Come to think of it, has anyone seen Wayne Newton and k.d. lang  TOGETHER? Maybe.....or is that POSSIBLE?

<SNIP>

Night. (But look to see if Wayne and k.d. ever show up at the same place.  Then tell me.)

I remember seeing an interview with an impersonator (I forget who, though) and he (I do remember that it was a "he") said that his voice for a young Wayne Newton was the same voice that he used for Brenda Lee!

A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a vintage 1950s button that had a picture of George "Gabby" Hayes!  Put him on my list!

Well, I will be toddling off to the bedroom environment shortly.  I'm going to try and get up at my normal earlier time.

Oh, my. These early morning log ons with so much to read remind of last December when we were in London and I would log on to find 200 or 300 posts which I could never get through in one sitting since I was in the parlor of our London guest house and others were waiting to use the computer.

We survived the Blizzard. Not so bad, IMHO. It didn't stop me from going out as planned for dinner and a movie with friends. We had made the plans before the news of the blizzard and since I'm from Minnesota, another is from Wisconsin and the third lived in Minnesota for a while, we knew it would not be so bad. Anthony did decide to stay home and curl up with a good DVD. We had a delightful dinner, much chat and then we saw In Good Company, the Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace movie about an older man (52 - yikes my age in little more than one week!) who has to deal with being demoted and working for a 26 year old boss who also falls in love with his college age daughter. Not too bad. We then went to a trendy new dessert place on 9th Avenue and 51st called Puff. They sell fancied up retro desserts like banana pudding with vanilla wafers and their version of a Hostess Snowball (remember those treats?). Again, it was fun, but not great. It was more fun being with good friends and laughing and laughing. I then got on the subway which was running well despite the snow and came home to find my hubby asleep. Oh, well.

We then spent Sunday lazing about, drifting back and forth between bed and food and television, not venturing out at all and then Monday morning I had to return to work. Here I am now having caught up with the posts.

Many of my favorites have been mentioned but I will mention some anyway, mixing my sexes to provide some spice.

Louis Calhern, Billie Burke, Selma Diamond, Dean Jagger, Marion Lorne, Frank Morgan, Cathleen Nesbitt, Edna May Oliver, Charlie Ruggles, Clara Blandick who played Auntie Em in the Wizard of Oz and got NO CREDIT! I could go on but I won't since I have a 9am meeting and it's 8:28 and I must get ready for said meeting.

The professors in BALL OF FIRE make up my favorite character-actor-ensemble. I just looked up their astounding movie credits (IMDB) - some made TV appearances as well.

Oscar Homolka (Prof. Gurkakoff, Mathematics): 64 movies, 1926-75
Henry Travers (Prof. Jerome, History), 53 movies, 1933-49
S.Z. Sakall (Szakall) (Prof. Magenbruch), 95 movies, 1927-54
Tully Marshall (Prof. Robinson, Law), 194 movies, 1914-43 (including 16 movies in 1932 alone)
Leonid Kinskey (prof. Quintana), 94 movies, 1932-57
Richard Haydn (Prof. Oddly, Botany) 43 movies, 1938-79
Aubrey Mather (Prof. Peagram, Literature), 72 movies, 1930-54

Good morning, all!  I had a lovely phone call last evenng that kept me up past my usual bedtime, so I'm moving rather slowly this morning.  Last night I received an invitation to the dress rehearsal tomorrow at the Metropolitan Opera for PELLEAS AND MELISANDE.  Fantastic!  My friend Bill Burden who sings the Doctor on the recording of MOST HAPPY FELLA with Emily Loesser is singing Pelleas.  His beautiful wife Carol played Dory in the production of GREENWILLOW I worked on in Utah.  She'll be there as well, so it will be a lovely and festive afternoon.

Gladys Cooper.  Eve Arden (i guess she falls into this category).

Henry Jones.  Hume Cronyn.  Jack Lemmon, who was both a character man, and a star.  So was  Matthau.

As for today's character men who THINK they are stars, two immediately came to mind:  Pesci and DeVito.  Perhaps Kathy Bates, too.

Oy, I could go on and on.  I love character actors and I bemoan the fact that they are so rare these days.  Even in small parts as waitresses, hotel clerks, secretaries, they added a texture to film scenes that is missing today.
