Interestingly I Googled "who made one million dollars a film in the 1960s" - the only items that came up were the ones reporting that Taylor had made that for Cleopatra, but apparently that was what she made for the year, not that particular film. But one site came up where they had a list of popular stars and what they'd made. This list had no attributions and was titled of all things Teachers Salaries. On that ONE list it has Julie Andrews making 1.1 million for Darling Lili - again, no sources, but I'm sure that's where Mr. Idiot got this information and made assumptions based on it. However, in the same decade this site reports that Sean Connery made 1.1 million dollars for the first Bond movie. Amazing, aint' it, considering the entire budget for the film was 1.1 million dollars? And this is what the Internet has brought us and why there's so much misinformation flying around.

BK---I see a couple of sources that say she got $750,000 for Dolly.

It is much easier to clean this place than our Ashland home, and it seems to collect less dust.

I got back from Oxford around 2:30 and Randy and I watched Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. Jo has been through her interview and various tests and I think she has a new job.

Vibes she got it!

Sort of. I woke up with an allergy attack in the middle of the night and I think it's all playing a part.

Starting with a modern western tonight. Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda and Chill Wills in The Rounders. Kathleen Freeman is in the supporting cast.

Any Richard Russo fans here? I'm into the last story in his latest collection, Trajectory, and I'm really enjoying it.

I bought flood insurance today.

I have a chef friend in Victoria, Texas, who has a food truck with a sit-down cafe. James has been in overdrive since the flooding began and fellow chefs have turned out to help him. They've feed more than 6,000 people so far, and it's a pay what you can type operation. In other words, if you haven't got any money or you're homeless because of Harvey, that's OK. More chefs are rolling over to help on the long weekend ahead.

I'd love to go help out but with this pinched nerve I can't stand for a long time or walk a great deal.

No. It's government run and the prices are stable if the area hasn't flooded recently. I think it's been 20 years since that's happened. Also, it takes 30 days to go into effect.

And that's just one group. Know a lot of others who are helping out in the Rockport area and still more trying to get into Houston.

Well, I need to be going to the theater. Tonight is the final dress rehearsal before Silent Sky opens tomorrow. Why they open on a Thursday, I'll never know...and they start at 7:25! What's that about??

No flooding vibes for you at all, but at least not for 30 days!

The wonderful people we see on the news probably doesn't come close to the numbers actually out there.

I don't even believe the 750K figure - John Wayne, the top box-office draw then made 650,000 for his films. And even that sounds too high, frankly.
