Couldn't the overflow audience be invited to an invited dress? (Sometimes, that can feel even more special.)

George, thanks for that link in last night's posts to Rita Moreno at the Hollywood Bowl! That was fun!

Of course, this other prescient (or was it?) lap dance Rita Moreno gave Charlie Rose on morning TV on his 75th birthday, playing her character from "One Day at a Time"

And yes, it sounds to me like Rita's singing "Happy birthday to Jew!"

RITA MORENO, FROM TAP DANCE TO LAP DANCE - my new retrospective article.

What was that quote (almost): The EGOT-winning gifted Ms. Moreno has never passed up an opportunity to complain about her wonderful rewarding career in show business.

Good afternoon, all!

I haven’t kept up with the career of Johnny Whitaker. I guess I can google it.

I'm up, I'm up - about six and a half hours of sleep.

Yes, Whitaker is singing from Tom Sawyer.

There is no invited dress.

bk · « **Reply #40 on:** July 11, 2018, 10:34:38 AM »

Or any dress.

Hmm, if there's no dress, that costuming choice might appeal to Charlie Rose.

When I was a wee tyke, I always assumed it was the actors playing Buffy and Jody who were the actual stars of FAMILY AFFAIR. So I'd thought for quite a while that Brian Keith was the actor playing Jodie and Sebastian Cabot was the actress playing Buffy.

I was excited to see that "Brian Keith" was starring with Doris Day when when I went to see "With Six You Get Eggroll" (on a double bill with Elvis in "Clambake") and then realized while watching the film who Brian Keith was, that he was the adult Uncle Bill, and that Buffy and Jody (who were the show's "stars" to very young me) weren't credited until the FAMILY AFFAIR closing credits.

From Bruce:

Quote

I think you mean "start" doing his job - he's not doing his job at all. I literally had to tell him not to do ANYTHING until after he's done the move on Friday other than our rehearsal for ninety minutes tomorrow.

I wrote "Bruce I hope the guy is ok after the move and you can stop doing is job." That should have been his vs is which kind of changed the meaning. Yes, I hope after the move you can stop doing his job and he will begin doing his job.

Oh, this is funny. When did you finally see THE PARENT TRAP?

FJL · « **Reply #45 on:** July 11, 2018, 11:48:46 AM »

Fun random stuff from the "With Six You Get Eggroll" wiki page:

Blended family premise

The film was released only four months after United Artists' Yours, Mine and Ours. While both films have the same premise—that of a widow and a widower marrying each other and creating a blended family—the United Artists film was based on a true story and was a huge commercial success (if not critical) becoming the 11th highest-grossing film of the year.

Although there are similarities between this film [ meaning ...Eggroll ] , Yours, Mine and Ours and the later ABC television show The Brady Bunch that premiered in 1969, the original pilot script for The Brady Bunch predated the scripts for both of these films.

I recall seeing THE PARENT TRAP on TV first. Never in the movie theater, as far as I can remember. I'm pretty sure it was in our apartment on East 14th Street in Flatbush, before we moved to Luna Park-Coney Island area, so it had to be before I was 10.

You're welcome! Jerry Herman's Broadway at the Hollywood Bowl was the very first DVD that I ever owned! I remember buying it in a no-longer-existing DVD store in the Capitol Mall on the west side of Olympia (the mall is still there, though). Since I started buying CDs four years before I ever bought a CD player, which I still have, I knew that I'd get a DVD player someday. I don't remember how long it was before I got a DVD player, but it wasn't four years.

Maybe I should ask if Kevin will attend?

I was just wondering that myself.

I’m wondering too! It doesn’t look good. I’m on the waitlist but that probably won’t matter. BK—do you think I should fly out there and hope there’ll be a cancellation ?!

KevinH · « **Reply #49 on:** July 11, 2018, 01:12:24 PM »

I see I did another great job of “quoting!”

Waiting for the dentist. Joy.

I spent the morning doing damage control and stuff that I should not have to do, but I think it will help - I have someone printing out and taping all the band stuff and he'll Fed Ex that by Thursday (next) or sooner. He'll also be able to deal with any key changes should we need them. I called in yet another favor so the drums and bass parts that need to be done for another song will get done so one less thing to worry about. I still have two arrangements to work out, but that isn't going to happen until Sunday. I also have to go to Staples and get a couple of things printed and scanned onto a flash drive - I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** July 11, 2018, 03:09:54 PM »

Now working on liner notes and packaging stuff for the release we'll hopefully announce either tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight, probably the latter.

I had my hair cut today and picked up a little Hollywood gossip...

Jeanne · « **Reply #56 on:** July 11, 2018, 03:34:30 PM »

One of Richard's hairdresser friends from his studio days called him. An actress from a very popular TV show went into a large Beverly Hills hair salon to have her color touched up. She was charged an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money AND they botched it. The friend wanted to know if Richard could fix it. He did. Richard's shop is a little, no-frills place nowhere near Beverly Hills. Nowhere near the prices, either.

Hollywood gossip-lol

Jeanne · « **Reply #58 on:** July 11, 2018, 03:36:41 PM »

As you can see, I have no news.

I did, however, order a desktop AC unit and will fill you all in on it once it arrived and I've had a chance to use it.

Stay cool. TTFN.

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** July 11, 2018, 04:35:11 PM »

Good luck the AC works well, and arrives quickly.
