Will post more later -- I know, it's a bummer!!

but I just read Mr Valley's post and .... whoever thinks BB, as in Brent Barrett, and NOT Brigitte Bardot, is a tenor is wrong; we all know BB is a baritone...

That person should also listen to Mr Warlow to widen his appreciation.....

Like Cinderella, I'm having a ball reading all about your collecting "manias"!

I LOVE collecting and collectors because it's all about PASSION!
Can't remember in which recent film ( Down With Love? Bridget Jones?) a female character says something like : "I stay away from men who collect!"

How WRONG can she be!

Now I am visually challenged. I don't even want to imagine a combination of Wells & Cass. That sound like a confectionery company in England. "Wells & Cass" purveyors of fine confection. I hope they you receive at least a Dance 10 on your score card. With all that talent (Wells & Cass) supporting your everything, you will indeed dazzle.

TCB, you absolutely crack me up.
I know you've already told me this in another post, but could you tell me again which theatre you're doing Oliver at? I know it's close by...Gig Harbor maybe?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #63 on:** November 15, 2003, 01:38:47 PM »

I do hope that DRs Ann and Jed do go and see "Oliver". I want to know ALL. And a playbill (autographed by Fagin).

I will post my collectibles later. Off to the nursing home with Echo.

I almost forgot, I used to be pretty big into collecting autographs of vintage, and some current, movie and tv actors. Usually they were of actors and actresses from B-films of the 50s and I managed to get some pretty good ones. I probably have about 200 in my collection. Most were through the mail and some were in person when I would attend the Ray Court's shows in North Hollywood....Lillian Gish, Russell Johnson, Tina Louise, Donna Douglas, John Agar, Rex Reason, Gregg Palmer, Brian Keith, Penny Singleton, Art Clokey, James Shigeta, Peter Lupus, and Shirley Temple are some of those I can think of off the top of my head that might be familiar to you DRs. And of course I have autographs of all those that I have interviewed and even of our own Bruce Kimmel! I still get autographs now and then but not like I did throughout the 1990s when I would send out tons of requests each month (with return envelope and postage of course!). It was fun. Many of the celebs would send the nicest letters as well! I recall that Penny Singleton sent me a nice hand written 4 page letter! And I got Brian Keith's just 2 months before he died!

Ozzie Tom!

Oilver?

Is that a new version of Wildcat?

The problem with collectibles is where to keep them. I prefer not to store them in boxes, yet that is where our newspaper collection is. A few of our favorites, the sinking of the Titanic, Prince Edwards abdication and November 11, 1918 PEACE, have been framed and hang on the walls along with the four papers from our birthdays.

During many of our multiple moves some things have been discarded (movie and play programs) lost or stolen (post card collection, comics, baseball cards and my large collection of cookie cutters). I still have my rock collection but it is my memory that is now lost and I can’t recall where the rocks were collected.

I have a small collection of antique cups and saucers. I still have my favorite dolls from my childhood, including my favorite Ginny Alexander doll that needs to be restored. For my 50th birthday Keith gave me a beautiful doll I had been coveting, bringing the grand total to 17 dolls. After which he wisely stated “that is your last doll”. We have a number of original movie posters including The Magnificent Seven and an X Men poster signed by the cast.

A number of years ago we went to the collectable store to Holiday shop for our boys. They didn’t get anything, however, we returned home with a beautifully framed set of trading cards signed by the stars of Star Trek.

I have my mother’s autograph book from 1939 when she traveled to America by ship, and then stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Included among the autographs she collected are Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, Andy Devine, and Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan.

Keith also has a rare book collection.

BK,

Not too many posts yet but they are quite "meatty" (one T, two ? Can recall! sorry!) don't you think?

Jason · « **Reply #69 on:** November 15, 2003, 01:53:17 PM »

I'm afraid I have bad news...our very own Ms. Dorothy Loudon has passed away. Here's a link to the AP story...

Tomovoz · « **Reply #70 on:** November 15, 2003, 01:57:10 PM »

Thanks François. I guess I was confused with that line form MFL "he oiled his way across the floor". Don't you love the modify option?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #71 on:** November 15, 2003, 01:58:54 PM »

Sad news indeed Jason. I only ever saw Ms Louden on TV etc but she could so easily make me smile and laugh.

François · « **Reply #72 on:** November 15, 2003, 01:59:27 PM »

That line shows off Alan J. Lerner's genius, imho!

Like all the lyrics in "What Did I Have That I Don't Have!"...

Jrand73 · « **Reply #73 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:02:28 PM »

Art Carney, Dorothy Louden, Penny Singleton.

DR TCB - Allison who?

And you didn't let me know if you wanted Incendiary Blonde on your tape after Betty's interview.

DR RON - what did you think of you know who in you know what? And did you remember any of the cars?

François · « **Reply #74 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:08:27 PM »

Hey, Dorothy!

Who Gave You Permission?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #75 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:13:58 PM »

Great line François. Great performer and great OBC.

RE: Adoptions
My parents adopted this little guy. I guess this would have to around 1950. He was brought to the family home on Christmas Day 1945. His life has been a good one.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #78 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:21:38 PM »

For a moment there I thought it was all my fault! I am not usually guilt prone. I don't even like gilt.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #79 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:22:31 PM »

No I tried to make the picture smaller but it wouldn't work. Grrrrrrr

Jrand73 · « **Reply #80 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:23:39 PM »

Is this smaller? There we go - no more cinemascope. Anyway...as I was saying....here are two of the things I also collect.

A 1959 Marx split level dollhouse and 1:18 model of a 1956 Chrysler 300!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #81 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:23:46 PM »

Thanks for that post. Without it my post would have made even less sense than usual! At least some of us got to see the photo - briefly.

François · « **Reply #82 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:24:56 PM »

Baby Face!
You've Got The Cuttiest Little Baby Face!

You Haven't Changed At All!

What a smile!

DR Andrea here is a link to the Wordsworth poem. It is called 'Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.' The quotation is in the next to last stanza.

Oh... you're good:D

Jrand73 · « **Reply #84 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:30:50 PM »

Great photo, TomfromOz. And your fashion sense is great as well! Fifteen years later all of the little boys in Japanese Godzilla films copied your look!

Here is a photo that will be familiar to DR Jason, the Bucks County Playhouse.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #85 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:33:18 PM »

Now that's too small!

No DR Andrea, not me....the internet!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #86 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:34:25 PM »

Thanks Jack. Now to try and find that picture. Was it a production of "The invisible Man" or perhaps a photo of Elvira in "Blythe Spirit".

Tomovoz · « **Reply #87 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:36:55 PM »

I should wait for a few minutes before I respond to posts. As punishment I shall remove myself from the board for about 5 hours. As is appropriate on this day, I am going to a Collector's Fair - to socialise and not collect. (or so I am telling myself).

Andrea · « **Reply #88 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:38:35 PM »

Emily dear: post:)

François · « **Reply #89 on:** November 15, 2003, 02:46:51 PM »

Oh!

The Bucks County Playhouse, hey?!

That's where one can send mail that will never be forwarded to the addresse! I see!

Thank Heaven it was not money!
