DR S. Woody White - I'm not familiar with the others, but the Lee Bros tome is indeed excellent. Bon Appetit!

The play is called Cuttin' Up by Charles Randolph-Wright. Don't know anything about it.

I'm assuming I'll go to the nearby Meheecan joint where I always have my pre-Pasadena Playhouse dinners.

Shortly I shall be on my way.

I think der B and I ate there once or twice. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Back from dinner at Marseilles, and then dropping off Skip and Dear friend Ellen Schwartz at Curtains.

Once again, all this ketching up is exhausting. I'll have to relax by checking out a video of "Rose's Turn" if only I could remember what page it's linked on.

That is an interesting question. I know the first TV script I read and then had to audition for was when I read and then tested for a Danny Arnold pilot towards the end of 1970. I don't remember the show, but I liked the script. But, I'm sure I had some sort of TV script in my possession before that, knowing the kind of child I was, and it may have been a Red Skelton or Danny Kays Show script. I was fascinated by such things, and I know it would have been very interesting to me.

I liked the Partridge street - felt just like a real street. It was on the Columbia Ranch backlot in Burbank (and still is).

The Partridge's house was also the Kravitz's house in Bewitched and for a time it was soing double duty as the shows were being produced at the same time. Next door or two houses down was jeannie and masters house. Samatha's was up the street. It was a great street a lot of mermories. The Partridge's house was also later used as Patti LuPone's house in life goes on/

I guess Bernadette Peters as Mama Rose doesn't look so bad right now, huh?

Anything I might say here would be wrong on many levels.

We will of course expect a FULL Cuttin' Up report.

Hi gang..... I just thought I'd pop in for a minute. Yes indeedy.... DR Laura and I had some yummy stuff to eat for breakfast today. Well, truth be known, I ate a lot more than she did.

Dear Esteemed BK -- Is the "Columbia Ranch backlot" the one that has a corner entrance on Hollywood Way (on the way to the Burbank airport) ?? Is it also the location lot that was used by "Screen Gems" for some of their exteriors??

Maheecan Joint?

Did you hear about the two guys from Noo Yoik who were visiting Mexico City.

One: Do they have Jews in Mexico?
Two: I don't know I haven't seen any.
One: I'll ask the waiter....

Waiter: Si, Senor?

One: We were wondering, do you have any Mexican Jews?
Waiter: Hmmm.....I do not know. Let me ask the cook.

Waiter: (returns) No, Senor, we don't have any Mexican Jews?
Two: Are you sure?
Waiter: Si, Senor. We have Orange Jews, Tomato Jews, and Grapefruit Jews, but we don't have any Mexican Jews.

The Anderson family lived there, too!! And their home (and some of their furniture) was used in THE FLYING FONTAINES!!!

Hi DR Jack.....I very well may be wrong, but I think that the "Birdie" exterior stuff was done on the Universal backlot.

Here is one of those little "oddball tidbits" that our dear DR M(hunkalicious)Barnum seems to enjoy -- in 1969, I was doing an audio interview with Edith Head at her workroom on the Universal lot. Partway through our time together, she had to go check on some detail of the "Airport" shoot that was in progress, so she just told me to hop on her golf cart with her, and she drove me around Universal. She was a very interesting old dame !

She seems to have recently adapted, "Yes, I am wearing make up look," instead of that "all natural girl next door look" she used to have. Just way too much eye shadow for my taste - she almost looks goth.

I was thinking the same thing

Oh my DR MG - you show biz people lead such interesting lives...........

I would guess there are fewer than a dozen people around today who have been driven around in a golf cart by Ms. Edith Head!!!

Dear BK and Dear Readers,

How much do you look like your driver's license/I.D. picture? And how terrible a picture is it?

My picture really isn't too bad, in spite of the law that says all I.D. pictures have to be really bad. However, there was something funky going on with the camera and it looks like I have black streaks in my hair and am wearing black lipstick. So I look like a goth.

Have you ever visited the Yale campus? The Beineke rare book library is beautiful...constructed of alabaster, which glows translucently on the inside on a sunny day.

We spent a year in Woodbridge, Connecticut not far from New Haven. If only I had known such a gem was inside one of the buildings I would not have been satisfied with simply touring the campus.

Keith has been inside several building but not had the pleasure of viewing the book.

The most memorable trip to New Haven was seeing Tommy Tune in 42nd Street at the Schubert Theater.

My dad's grandmother actually met and danced with Lawrence Welk! She loved "The Lawrence Welk Show" and every week when it was on, she had to watch it. One year for her birthday (in her late 80s...she died when she was 92, I think), they were able to get front row tickets to see the show live! Well, during one number, Lawrence Welk picked her out of the audience and danced with her! I guess he used to do that all the time...but still. She was in heaven. If it's true (and if I remember correctly), my dad and his sisters tell the story that she fell asleep and died peacefully while watching the show.

Yesterday was a really schlocky day. The Bucket Chase Gang just WOULD NOT behave. They were rough-housing and picking on Trevor all during circle time when I was trying to read them a picture book. After every sentence, I had to tell them to cut it out. I separated them I don't know how many times, but they always ended up together again. And then all day, it was one thing after another. I was SO frustrated.

So after preschool was over, I went to a quickie mart and got a Cherry Coke. When I finished it, I went to Subway for a sammints and another Cherry Coke. I drank it all on the walk home, so I got a can of Cherry Coke out of the fridge.

It was definitely a three-Cherry-Coke day.
