Great actress. I'll think of you next time I wear the kilt.

Vernon took his grandkids to see the premier showing of "Major Barbara." Good times.

Translation: Thanks for flashing your cans on cinema.

You're a classy guy Jeff.

San,
Like school in the summer-time, no class.

I'm with you man, Jeff's a jerk. So, can you confirm this can flashing thing for me or am I going to have to use the google?

Thanks for flashing your cans on cinema.

You have a very different recollection of classic '40s and '50s cinema than I do, Jeff. I don't recall any flashing of cans.

Aw RCADE if only you had excercised that imagination.....you missed out on a lot.

I'm so sad. What a wonderful actress! My favorite....The King and I!

RIP

Aww! Deborah Kerr has passed on!

She was a class act and appeared in many of Spud's well luffed flicks.

From starring in GBS's Major Barbara to Prisoner of Zenda to playing "Young Bess" opposite
Charles Laughton she was always an impressive talent.

The King and I is one of those timeless pieces that will outlive us all as well as that steamy high tide Kiss in From Here to Eternity.

Aside from those obvious gems Spud also enjoyed her work immensely in Heaven knows Mr Allison, Prudence and the Pill and of course Casino Royale.

RIP Deborah Ker and thanx fer all them fine moments.

At the end of the day all life is, is a collection of momemts.

Ms Kerr built up a fine collection.

King: You will say no more!
Anna: I will say no more, because there's no more to say!


Nuff sed.

Be Well.

Aside from those obvious gems Spud also enjoyed her work immensely in Heaven knows Mr Allison...,

One of my favorites, too! What a great movie with her as a nun and Robert Mitchem as the tough, grizzled Marine with her on that WW II island trying to hide as Japs invaded again. A classic.

correction -- "Mitchum" not "Mitchem"

"She refused to play a nude scene in "The Gypsy Moths," released in 1968. "It was when they started that `Now everybody has got to take their clothes off,'" she said. "My argument was that it was completely gratuitous. Had it been necessary for the dramatic content, I would have done it."

In fact she undressed for "The Arrangement," even though the scene was later cut. "There the nude scene was necessary, husband and wife in bed together," Kerr said. "That was real." "

Sorry, no can flashing here.
Great actress and a classy lady. R.I.P.

One of my favorites, too! What a great movie with her as a nun and Robert Mitchum as the tough, grizzled Marine with her on that WW II island trying to hide as Japs invaded again. A classic.

Strewth. A largely under-appreciated classic too!

She also rawked alongside Robert Mitchum in the classic "The Sundowners".

They both proved their acting chops in that by putting forth stirring performances complete with credible Australian accents.

John Huston simply adored her ya know.

Good eye John sez Spud.

Spud puts DK up their on the same pantheon as Katherine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn and Vivien Leigh and Susan Hayword.

Easy to luff and hard to fergit.

Be Well.

Spud's not gonna bother putting out a seperate thread on it but Spud just found out over at WTW that Joey Bishop the last of the "Rat Pack" has died.

www.nytimes.com

End of an era.

RIP Joey B.

Be Well.

PS: And as incidental anecdotal evidence backing up the claim that monogamous married men live longer consider this...

And unlike the others in The Pack, he remained married to the same woman, the former Sylvia Ruzga, for 58 years, until her death in 1999. They had a son, Larry.

Things that make ya go Hmmmmm!

Lest we forget the timeless 'An Affair to Remember' with Cary Grant.

She sure was a class act.

I tried that making love in the sand thing once she did in 'From Here to Eternity'. Swore never to do it again LOL

Ya SPUD,

It didn't get more old Vegas than Joey Bishop. i remember he used to play Caeser's Palace when I'd be there with another act down the Strip back in the day.

Sweet. Spud recently saw an interview with Paul Anka who started as a kid really and he used to work in Vegas back when it was Vegas and did he have some stories to tell. Spud likes the one about Johnny Carson getting shit-kicked fer hitting on a mobster girlfriend. The interviewer was a little shocked when Anka came out and sed that he actually preferred Old Vegas. "With those guys" he sed, "you know wot you were getting, they gave you their word and kept it" They were "very up front".

They were also "out back" too.

Still the glitz of modern corporate Vegas is dull and tame compared to the old days when the mob ran the place.

Spud aint pro-Mob or anything just anti-dull.

Wayne Newton is legend, btw.

Be Well.

I posted a Wayne Newton story on the Joey Bishop thread. First time I met him. Possible disaster loomed LOL

Deborah Kerr was a class act in my book too. Loved the King and I. The new one with Jodi Foster is just not the same.

She left an awesome legacy for her children, grandchildren and on down.

RIP
