Here's something to try: it's called Guess the Dictator or Sit-Com Character.

You can follow the instructions, or try something different.

The something different is to answer all the questions as if they are asking about you, yourself.

I found out that I am actually Jody, from Soap.

And I am Greg Brady from "The Brady Bunch"!

When we found a permanant home for Zeus, der Brucer was very clear when he said that six dogs were simply too many for us to take care of, that it was possible for us to give five the right amount of attention but six was over the limit.

So, of course, he's been contacted by the animal rescue people again; they want him (meaning us) to help foster dogs until they can find them homes again.

This came up last night. Since some of the animal rescue people specialize in Dalmatians, I offhandedly replied that I wouldn't mind having another Dal in the house.

Der Brucer has actively been searching for another Dal on the Internet.

Heck, it'll be just one more mouth to feed, I guess. $:-\$

Nothing planned for the media this weekend. Will play it by ear.

BK did you get Leslie Parrish Bach's address from that website?

Actually, Rodzinski, I enjoy the movie posters, books, and memorabilia more than I do the stars. But I'm looking forward to seeing Monty Python icon, Carol Cleveland, and an old acting acquaintance of mine, Ian Abercrombie...who I worked with in my swan song as an actor. It was in Crucifer of Blood at the Ahmanson Theatre out here with Charlton Heston playing Sherlock Holmes and Jeremy Brett playing Dr. Watson (and he was just as brilliant a Watson as he was a Holmes). Ian played Inspector Lestrade. I had a small role as a sailor who saw the giant rat of Sumatra and fainted in Holmes' study. I also understudied several roles, including Ian's Lestrade. The last time I saw Ian was years ago in Sam French's bookshop out here.

I decided to plant flowers, as they had been sitting out in my back yard un-planted for over a week. I must now eat and then go see BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE.

Back from the Courts show and lunch. I cancelled the dinner tonight, because of the pouring rain. She'd never get here on time and we'd be late and this restaurant gives away the table fifteen minutes after the reservation time. We'll do it next week.

The Courts show was the least interesting I've been to, celebrity-wise. Many of the same folks from the last time I did the show, i.e. Tiffany, Eddie Deezan, Clint Howard, etc. The big draw and the only one with any kind of line was Jane Russell. Doing the show on a Friday is the equivalent of doing it on Sunday, only with even less attendance. When we arrived at twelve-thirty it was pretty empty. It had a medium sized crowd when we left at two-thirty. Many celebs were no shows (at least twenty to thiry empty tables with name plaques.

Proper lyrics for the song from the show that played on Broadway... as well are:

La plume de ma tante est sur le bureau de mon oncle!

Here's who I remember: The Sound of Music kids - Heather Menzies, Kym Karath and three others - but no Charmian Carr. William Smith, star of many B movies. Robert Culp, looking shockingly old. Richard Herd, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes. I know there were others, but that was the caliber for the most part. The two most exciting things for me were meeting Miss Gale Storm (I bought her 1981 autobiography, which she inscribed beautifully), and best of all I finally, after all these years, met Miss Hayley Mills. She had no one at her table at all (that's how poor attendance was), so I just got up my nerve and walked up to her. I introduced myself and told her how hard I'd tried to get her on the Sherman Bros. album. She remembered immediately (I'd sent a bunch of CDs for her to hear, but she didn't get them in time and they were forwarded on to her after she'd finished doing the show she was doing). She called me from the East Coast and left a message, saying she was delighted to get the CDs and wanted to talk about doing the CD. I called her right back, got a machine, and left a message. We never did connect.

In any case, she was delightful - warm, cute as a button, and sweet as they come. We talked about Dick Sherman a bit, and I told her that I was sorry we couldn't have her on the CD. Tomorrow, if I can get to her, I may just give her a copy of Kritzer Time, so she can read all about herself.

Sad news...one of my all time favorite actors has passed away. Brian Kelly, star of TV's Flipper...and someone I have tried like the dickens to interview

Here is a far-away photo of Miss Hayley Mills.

BK, was Diane McBain there?? She is sooooo pretty!

William F. Orr · « **Reply #167 on:** February 18, 2005, 04:39:09 PM »

Guess the Dictator and/or TV Sitcom Character is soooooo amazing. It is just too too. I was George W. Bush, and it guessed right. I was Ethel Murtz, and it guessed right. Who needs people when Internet Aps can do all this?

bk · « **Reply #168 on:** February 18, 2005, 04:39:36 PM »

Didn't see Miss McBain's name anywhere. However, Marilyn Chambers was there. Carol Lynley (looking just awful) was there. I didn't see my pal Linda Purl, so maybe she'll be there tomorrow. Robert Clary was there. Ruth Buzzi was there. I mean, when Ray told me that there was just no room at the Feb show because celebs were lined up trying to get in, I expected more than this. Catherine Bach was a no-show while we were there.

Just as I snapped this photo, Miss Gale Storm turned away. The tiny brunette is her.

William F. Orr · « **Reply #170 on:** February 18, 2005, 04:48:07 PM »

... and of course, BK, you are right. Bureau. Not table. My friend Duane was in that show, in the bell-ringing scene.

Anyone remember the Ozzie and Harriette episode where Ozzie takes a French course? He has a terrible time remembering anything and finally comes away with one phrase, "La plume est sur le table." "Great," he says. "When am I ever going to use that?"

Of course, at the end of the show he is looking for his pen, and it is Harriette who says, "La plume est sur le table."

Could anyone make a low-key sitcom like that today?

TCB · « **Reply #171 on:** February 18, 2005, 04:59:32 PM »

How very sad to read about Brian Kelly. Growing up without a father in the home, Mr. Kelly and Chuck Conners were my two imaginary fathers -- no, not as a couple!

I remember when he was so seriously injured in that accident while he was filming THE LOVE MACHINE. Jacqueling Susann said at the time, that had Brian Kelly finished that film he would have become a superstar. Having seen the film with John Phillip Law, I find that difficult to believe, but if anyone could have done something with that crap, it was Brian Kelly.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #172 on:** February 18, 2005, 05:04:34 PM »

BK, if there is no line, are you able to go up and talk for an unlimited amount of time with the people? Shoot the breeze, do a little interview, whatnot? Or is there a handler there who shoos folks away after a minute?

TCB · « **Reply #173 on:** February 18, 2005, 05:08:27 PM »

Hayley Mills, Gale Storm, AND Bruce Kimmel! Now, that would be worth a trip to Los Angeles.

Uh, I knew that. I was making another joke. I even included smilies this time.

*sigh*

Your humor was not lost on me Dear S Woody.
Just want to clarify, since I don't generally use smilies myself, that my tone was not meant to be corrective or even informative. I really just found the bunny comment amusing, and the fact that he stabs a teddy bear a mildly ironic counterpoint. Tone is hard to portray sometimes though!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #175 on:** February 18, 2005, 05:11:04 PM »

Purl better be there this time tomorrow! And that's a TOM SAWYER the MUSICAL reference.

bk · « **Reply #176 on:** February 18, 2005, 05:29:08 PM »

If there are no lines, I think they enjoy meeting folks and chatting. That's been my experience. If there IS a line, they like to move it along so people aren't waiting too long.

I also had a couple of security people come up to me, who remembered me from the last show I did. Also, Eddie Deezen always remembers me, and a few others came up and said hey, including Eric Boardman, who is someone I hadn't met, but is friends with my pal Richard Jones. I had a good time, but it was a disappointment. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I got a nice package today - another Patrice Leconte DVD, this one entitled Felix et Lola.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #178 on:** February 18, 2005, 05:41:17 PM »

I think the person on the list I would most like to meet is Sybil Jason, the Warner Bros. answer to Shirley Temple, because I saw her a few months back in LITTLE BIG SHOT and she was a pretty amazing talent.

bk · « **Reply #179 on:** February 18, 2005, 06:04:49 PM »

Well, I guess I won't be watching Felix et Lola. I ordered it from a Japanese company (the DVD was made in Japan) and the listing page clearly said English Subtitles. Oops. There aren't any.
