Today, my scene partner and I are going to meet and go through our lines a few times.

That'll really help both of us. We'll finally be able to go through it as many times as we need to.

Dreadful night: I watched the PBS hour of Downton Abbey at 8:00, and that ended at 8:50. I took one extra-strength Tylenol and one Tylenol PM, and went to bed. Four hours later I was still awake and still in pain. At some point after 1:00 I did nod off, and I spent the remainder of the night until 6:15 tossing, dozing, and fighting pillows.

After I fed the cats, I took a naproxine and a tizanidine, and went back to bed. I slept until 8:30 or so, when all three cats got in bed with me. By 9:00 I decided the bed was too small for all of us - especially sionce all Stella wanted to do was wrestle with Thatch and annabelle - and got up.

No word from my doctor about a stronger pain med, which really angers me because it means there won't be any word until Monday, if then.

Speaking of Downton Abbey, I saw the movie Thursday night. It was an advance screening (obviously) and moviegoers got a little Highclere Castle snowglobe.

KevinH · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2019, 06:47:38 AM »

I enjoyed the movie quite a lot. It's kind of silly at times but it's just so much fun seeing those characters again!

T.O.D.

THE TOWERING INFERNO is the best of them all.

B.K.

I didn't like LAWMAN either.

It had great potential, but...

On this date in 1951, one of Hollywood's most sordid scandals broke in the nation's press.

What happened?

"B" movie actor Tom Neal beat the s**t out of Franchot Tone, destroying his good looks and turning him into a "character actor". It all happened because both men were involved with Warner Brothers actress Barbara Payton, who had co-starred in movies with James Cagney, Gary Cooper and Gregory Peck.

This is a juicy story that kept on giving. Tone retreated to New York, and his career would survive. Not so for Payton or Neal. Both of them were virtually "blacklisted" from the business. She would, eventually, be arrested for prostitution, and he would be convicted for murdering his wife.

On a personal note: In 1964, for 3 months, I lived in the same apartment building as Ms. Payton, but that's another story.

I've dramatized the Tone-Payton-Neal scandal in my play, B MOVIE, which is available in both paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.
