I saw Zero to Sixty in a ratty, grainy, cropped print on Encore Action years ago. Now that widescreen HD is much more popular, I'd like to see it in its true format and with a better quality picture, though I'm sure it's still pretty bad. Ken, that's very interesting about the telephone model. <br /><br />Scooter, I presume you've seen Airport '77, in which I find McGavin one of the most likeable, dependable people and in which he has some amusing offhanded lines. He had a reputation for being petty and difficult (and tangled badly with Burt Reynolds during their show Riverboat), but whether justified or not, created amiable characters on screen.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-13911578464470641052012-09-04T08:21:54.871-04:002012-09-04T08:21:54.871-04:00I know this is off point and purely tangential but...I know this is off point and purely tangential but I've always liked Darren McGavin!Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874254346853382934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-85722498322838297802012-09-01T17:39:34.396-04:002012-09-01T17:39:34.396-04:00I am completely floored by the images you are able...I am completely floored by the images you are able to find, the pertinent points of interest within them (the young lady with something in her eye in the Matt Helm pic cracked me up for some reason), and their broad range of awfulness. While the John Davidson is perhaps the most terrifying, I have to say I absolutely adore the Shirley Knight one. Such a serious actress (then) it's a hoot to see her in this bizarre pic. She she actually looks like she's been caught "doing" something to that penis bottle, and her hand couldn't be more inappropriate.<br />Lastly, I took great in seeing the lady in the phone bikini, because (as a longtime "Hazel" fan) I recognize her as the last employer of Shirley Booth's buttinsky maid in the final season, I think. She was so prim in that show, it's a riot to see her all mod and everything.<br />I wish your blog was a TV show on LOGO or something (like a gay MST3K)...it's always so much fun for me (and quite a camp history lesson!)Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-55374395197835075952012-08-29T23:34:47.232-04:002012-08-29T23:34:47.232-04:00Fun as always.

Joan Collins always swung from being a hot mess to looking classy and I love her for it. <br /><br />I have to admit to seeing Zero to Sixty on purpose through Netflix instant watch merely for the chance to see the actress who played Violet in Willy Wonka grown up, it was her last acting job and lets say a great thespian was not lost to the world. The whole picture was dreadful but beside Joan, Darren and Violet the pic also features Sylvia Miles at her most strident, Lyle Waggoner(!?) the briefly popular Hudson Brothers, who are awful and saddest of all Gordon MacRae in a throwaway role a million miles from Carousel and Oklahoma! So its fun in a train wreck sort of way.<br /><br />Connie Stevens is a constant walking talking camp explosion with that overfrosted hair in some style approximating a long shag decades after it went out of fashion and clothing taste that leans heavily towards the too tight and very loud. <br /><br />So many other great things in the article, love the Valley of the Dolls cartoon, the Susan Hayward/Helen Lawson character is priceless! And that John Davidson "glamour" photo is horrifying, the worst thing about it is the thought that he had to approve it and did. Yikes!!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
