I want to add to my list of child performances
Sarah and Emma Bolger in IN AMERICA
...and it would be rude of me not to list (plus she did win the Emmy and a slew of other acting awards)
Kelsey Keel in MY LOUISIANA SKY

Yes, Spamalot, that's it. Not a wonderful title.

And one for Mahler.

Dear reader Jenny's lovely reviews of all three Kritzer books are up at amazon.com - check them out under their respective titles. And if you've read the books and haven't had time to do an amazon review (you know who you are, Mr. WFO, please take a few moments and do them - yes, it only takes a moment.

How could I have forgotten Shirley Temple! Wow...she was great in Baby Take a Bow and the one where James Dunn plays a pilot. Can't think of the title just at this moment.

Shirley Temple was pretty amazing, especially when you consider the caliber of most of the other child actors of the time (for example, the little girl who played Bonnie Blue in GWTW.) Even when it was evident that the script or the director mechanically called for her to turn on the waterworks, Shirley always did it so sincerely and with such honesty that she never failed to tug my heartstrings. It's a shame that most people tend to think of parodies of her work rather than the real thing.

Fact du jour:

"With disdain for appearances, Gustav Mahler made it a point to wear shabby hats and coats with torn linings."

He sounds like he was the Boy George of his time.

I wonder if the show will recreate the false starts and multiple opening titles music from the film in the overture. That was pretty funny.

I'm trying to be economical with my posts until I attain Godhood. _{(Oh, how they will pay...yes, indeed, they shall all pay...)}

I believe that's BRIGHT EYES. She sings "On the Good Ship Lollipop" in that one.

I also love HEIDI, THE LITTLE PRINCESS, and, of course, THE BLUE BIRD.

Did anybody see the new reality show by Survivor & The Apprentice's Mark Burnett? It's called The Casino (or Casino, I forget which).

There was one thing in particular that I couldn't understand. There was this big guy who was gambling at their casino. And he was a professional gambler/card counter.

Anyhow, what I don't get is how REAL could this be if they had this guy hooked up to a mike and camera? I get if the owners or singer have cameras following them. But it seems peculiar to me for them to be watching this gambler (trying to check if he's cheating), when he OBVIOUSLY knows he's being filmed.

Of the Shirley Temple pix I've seen, I think I like The Little Coloniel best, in which there's a marvelous sequence during which Miss Temple and Mr. Bill Robinson do a terrific dance together.

Panni, I still listen to things my mother told me, not that I listened when she was alive. I promised her to always clip coupons and to send in my Publisher’s House contests. Tomorrow she would have been 85.

Jane, tomorrow is my mother's birthday, too. She will be 62.

As for the Topic of the Day, I haven't thought of any that haven't already been mentioned, but here are the child performers that I like:

Drew Barrymore and Henry Thomas in "E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial"
Jamie Bell in "Billy Elliot"
Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz"
Kelsey Keel in "My Louisiana Sky"
Patty McCormick in "The Bad Seed" (I finally got to see this a few weeks ago!)
Tatum O'Neil in "Paper Moon"
Haley Joel Osment in "The Sixth Sense" and "Artificial Intelligence"
Natalie Wood in "Miracle on 34th Street"
Shirley Temple in just about anything

Say, where in tarnation IS everyone?

The little kids in Forbidden Games were wonderful. The girl in Pennies from Heaven (Bing Crosby version).

For those not aware of Canada's upcoming national election (June 28), here's a summary from Globe and Mail writer Margaret Wente:

I hate explaining Canadian politics to my American friends. "Things are going pretty well up here," I tell them. "The economy is booming. Everyone is glad we stayed out of the mess in Iraq. The separatist threat has died right down. Most people are pretty content with the government's policies, and they think our new Prime Minister's a very decent guy. So what we're going to do is throw him out and elect a guy we don't know much about who wants to fundamentally overhaul our country."

George · « **Reply #42 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:46:35 AM »

It's 3.00 am here in Melbourne. I am keeping Jose type hours. Next you know I'll be cleaning the house and eating chocolate whilst I bake cakes. Back to bed.

Good Afternoon!

OK! OK!! I'm up already!!!... Just five more minutes.... OK!...

After reading everyone else's choices for the Topic of the Day.... Sheesh! How could I have forgotten _____?!?!?!

Back to dawdling... Well, actually watching "The Young & The Restless".... -well, like I said, dawdling.

LOL!

-Just be sure to set out the butter to soften before you start anything... And I really do like "flouring" the pans with cocoa powder when making chocolate cakes... And, remember, that second mixing bowl for the Kitchen Aid stand mixer really does come in handy...

And re: the name Coco

I think the fact that the child will have famous parents will help. I don't think anyone will mock her.

Btw, I guess they got them name from COurteney COx. It's a cute name, although I have not heard it used for a kid (only animals).

I am not sure that Miss Chanel would like being called an animal.

This is truly nutty and a tad unprofessional 'cause I've been doing this for so long I should be able to do it no matter what, BUT... please, DRs, send me good writing vibes.
Thanking you in advance.

Jane · « **Reply #51 on:** June 15, 2004, 10:49:50 AM »

Panni, yes mustn’t forget Kelsey Keel in MY LOUISIANA SKY. We enjoyed both her performance and the movie very much.

George, happy birthday to your mother.

And to Ms. Staring at the screen GOOD WRITING VIBES!

Jennifer · « **Reply #52 on:** June 15, 2004, 10:56:54 AM »

You should not feel bad about asking for vibes if you need them.

Good writing vibes to DR Panni.

For some reason part of the code kept showing up.

Oh well, now you will just have purple vibes instead of multicolor vibes.

Does anyone use yahoo mail? They seem to have changed it. So far I'm not crazy about the new look (i hate change). But we shall see.

Maya · « **Reply #59 on:** June 15, 2004, 11:17:51 AM »

I'm rather excited about "Spamelot!" Then again, I'm pretty excited about the 2004-2005 season in general!

Favorite performances by children in movies:

Jean-Pierre Leaud in "Les Quatre Cent Coups"
Haley Joel Osment in "The Sixth Sense" and "A.I."
Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz"
Evan Rachel Wood in "Thirteen"

Good vibes to Panni!!
