The very heart of your writing shilst sounding agreeable at first, did not settle very well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but just for a while. I nevertheless have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do well to fill in those breaks. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being fascinated.

Some of these pictures (like MacLaine, Markham, West) would have pissed me off if I'd been the star in question! No wonder many big stars used to demand photo approval back in the day (and now?)<br /><br />F. Nomen, I too tried to check out those Americana cards! I bought three packs, I think, trying to see what they were like because they sounded as if they'd be wonderful, but the ones I got were really lame (they'd have to be for me to give up on such a thing. I usually become obsessed!)<br /><br />Ken, how hideous of you to mention "unrepeatable gossip" and then not repeat it! HAHAHA! Remember on "Hee Haw" (which I'm sure you watched repeatedly in your youth) when they'd sing that song: "Oh, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip... so you'd better be sure and listen close the first time!"?? Neat that you have him nearby like that.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-59876760780777278802014-01-15T16:41:04.261-05:002014-01-15T16:41:04.261-05:00I think "Anthony Queen" made my day!
Mi...I think "Anthony Queen" made my day! <br />Miss Ursula Andrews wasn't far behind. These are all so great.<br /><br />Don Marshall of "Land of the Giants" fame, lives in my building here in LA. He is very nice (although a character)and regales all who will listen with unrepeatable gossip about former love-interest, Diahann Carroll. He mostly makes the rounds at autograph and Star Trek conventions.Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-66266462104903099572014-01-11T18:25:26.643-05:002014-01-11T18:25:26.643-05:00A while ago in a dollar store I found some packs o...A while ago in a dollar store I found some packs of trading cards published by Panini under the name "Americana" in 2011. Picked up a pack on a whim and got five cards, for Jon Provost (Lassie), Jamie Donnelly (The Rocky Horror Show), Edd Byrnes (77 Sunset Strip), Barbara Morgan (teacher and astronaut) and Piper Laurie (all-around fabulous). Contemporary color pictures, all featuring the subject against a neutral background. Morgan's picture looks like an official NASA publicity picture, Laurie's looks like a red carpet picture, Donnelly has a purse over her shoulder so I'm thinking pap shot? No idea on the others. I was intrigued but not enough to buy them at 20 cents a card.F.

Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Ross, I especially love that somewhat pensive profile shot of her, Mia Farrow, Larry Hagman who looks adorable, Robert Stack, David Canary, after years of watching him on All My Children it's always surprising to see him with dark hair. And of course Ron Ely. They all look great.<br /><br />But in some cases the actors often resemble someone else even though the pix themselves are good. At first I thought that Julie Christie was Charlotte Rampling. Hope Lange is throwing off sort of a Joan Crawford attitude. Van Williams who for probably the only time in his life reminds me of an athletic Bob Denver. Claudia Cardinale has a whole Sally Field vibe going on. Speaking of Sally and the misspelling of her last name that seems to happen frequently. Last year when she was nominated for a supporting actress Oscar it was still misspelled in several articles and the woman was up for Hollywood's top prize not to mention she's Sally freaking Field!!, Gayle Hunnicutt has a sort of Jacqueline Bisset/Pamela Tiffin look happening. <br /><br />But some are just awful: I think that might be the worst picture I've ever seen of Shirley MacLaine. Deanna Lund who I always thought was a knockout when I was a kid looks like a wax figure with an atrocious wig. James MacArthur looks like he's been in a fight, what is that lump on his forehead? I always thought Monte Markham was so dreamy but that picture seems to highlight every one of his features in the worst possible light! I do remember his version of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, I loved it and his other series The Second Hundred Years that showed around the same time. Both were short lived but I never missed them when I was a kid. I could have sworn he also starred in The Ugliest Girl in Town, another short lived series that I always watched but it turns out that was Peter Kastner who looked nothing like him, so much for memory. And of course that ghastly picture of Adam West you pointed out.<br /><br />There are others but those struck me right off. Good, bad or indifferent it was a lot of fun looking through and reading your comments on them as always.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-53589246506665296392014-01-10T14:48:38.117-05:002014-01-10T14:48:38.117-05:00Gingerguy, Van Williams is one of my top faves and...Gingerguy, Van Williams is one of my top faves and you can find many photos of him sprinkled throughout The Underworld. Just click on his name in the righthand column and start the parade!<br /><br />Yes, MacArthur was the adopted son of Helen Hayes and writer Charles MacArthur. Such a cute, nice guy and a good actor.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-45615170483440624722014-01-10T14:06:37.088-05:002014-01-10T14:06:37.088-05:00Alejandro Rey, Peter Lupus, and Van Williams-hubba...Alejandro Rey, Peter Lupus, and Van Williams-hubba hubba! and wasn't James Macarthur the son of Helen Hayes?Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
