DR Jennifer..

Check out yesterday's notes to listen

Where in yesterday's notes? That is why I asked if you could re-link.

Pretty please.

I'm hopeful that will be the episode they show before a new one pops up again, but this Sunday is the repeat of the season premiere, so I'm not sure they'll get to it without skipping some episodes. But it'll come back around one of these Sundays.

DR Ron, the showing of STRICTLY BALLROOM on IFC is going to be widescreen. I'll have to let the internal line doubler in my TV serve as its own anamorphic enhancement.

Really can't wait to see it now.

Watch out for the 2nd Runner up to the winner in the 1958 Miss America. Dangerous and should have stayed in her little corner of the world IMHO.

Matt H. · « **Reply #95 on:** December 09, 2003, 01:32:40 PM »

I would like to watch that pageant, but tonight is a crowded night of TV watching for me with lots of shows having new episodes and a new Peanuts special, too (though none of the recent ones can compare to the early ones).

Three Days of the Condor (based on the novel Six Days of the Condor) has always been one of my favorite films, but I never looked at it as a Robert Redford film, but more as a Max Von Sydow one.

oh no jen.. no fun in relinking.. you must go back and consider the quest a treasure hunt....

By the way, a "lawyer" who contributes (in a manner of speaking) to filmus-l lamented in a post today that he tried to watch "Angels in America" but that he was so bored after 40 minutes that he had to switch it off!

I know who wins!

BUT...do you know who crowns her? The reigning Miss America of 1957 -- Marian McKnight, Miss South Carolina, 1957!!!!!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #101 on:** December 09, 2003, 01:52:54 PM »

Thanks for the link Ron.Cute.

Was she a librarian Ron?

I’m getting ready to leave for L.A. again so I’m mostly lurking today-so, very quickly.

Ladodgerjon thank you for the wonderful story.

Charles Pogue, wishing you good opinions from the mount.

Panni I hope you hear something soon.

Matt H. · « **Reply #105 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:10:19 PM »

Of course I knew it was Marian McKnight who crowned her, and do you remember what Marian did for her talent the year she won? A Marilyn Monroe impersonation.

What did Mary Nancy Denner of Oklahoma ever do to you, Tom from Oz?

Are you sure you're not confusing her with the 2nd Runner-Up of 1959 -- Miss Anita Bryant?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #107 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:13:12 PM »

They hauled out as many former Miss Americas as they could cajole into making a TV appearance some years ago (in the 90s), and Marian McKnight was still stunning! It made me SO PROUD! Sniff.

I was perusing a listing of winners and runners-up, and I'm under an impression that South Carolina has had more first runners-up than anyone! (Always a bridesmaid, seldom a bride).

I just read that Paul Simon died. Is this true? If so, I'm very sad and very sorry. Loved "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

Wrong Paul Simon. "SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Paul Simon (search), the former US senator and presidential candidate, died Tuesday, a day after undergoing heart surgery. He was 75".

Craig · « **Reply #110 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:17:18 PM »

Matt-

He just had a concert the other night in NYC.. haven't seen anything online either.. maybe it's the Paul Simon in politics??

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:20:42 PM »

I won’t be back from L.A. until the end of next week. A very early birthday wish to Tom from Oz. Hope you have a great day.

Matt H. · « **Reply #112 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:21:27 PM »

Thanks for the specifics. The headlines I read didn't identify WHICH Paul Simon!

It was SENATOR Paul Simon who died, not the entertainer.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #113 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:22:21 PM »

Joel Whitburn got it wrong. Not me! Thanks for the correction. Can you let Joel know for future editions.

Yay for slacking off at work. My boss is in England at the moment, so I get some much needed downtime.

Warning...ranting ahead...
So at the bookstore where I work, the back desk area is where I spend most of my time if I'm not at the register out front. There is a register back here, for when things get too crowded...also faculty members sometimes like to come back here for department charges. But since my boss is gone at the moment, the register is closed, locked, and I don't have a key to get it started. So just now a lady came over, dumped a whole load of stuff on the counter, and looked at me expectantly. I explained very politely that the register was closed for the day. She glared, really GLARED at me and said "Are you sure?" "well, yes." "Even for department charges? I work here, you know." and I really felt like saying "oh, well in that case, I'll inform the register that you work here and it will of course automatically start itself up." but I didn't, I just smiled and showed her to the front desk. Argh!!! The nerve of some people!

Not to worry Matth, that Miss America 1958 will run several times this month..along with Miss America 1983.

Matt H. · « **Reply #116 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:48:50 PM »

Thanks, DR MBarnum. I will keep my eyes on my cable guide to see when it will pop up again.

I don't know Joel Whitburn. I don't read Joel Whitburn.

Joel Whitburn is not a friend of mine.

Someone who relies upon Joel Whitburn will have to let him know!

Yes DR MG - the United States Liners ended up touring the Hawaiian Islands, and Susanna Pomeroy was surely missed...shades of Benjamin Kritzer.

I think I know who won the Miss America Title in 1958 - didn't she later become Jed Clampett's daughter in law? Meow.

Trivia question: Why was there no Miss America 1950?

Allison Hayes was of course Miss Washington DC in 1948.

And here she is just a few years later, shortly after declaring that she wanted to play GBS' Joan Of Arc...

Jrand73 · « **Reply #119 on:** December 09, 2003, 03:00:05 PM »

Yes, DRAnn.....it is the same with the switchboard where I fill in, you tell the person the line is busy....and they say "This is long distance" whereupon sometimes I feel like saying: "Oh well in that case I will put you right through!"
