Always wonderful to see you here DR Kerry.

Kerry · « **Reply #122 on:** June 15, 2004, 07:52:50 PM »

Tom,

Can I have a live hug?

Kerry · « **Reply #123 on:** June 15, 2004, 07:53:51 PM »

Tom, you too my dear friend. Yes, I'm here. Well, almost all of me is here. Part of me is at the Cinegrill I think.

Kerry · « **Reply #124 on:** June 15, 2004, 07:57:09 PM »

I'm off again. No glamorous nightclubs for me. Oh no. I have dinner to make and clothes to wash. Thrilling as always.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #125 on:** June 15, 2004, 07:57:44 PM »

Next year is a chance Kerry! Organise for the tour of "Wicked" to be in Phoenix about October!

watching Happiest Millionaire. truly dreadful. So far no one memorably song. Fred McMurray's 1st song sounds a lot like A British Bank from Mary Poppins. did Greer Garson sing her on her own. Eddie Hodges from Broadway's Music Man came and went very quickly. As did Paul Peterson. Thankfully it is almost an 1 hr into the film and no John Davidson.

spoke too soon he makes his entrance at the 54 and a half minute mark. I guess he was good looking.

Where's for lunch DRs Joy and Noel and Mr BK?

And how about those irritating child performances in movies? I would think that television moppets would be too numerous to mention.

I will start with:

Miss Evelyn Rudie....who was ELOISE on tv (broke my rule) and co starred with Lauren Bacall in The Gift of Love.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #129 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:15:33 PM »

OMG....Evelyn Rudie is now the Artistic Director of the Santa Monica Playhouse.

Matt H. · « **Reply #130 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:16:20 PM »

No one has mentioned Peggy Ann Garner in A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN yet. She won a special Oscar for that. I have to admit, I've never seen that movie all the way through.

Matt H. · « **Reply #131 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:18:39 PM »

I find Jane Withers as a child actress irritating.

Matt H. · « **Reply #132 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:19:49 PM »

Another child performer I liked was Darryl Hickman. Yes, baby brother Dwayne became better known as Dobie Gillis, but Darryl as a young boy in some MGM films is very appealing.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #133 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:20:07 PM »

Didn't mind Johnny Crawford's as a singer but I loathed him in "Rifleman". Can't remember ever watching the Donna Reed show so have no opinion of Paul Petersen. Didn't ever watch the Partridge Family nor the Brady Bunch. "My Three Sons" I remember quite fondly. Didn't like Jay North as Dennis much but "The Beaver" was fine.

If we're going to start listing irritating kids in the movies (and not just those seated with us), I nominate Eric Shea, in The Poopside-Down Adventure. Danged brat, Shelley Winters must have been gagging every time she had to say he was "such a dear, sweet boy." I can hear her now: "Is it time for my heart attack yet? Oh, thank GAWD! I'm outta here!"

S. Woody White · « **Reply #135 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:25:44 PM »

Listing TV brats is cheating, way too easy! (Can we say Olson Twins? Do we need to?)

Jrand73 · « **Reply #136 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:25:54 PM »

LOL....dRMATTH have you ever seen Jane Withers is a movie called - I think - THE GIRL FROM AVENUE A? She plays a little girl who does good deeds for people and is really quite sweet, the opposite of what she usually played.

Jenny · « **Reply #137 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:28:47 PM »

By far the most talented children to ever appear in a motion picture are those random tap dancing boys and girls from "An Affair To Remember". Is there any reason for that scene to be in the movie?

S. Woody White · « **Reply #138 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:29:31 PM »

Irritating brat nominee, female: Monique Vermont, as Amaryllis in the original Music Man. Winthrop wasn't lisping, he was trying to get the bad taste out of his mouth!

How about the three children from "Houseboat"? ::shudders::

Matt H. · « **Reply #140 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:31:47 PM »

I've seen Jane in a few B-movies where she played nice and not mean as she did in A-features. Whether mean or nice, I just find her irritating. I understand she's one of the nicest people ever in Hollywood, but I'm strictly speaking of her child persona. Didn't mind her as an adult performer at all.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #141 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:38:26 PM »

LOL....isn't that interesting, MATTH. I know some performers that other people enjoy that I can't watch.....chemistry between a performer and the audience (or majority of it) can make a star....or break one.

IT!!! Or I guess....ya gotta have eeeeeeeeeee-oooooooooooooo!

Irritating movie brat (more of a TV brat, actually): Pamelyn Ferdin. It was not just her mannerisms that made me dislike her, it was her voice! She ruined a lot of Charlie Brown specials for me during her tenure as Lucy.

I've read where she's an animal rights activist these days for an organization that believes that animals should have the right to vote.

Which role will you be playing, Mr. Oz?

TCB · « **Reply #145 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:24:26 PM »

On the good side of child actors, did anyone mention Ron Howard? He was so enduring in THE MUSIC MAN. Oh wait, maybe that was Buddy Hackett.

As for the original PARENT TRAP, I liked Haley Mills, but I didn't care for the girl who played her sister.

Well, Dan the Man, welcome to the West Coasters club. We usually plot world domination when we are together, but I suppose we can skip that tonight, since you are here.[/font]

OMG....Evelyn Rudie is now the Artistic Director of the Santa Monica Playhouse.

Yes, in my previous life in LA, my ex-husband directed a play there, so I knew her slightly at the time. My daughter still owns two pair of red cotton bikini undies which have Santa Monica Playhouse written on them. Classy. I got them as a present at the time and passed them on to her. Call me crazy, but I didn't want them.

(This is my second post about underwear in two days. Hmmmm....)

Dear Readers, I don't know whether to cry or to vomit on the floor. I have a roach in my apartment. I swear to the god of household pests, I don't know if I can take much more. First it was mice, and now I've got a roach!! And it's two inches long...at least. I saw it last night and then it disappeared, but I saw it again tonight and I so desperately want to kill it and be done. This is only the second time in the two years I've lived in this apartment that I've seen a roach...it had better not indicate future problems.

Yeah, I'm on to the whole lot of you. Better cut me in on the deal or I'm gonna send a link to this here website to the World News Weekly and blow your whole deal sky high.

Just watched the Beastie Boys on Letterman. Aren't these guys pushing 35? And they're still doing frat boy rap. They did a live single shot walk from the subway to the Letterman Theatre and they looked winded.

You better get a humane trap to capture it and then set it free in the wild or Pamelyn Ferdin will be all over your ass.
