post here ... Anne - I'm trying to remember if my Dad ever spoke about being happy or unhappy about his co-stars ... or who he generally liked or disliked working with ... the thing that's driving me CRAZY is the fact that there are SO many things I'd like to know ... so ...

MissGoddess .... In reply to some things you mentioned ... Oakwood School is still going strong. Their website, in case anyone is interested, is: http://www.oakwoodschool.org/ Here's a quote from the website: "Oakwood began in the hearts and minds of a small group of parents who had three thing...

I feel like I keep jumping ahead to the most recent questions and have lost track of some of the posts I meant to respond to yesterday and the day before. If I don't reply to every post before the end of my week here - please send me an email if you feel like it! I wanted to say to Nancy, in reply t...

Hey Klondike! Just got back to your message - hilarious! Was Stanley Jablonski a classmate of my dad's at Dartmouth? His comments were really really sweet, really nice - thanks so much for sharing that! Did my Dad maintain any ongoing friendships with co-stars ... probably the most "ongoing&quo...

In answer to some questions from Joe ... about Stanwyck, Rogers, and the Dakota .... I don't recall how he liked working with Barbara Stanwyck, I wish I did! There are so many questions I'd love to ask him now, stuff I just wasn't very interested in when I was younger. I do remember my mother being ...

Dewey! - I honestly don't understand why people are so crazy about "The Naked Spur" ... I probably haven't watched it all the way though, so I guess this is my homework assignment! One of my Dad's movies that I AM crazy about is "Act Of Violence" ... and in honor of it being show...
