One play I've always wanted to see:

"The Beauty Part", which starred Bert Lahr when it opened on Broadway.

Well, I guess I shall mosey on over to the recording studio. Send excellent vibes and xylophones from noon to four, please.

Keep the home fries burning until my returning.

I must rustle up a dinner partner for a celebratory dinner. Perhaps Miss Tammy Minoff will be availably available.

I don't know from Robert Osborne's eyes and weight - although he certainly looks different from month to month, and anything is possible.

I only know that back in 1959 when he was one of the Desilu Workshop Players, he was a safe enough date to escort the still married Mrs Desi Arnaz to a musical at the Huntington Hartford.

A play I have always somehow wanted to see was AUNTIE MAME, with Miss Joan Collins. Of course, I thought of this casting 10 years ago, when she was still a viable actress. Well, at least as viable as she ever was.

I'm off to lunch, so here are my

I'll bet Michelle Lee would be a decent Mame Dennis.

I would like to do MEASURE FOR MEASURE

or, an updated LOVERS AND OTHER STRANGERS.

Ben · « **Reply #99 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:20:07 PM »

Yes, Stuart, I would also like to see a production of Auntie Mame. Don't know who to star in it though.

And I would like to see a production of Light Up the Sky. Again, I don't know who should star.

Ben · « **Reply #100 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:21:29 PM »

A production of The Ruling Class, (it was a play before it was a film) though who could top Peter O'Toole?

William F. Orr · « **Reply #101 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:25:51 PM »

Well, we all know that Majel Barrett has always wanted to play Auntie Mame. I don't know why no one has mounted a production around her.

William F. Orr · « **Reply #102 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:28:30 PM »

As I stated last week, I would like to have seen Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf with Joseph Cotton and Bette Davis.

But who as Nick and Honey? Perhaps a young Jimmy Stewart and Judy Holliday.

William F. Orr · « **Reply #103 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:30:48 PM »

And then there was the production that was planned in the 70's but never produced: Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra with Quentin Crisp and Holly Woodlawn. Now that would have been, if not something to see, at least something to be able to say you had seen.

Ben · « **Reply #104 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:31:31 PM »

Until I checked I thought perhaps that Majel Barrett was Brent Barrett's drag name. I had no idea who she is. Now I know.

That come under "fun couples" Brent and Majel Barrett; Richard and Marni Nixon...

William F. Orr · « **Reply #107 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:35:25 PM »

Oh, I'd go to see Brent playing Auntie Mame. Just to hear him sing, "If He Walked into my Life".

William F. Orr · « **Reply #108 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:46:49 PM »

So lonely. Just Ben and me.

Hey, there's a title for a children's book!

Matt H. · « **Reply #109 on:** May 03, 2005, 12:57:35 PM »

'24' managed another riveting hour of television last night. An absolutely amazing show with non-stop suspense and situations that make one ponder what he would do if faced with such earth-shaking and life-shattering decisions.

William F. Orr · « **Reply #110 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:01:08 PM »

Me and Ben,
We'd wait around till ten.

Matt H. · « **Reply #111 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:01:18 PM »

I've read that Bette Davis was devastated when Mike Nichols didn't offer her Martha in the film version of WHO"S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF. But honestly, as much as I love much of her work, I can't picture her in the part. Oh, the act I braying would be right up her alley, but by act III, I can't see her pulling off Martha's collapse.

Maybe I've just seen Liz and the film too many times to consider it anything but perfect the way it is.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #112 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:02:15 PM »

I remember someone doing "drag names" here a couple of years back...something about the name of your first pet matched with the name of the first street you lived on.

Mine was: Dinky-Boo Young!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #113 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:04:29 PM »

DR BEN - I saw a production of Moss Hart's LIGHT UP THE SKY many years ago at the sad and pathetic (still) Indiana Repertory Theatre....and I laughed so hard, I had tears in my eyes. That play is hilarious....and gave me one of my favorite lines I still use today:

ACTRESS: And suddenly in my dream, I wouldn't let anyone else speak. I was doing everyone's lines. The play was entirely about me!

DIRECTOR: That Freud was a great doctor, wasn't he?

And of course the mother's great curtain line: "Gin. Goddammit!"

Jrand73 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:04:54 PM »

Hi, Dinky.

Say hello to Ricky St. Clair!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #115 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:06:20 PM »

Couldn't agree more DRMATTH. Ever since we "sneaked" into the drive in to see it, I have thought Taylor, Burton, Dennis, and Segal were wonderful....Taylor especially was a surprise. And it was SHOCKING to hear the things that were said!

Hi, Pepper, is your day going better now?

MBarnum · « **Reply #119 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:20:41 PM »

LOL! Yes. I was just a big grumpy this morning...we have no air conditioning today and it is hot and humid...plus I left my lunch on the kitchen counter

But I ordered some DVDs from Oldies.com (including 2 new discs of Private Secretary!!) and now I am feeling quite contented.
