In addition to a few family photos, my big find in my aunt's memorabilia was a pair of Broadway Playbills from the week of September 24, 1951. She saw CALL ME MADAM at the Imperial and THE ROSE TATTOO at the Martin Beck (now Hirschfeld). I also found the telegram that my family sent from Portland, Oregon, on her wedding day (Nov. 8, 1952).
... I recently read that he had a big streak of pedophilia, but this could be malicious gossip spread by his detractors.
It's hard separating Mr Heston's stolid career from his total political assholism. I recently read that he had a big streak of pedophilia, but this could be malicious gossip spread by his detractors.

With all due respect, I really doubt this.
From everything I've read/heard about Heston, he was a totally straight arrow.
I recall a story that, I think, Gore Vidal told about the making of BEN-HUR.
In the first scene between Heston and Stephen Boyd, director William Wyler told Boyd to play the scene as if there had been a "gay" relationship between the two men when they were boys.
Wyler didn't give this direction to Heston because he knew the actor would freak out.
I agree, Elmore, this is malicious gossip.

Pedophilia doesn't always refer to homosexual behavior. The gossip was about little girls.
Speaking of Heston's "rug":Sounds like Burt Reynolds.
Roy Scheider, who was politically as far "left" as Heston was "right," told me a story about the time Heston guested on Scheider's SeaQuest TV series.
Heston, wearing his "rug," appeared in the make-up room with a box/case of his "on-camera" hairpieces.
When the make-up person tried to remove Heston's everyday hairpiece, so that he could apply the on-camera one, Heston said: "What are you talking about? What hairpiece?"
So, the make-up person was forced to put the on-camera rug on top of the everyday one.

Cilla, in response to your question from yesterday, no, I haven't seen the movie "Nuts." Don't know why, either. Should I look for it?
I'll have to see if the library has it.Cilla, in response to your question from yesterday, no, I haven't seen the movie "Nuts." Don't know why, either. Should I look for it?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093660/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093660/) It's the Barbra Streisand - Richard Dreyfus movie where she tries to prove she isn't mentally incompetent while her family wants her declared incompetent. Don't know that you need to see it, but your post about being on a panel to determine competency brought it to mind
Would love to have a cast recording of this. Coleman's music is so underrated to me. Always thought "On the Twentieth Century" had an overture to rival "Gypsy's" and a score to back it up. Any chance of your getting back in the new cast recording biz, BK?

If I may grouse for a moment, I am home with a fever and feeling frustrated and grumpy. I have a tiresome errand that I've been trying to get to, and it is now delayed again.Feel better soon.
WHERE DO ALL THE ERRANDS COME FROM?? They really do seen endless.
Ugh! There now. End of rant.
And we the listeners lose out. This sounds as good as "A Grand Night for Singing" or "Hey, Love." Oh well.Would love to have a cast recording of this. Coleman's music is so underrated to me.

I'm ready, willing, and able - unfortunately, the producers now pay for these things, and they just hand them to either PS Classics or Ghostlight because that's who they're comfortable with. Many moons ago I came up with that business model for the producers of Amour. I did a budget that was, I don't know, 50k less than Ghostlight, but they simply gave my budget to Ghostlight because one of the Shubert people knew the owner and I still hadn't quite started Kritzerland yet. By the time I did, it was too late - they basically just do it with those guys now. I don't happen to think it results in many good-sounding recordings, but that's just me.

Yes, BK (referencing your final post of last night)...that would be MOST EXCITING. One of my all-time favorte EB scores, to boot...and in need of a first-rate presentation!

Good afternoon. I've really had Save the Park on my mind lately. It started with the mention of an oral history project through our local museum. After STP I interviewed everyone and anyone and recorded it all. I have the tapes somewhere. Anyway, today, the person coordinating and trying to resurrect our oral history project at the SC public museum had me stop over and explained the process etc that they do to interview. I'm looking forward to it. The really don't want any response from the interviewer to the information being provided..."be a rock" she said....I don't think I'm capeable of "being a rock" when I'm trying to get someone to tell me their story. So...we'll see how it goes
Tonight is the musical episode of Grey's Anatomy. Sara Ramirez' character, Callie, is the main focus of the episode. It's definitely not going to be comedic. I'm very curious to watch

I suppose most people today have a wireless network. I probably have it too, but I have no idea how to figure that out.
Have you ever clicked on the wrong group when sending an email and sent an email to the wrong group? I have.
No, TCB, you don't need a separate fax only line. As long as your fax is connected to the phone line you can send a fax.
So it is written, so it shall be done. Remember that.
It is VERY hot here.

The owner's manual should (I would hope) specify what kind of cable you need. And you can also just look at your printer and computer inputs and see what they look like.

Oh, you think you are so smart!
Is that a double negative?No. It would have been had you written "never not".
My ears were burning, and now I have charred ears. Went back to Glendale, got the motor car and am home. I swear to you, I was not five minutes out of the dealership when some stupid, sickening idiot just starts mildly swerving into my lane. Now, the side of his car is bashed in - gee, I wonder why. I look over at him and he's blithely looking everywhere but the road. I look back in front of me and the idiot in a VW Bug has stopped - stopped - for no reason - stopped. I had to slam on my brakes and I missed plowing into the back of his car by approximately one inch. Perhaps he was in cahoots with the other idiot - maybe that's their con. But alas, I fear they are simply idiots who should not be allowed behind the wheel of a car - giving them credit to be smart enough to devise such a con is, of course, ridiculous. They're simply idiots and other drivers sometimes have to pay the price for their idiocy. Thankful my brakes are excellent. And you can't even yell at them because they are so totally not in the real world, but in some world of their own imagining, so they're not even aware of the havoc they almost cause.
I'm not a Grey's regular, but I watched tonight's episode and liked it. Then I watched PRIVATE PRACTICE and the story line about the dying mother and her 2 sons and their bad relationship hit a little too close to home - well, at least too close to the situation in my extended family...

SNOW?
