The running gag with Segal not being able to drive the car and her correcting him is really cute.

After the golk match:

Segal: What's wrong now?

Jackson: You mean other than you're still in second?

LOL LOL

Now I HAVE to get out my old VHS copy.....

I haven't chimed in about the TOD, mmostly due to being so busy at work today, and mostly due to most of my favorite books already having been mentioned.

Not Since Carrie, the Mandelbaum book on Michael Bennett, the Chorus Line books...all good (not sure if I saw anyone mention "What They Did For Love" or "On the Line," but the others mentioned are also good).

There was a Barrymore bio a few years back...about all three of them...it was pretty enlightening. (THE Barrymores, not Miss Drew)

I could re-read THE SEASON or the original SONDHEIM & CO. eternally.

In fact, before I ever actually reread my copy of SONDHEIM & CO., I gaze upon the personal inscription and autograph addressed to me by none other than Mr. BK's close personal friend, the subject of the book himself, Mr. Stephen Sondheim.

I definitely agree! I can't remember off my head who she was up against, but it was a shock.

I remember who registered the greatest shock on her face: Joanne Woodward who was nominated for and was fully expected to receive it for SUMMER WISHES, WINTER DREAMS.

"Hop Hop Hop to Hoppers..."

That runs through my mind a couple times a month.

Van Dyke has that great monologue where he is just barking detailed instructions at all his secretaries. Love it!

I injured my back at work and had to come home. Wearing a back brace. In much pain.

I do have THE HOUSE INSIDE MY HEAD, the self-righteous self-congratulatory book Mary Rodgers wrote about building her dream home in Connecticut. Wonder who lives there now?

No offense, my dear man, but I think you mean Dorothy, not Mary.

I liked George S. Kaufmann bio by Howard Teichman.

Some bios are of movie people but have great stage reminiscences as well: I recently read a W.C. Fields bio. And the Montgomery Clift bios really get into his NY stage life quite thoroughly.

Matt H. · « **Reply #187 on:** August 30, 2005, 01:44:49 PM »

Curiosity got the best of me. The Best Actress nominees in addition to Glenda Jackson and Joanne Woodward were Barbra Streisand (THE WAY WE WERE), Marsha Mason (CINDERELLA LIBERTY), and Ellen Burstyn (THE EXORCIST).

DR Vixmom, I received the CD that you sent me. Thanks! I'm listening to it here at work. I was going to send you a PM, but I got the message: Error: The recipient does not have any room left in their inbox. Try sending the message later. So, I'm letting you know here. Again, thanks!

Oh good!! I hope you like it. They are my favorite band (guess its all those Scottish/Irish/English genes I'm carrying)

Must empty out my mailbox I guess!!

FRIENDS?

Ta-DA!

In an episode of "Friends," Monica was preparing some food for a "food critic" played by Jon Lovitz. She had done some "amuse bouches" and "onion tartlets"...but she was preparing only one course at a time.

Lovitz shows up with Phoebe who picked him up in her grandmother's cab. Phoebe reports to Monica that he got stoned on the ride over.

He has the munchies. The "amuse bouches" disappear. He wants more and Monica says she will soon have some "onion tartlets".

"Tartlets"?

"Tartlets"?

Lovitz is hilarious in this. He goes into the kitchen and finds a bag of gummi bears and decides to eat those. Monica is determined he will eat only what she prepares. It's an hysterical scene, IMO.

Maybe this shouldn't bother me, but I heard a newsperson and later a public official say about the hurricane: "This is our tsunami."

Why must we reference the devastation through a different tragedy? I heard this as well when the tubes were bombed in London. "This is their September 11."

They are wholly independent, incomparable events, awful enough in their reality that they don't need the added emotional baggage of a tie-in to another event.

But maybe that's just me. Mainly, I hope plentiful help is on the way.

I expected Streisand to win for "The Way We Were", with Burstyn being my second favorite choice.

I was totally not upset, though, for Jackson, even though I didn't think she should have won it so soon after "Women in Love."

Fortunately, Burstyn won for a terrific performance in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," but lost, to my continued dismay, for "Resurrection". There was no finer performance by a woman in the 1980s than Burstyn in that role, IMO.

I knew the phrase sounded familiar but I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. I could imagine his saying it, but I was trying to see in my mind's eye who else was in the scene with him, and I suddenly thought of Courtney Cox.

Lovitz does "stoned" like a master.

I think maybe he's been there once or twice.

Since THE EXORCIST had been such a smash hit, I was expecting Burstyn. Woodward had won the NY Critics' Award, and Jackson and Mason had each won GOlden Globes in the Comedy and Drama categories, and Streisand was far and away the biggest female star at the box-office then, so it was a toss-up really about who would win. As it turned out, the one actress of the four who didn't attend the ceremony ended up winning. I think even Jackson was surprised she won when she heard the news.

Matt H. · « **Reply #199 on:** August 30, 2005, 01:59:53 PM »

Yes, Burstyn won the next year for ALICE, and I agree completely that she deserved to win again for RESURRECTION, a devastating performance and a wonderful movie.

BB6 Stuff:

April has reportedly said that there must be some seriously messed up viewers to have selected Janelle for America's Choice over any one of the "disciples."

There's Dumb (Maggie), Dumber (April), Dumbest (Beau) and D'Oh (Ivette)!

Never heard of either of these books...and now I am on a quest.

A worthy quest - use Amazon to link to used book sellers - they are both out of print.

Thou Swell, Thou Witty has exhaustive Hart Lyrics and lots of marvelous photos from original stage productions.

B,B&B has lots of insights into the Rodgers and Hart relationship and is filled with extracts of interviews from contemporaries and is nicely footnoted.

Once again, curiosity got the better of me, and I had to know who beat Ellen Burstyn out for the Oscar when she was nominated for RESURRECTION.

The answer - Sissy Spacek for COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER. Tough call. That was also the year Mary Tyler Moore was up for ORDINARY PEOPLE, Goldie Hawn was up for PRIVATE BENJAMIN, and Gena Rowlands was nominated for GLORIA.

"This is our tsunami," Biloxi Mayor A.J. Holloway told the Biloxi Sun Herald.

I think the motivation behind the Tsunami reference is to attract public attention to the disaster in Mississippi, which though horrendus, is hiding under the even more devastaring (and photogenic) debacle in New Orleans.

As was true for the Tsunamis, it will be days before we get a fair reckoning of the extent of the disaster - and, I suspect, the Mayor of Biloxi fears his cities plight won't reach the hight of public awareness necessary to attrack the needed relief.

Likely true, Der B, and certainly more of a motivated thing than the media's use of the term (which I heard prior to the storm even hitting land).
