Well, the tuna sandwich was yummilicious. I'm relaxing and then shall write a bit more. I got interrupted earlier by a phone call from the producer of Horror of Party Beach.

Of course, this devolved into talking without tongues. Given the chance, grandkids are lots of fun.

SWW - LOL at this delightful grandlad story! Thank you for sharing it.

Did you know that underpants are an excellent fabric to use when straining the lumps out of chocolate pudding?

Or is that going to cause another problematic visual?

On the same S. Woody White note: I must tell you I am exceptionally GLAD that I was not one of the people who ate the first pudding strained through underpants.

Can you imagine? I'd like to think they were clean, but dollars'll get you donuts they were used.

Re: Hurd Hatfield. Don't ask me why I remember this, but years ago when I was living in a shared housing environment, we were watching the communal television when one of the wackier women who lived there (we were co-ed, wink, wink, nudge, nudge) walked in, looked at the t.v. and exclaimed, "Oooh! It's Hurd Hatfield." I had never heard (or Hurd) of Hatfield outside of Dorian, so it just struck me as funny that a 20-something (this was years ago, LOL), hippie-ish woman would get excited about seeing someone who wasn't exactly an A-lister. Maybe you had to be there.

Dollars'll get you donuts?

No No No!!!

Underpants have nothing to do with the donuts, only with the chocolate glaze.

And we're talkin' cake donuts!

JMK...She's sounds like a woman who needed further investigation.

By the by, you did get my late-night correction that I think it was Judy Geeson, not Susan George, living with Kris Tabori...It was one or the other. But I seem to remember the Geeson mouth.

Ann · « **Reply #224 on:** January 27, 2005, 03:24:08 PM »

I'm in a bit of shock right now.
I called my other employer to tell him I needed to take this Saturday off. He greeted me regretfully with the news that the program has now been cut. He didn't want to, but he had to tell me that I was laid off. I'm now without both jobs. Okay then.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #225 on:** January 27, 2005, 03:27:18 PM »

Definitely Judy Geeson. Checked IMDB. They were married for five years. '84-'89, the exact time they were living up the hill behind me. He's Don Siegel's son...why does he have Tabori's name?

S. Woody White · « **Reply #226 on:** January 27, 2005, 03:29:22 PM »

Ann, I'm so sorry to hear that.

You're due for a good bouncing back up. Hope that happens soon!

Viveca Lindfors was married to Gregory Taborri from 1953-1970. Kristoffer, offspring from her marriage to Don Siegel, was born in 1952.

I've not found anything that explains the "why" Kristoffer took his stepfather's surname, but it's clear he and his father, Don Siegel, got along as Siegel cast his son in several films.

Possibly, he thought the name sounded better as a "professional" name...or he may have done it as a tribute to the man who helped his mother raise him.

DRAnn, the universe is telling you something about being in the wrong place.

How are you feeling today?

DR Ann.. A new door will open soon or at least a window. The best of thoughts to you.

DRPogue, Viveca Lindfors married playwright George Tabori. One of my co-workers at Drama Book Shop went to Boston University with Kristofer.

Yes, Ann should move to Los Angeles, where she will have no problem getting a job immediately.

All right, I'm going to get in my motor car and go find Bunny Lake is Missing on DVD. Tower has it, but it's full price, which is ridiculous. Amoeba has it, but it will be full price there, too. But they may have a promo copy for less, so I guess that's where I'll try.

For those that don't know, "I Don't Talk To Strangers" is a Tim Rice/ALW song predating Phantom.

Well, DR Tomovoz ... if I didn't talk to strangers, we would have never met ... (and they don't come any stranger than you ... lol

)

ozderek · « **Reply #234 on:** January 27, 2005, 03:59:26 PM »

and who would have thought THAT ALW song from POTO would be nominated? .... it really is as though he had a spare song lying around and decided to put it in the movie!!!

"oh, the injustice of it all"

oh btw ... for anybody who is interested ....

DIRTY DANCING: THE MUSICAL is breaking box office records in Sydney. Playing to standing room only some nights.

Looking forward to seeing it when it arrives here in Melbourne (mid year).

I didn't know Dirty Dancing had been turned into a musical, that's very cool. I've always liked Dirty Dancing, and I think it'd make a good musical.

What do I know? I think "I Don't Talk To Strangers" (Placido Domingo) is the same as "All I Ask of You".

Quote from: elmore3003 on January 27, 2005, 02:05:44 PM

DRTomovoz, you know plenty, kiddo! Perhaps the writer of "I Don't Talk to Strangers" and Sir Andrew are both stealing from Puccini?

Quote from: Tomovoz on January 27, 2005, 02:32:54 PM

I don't know how many know this story. I can't remember if I've told it here before. If I have...here it is again. "I Don't Talk to Strangers" was from a version of Aspects of Love that was supposed to have lyrics by Tim Rice, but their writing partnership fell through. Trevor Nunn was brought in to write new lyrics but the project totally fell through. Most (if not all) of the music for that version went into ALW's The Phantom of the Opera. Sometime in the early to not quite mid-1980s, Sarah sang and then-hubby Andrew played a song on the Merv Griffin show that turned out to be from that version of Aspects of Love (I was going to just use the initials, but that would've been AOL and I didn't want to confuse anyone!

). Anyway, I taped that song from the TV by holding a little tape recorder up to the TV speaker and that song, then called "Married Man," eventually became "Music of the Night." Here is the first verse:

Dreams of summer
Secret smiles between us
Our first meeting
You'd thought they had seen us
We both tried explaining
Then it started raining
Then you said "I love you, girl, but then
"I'm much too old to fall in love again."

DR Pogue: Yes, I saw your updates. And the Hurd Hatfield girl was kind of scary--or else I would have investigated further, LOL.

DS Betsy is being wooed by a Portland radio station (again--it happens like clockwork). I think she and I need to co-host a talk show where we can dismantle Republicans, though only in the nicest way. There's an Oregon state rep (Republican, of course) who's just been the subject of a major investigation because none of the people he claims to have paid during his last campaign actually got anything. Of course the R's had put him on the Finance Committee in Salem. Yes, this is the party of "fiscal conservatism", of "not spending the people's money." Please. Give me a mic and a follow spot and I'm off, baby! Oh, wait, this is about my wife. Never mind.
