TONY BILL is 69 today

I saw the above image and immediately recognized him. "Ah, it's Tony Bill." But I've taken a minute and I can't think of one movie that I've seen him in. I know him, but I don't know how I know him. He must be stored in my long-term memory somewhere, but I can't seem to find that file... Did he have some attachment to That Girl? [No wait, that was Tony Thomas -- Marlo's brother who appeared in an episode.]

Moraldo, actor, director, producer Tony Bill appeared in a variety of movies and TV shows. His one TV series was "What Really Happened to the Class of '65?" in 1977.

Oliver Reed raising hell at a local pub

I would say, judging from the disparity between Mr. Reed's left pupil & his right one, Oliver's body was getting ready to harvest some of that hell he'd been raising!

I've always liked Oliver Reed, I have no idea why. Maybe because he seemed to have some talent under that shaggy exterior. But that picture - ack! He looks like the kind of guy I would avoid at all costs. Ewwww. Can't you find one to take that horrible picture out of my mind?

Here's to you, Jack. Only kiddin'


A tranquil Oliver Reed

Oh god. I can't believe you found a WORSE photo!

Now that last one is more like it.

Mia Farrow and husband Frank Sinatra incognito

Lovely pictures Mongo. Everytime I'm reminded that Frank Sinatra married Mia Farrow I'm surprised, don't know why, I suppose it's because she's so different to Ava and Nancy.
