Corrected it now. I think it's because she went to Joan's that night and I associate them as both having won. Thanks for the comment and compliments!

What a face... (And I really enjoyed your using the word "defenestrated." I'm never too old to learn something!) I used to have a video recording of ATITFOTL and, of course, would await Berenger dropping trou, but something about it always seemed odd, like he had on a pantyhose-like bodysuit on over his nudity. Nothing moved (or was exceedingly clear to me.)<br /><br />Ginge, that's neat about Mitzi and her Hungarian fans! I wonder why... (Maybe they saw her thrilling rendition of "Georgy Girl" at the Oscars that year!) I almost mentioned "Victim" but wound up not doing so. He did play gay a couple of times when it was daring to do so. I have a friend who swears that any actor who plays gay onscreen three different times is thus proclaimed so IRL... LOL One of Terry Moore's greatest contributions was her very cute son, who also got naked in the movies! ;-)<br /><br />Robert, I really don't seek to jibe with a site like Wikipedia, but in any case, what I wrote was that Diana Dors was ONCE married to Richard Dawson, followed by her death information and the trivia about her widower (who was not Dawson, but her third of three husbands.) I'm sorry if my condensed caption on her caused any confusion and prompted a "correction," but it never dawned on me that anyone would think that Dors and Dawson were married up through the mid-80s when she died...!

Live for her in "Berzerk" but when she was younger she was really quite pretty. Apparently Mitzi Gaynor is second only to the Gabors in fame if you are Hungarian (I am dating one). Sad about Mario Lanza (truck driver?) didn't know he died so young and in that way. I have seen movies where he and Katherine Grayson sang their heads off together and made a nice couple.<br />Dirk Bogarde bravely did the scorcher "Victim" in the 60's so I always felt like he was a little out. There is a British documentary on Judy Garland, and he is refreshingly candid about making "I could Go On Singing" with her.<br />When I see Terry Moore I think of her overheated character in "Peyton Place" as well as her later-in-life Playboy spread(sorry), and the disputed marriage to Howard Hughes.

Maybe on TNT a hundred years ago, cropped and grainy. If it's run on TCM or a high-def movie channel I will definitely watch. Love the term "breastuses" (and, yes, I've seen that intriguing photo. Interesting way to read a paperback book...! Ha!)<br /><br />Scooter, this is confession day, obviously. I've never seen TKAM either! I just read the book for the first time last summer. I make it a point to pick at least one "literary" type of novel to read by the pool every summer and that was last year's. I'm not saying Peck isn't solid and effective at times, but there's such a staid, stiff, reserved quality to him that I cannot get into and even when he tried to break it I mostly felt embarrassed for him. I think I liked him best when he played very hard, driven, determined men (such as in "The Bravados") and I did like "The Omen," but so many of his other pictures either leave me wanting or I like them more due to his costars (as in the case of "Arabesque.")Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-49645099332431870812017-06-30T07:12:13.809-04:002017-06-30T07:12:13.809-04:00Funny, I've never warmed to Gregory Peck eithe...Funny, I've never warmed to Gregory Peck either.
