I am very sorry to report that 1940s actress Ann Savage passed away yesterday at age 87. Many here may remember her as the leading lady in the film noir DETOUR. She also appeared in the recent film MY WINNIPEG.

I remember her best as the wannabe actress in the Blondie film FOOTLIGHT GLAMOUR.

Apparently I'm about to have a visit from our very own Miss Juliana A. Hansen.

Quick - wrap a present!

A palace, just for me. I always wanted a palace

Is this the confession of a J.A.P.?

Just the memories of a little girl who wanted to be a real princes, afterall she could feel the pea under the mattress.

As for that expression, I'm taking it the way it was meant however

and in this context is it funny, however......I really dislike it. Oddly enough I've know more Jewish women who use it than anyone else. Boy, do I get on them for that. I find it interesting I never even heard of it until someone asked me if I was one, that was in my mid-twenties.

I just had to say that

I just finished watching PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES.....sent to be by DR ELMORE. Doris Day and David Niven make a fine couple. Janis Paige is in for some laughs, Spring Byington plays Doris' mother, and Patsy Kelly is the maid.....

And four really cute kids.....Stanley Livingston, Flip Mark, Charles Herbert, and Baby Gelman (whose billing must mean Adam was played by twins.)

Well, DR JANE.....everyone knows you haven't really made it until you played The Palace....at least that's what Esther Blodgett said.

I am still horrified by your Sportsmen's Lodge story!

I'm having difficulties with my computer, or the connection. Everything is extremely slow & it the last post took a couple of minutes to go through. I have a feeling I might be cut off for the night. Keith's computer is at the computer shop. We dropped it off tonight with the one man emergency crew.

Met her at the Ray Courts autograph show a couple of years back. Nice lady.

Our old friend Flip. I haven't been in touch since our last class reunion. He was well & happy then.

I'm sorry I horrified you. Fortunately I got over it long ago. Since then there were far worst things I had to get over. A sense of humor is a very good thing to have even if it is slightly warped.

DH Richard and I have returned from a lovelier than lovely get together at the home of our and DR Elmore's friend Loyce. She assembled a delightful group of people and served some delicious Sloppy Joes and assorted side dishes. Her niece baked some heavenly cookies.

Ann Savage shore lived up to her name in DETOUR.

But as DR MBARNUM wrote, she was very different in FOOTLIGHT GLAMOUR!

Assorted Side Dishes - that is the title of my new CD.

DR GINNY aren't you up kind of late on a work night? I think that.....oh....wait a minute....Never Mind!

I saw one of the worst movies I've seen in my life. The audience was awash in laughter although the movie was not a comedy. The film is called The Spirit and I am hoping that Samuel L Jackson received big bucks for this film. This was not one of his finest hours. Way way over the top. I went to it because I enjoyed Sin City and this film was a big mistake. In my opinion Frank Miller has no talent as a director and even though he directed a portion of Sin City I am sure that the main director Robert Rodriguez was there looking over his shoulder. I wish I could describe every moment that was bad. My friend and I would look at each other in disbelief at what we were watching. The highpoint (and I will it at that) was when Mr. Jackson appear in a Gestapo uniform.

Sadly, any movie is suspect lately when Samuel L. Jackson is listed among its stars. $:-\$

However... From the trailers, it seemed liked the movie was set up to be some sort of Graphic Novel-inspired camp fest. Could you tell if anyone in the theater was actually laughing and not feeling "guilty" about laughing at the movie?

I had no idea it was suppose to be graphic novel camp fest. If they were trying at that then did not succeed. It did successfully gave the feeling of a graphic novel a la Sin City, but other than that, Yech!

People were laughing at the movie because what we were watching was inept and unbelievable bad. Several people did get up and leave the theater. It had been a long time since I've seen that happen.

I am also home from the partay and what a swell party it was. I saw friends I had not seen in 30 years, and it was great to see them. Loyce was a wonderful hostess and I'm grateful that she put the event together. Before the partay, i stopped at the cemetary to visit with Mom and Dad and to visit the grave of an old love who died in 1979 at the age of 22.

I think I will now head upstairs, go to bed, read a few chapters of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO and crash. Tomorrow morning, first thing, i have to run to Fed Ex to drop off my two cartons of work and pick up a carton to pack all my Christmas possessions and my old coat, which I will drop off to the Miamisburg Fed Ex Center on my way to the Dayton airport.

I'll be begging for travel vibes in the morning!
