Quote from: Freddie on August 11, 2025, 08:27:18 AMI know I saw one of the child-role understudies for Laura Bell Bundy on RUTHLESS off-Broadway, but I can't figure out whether the understudy I saw was Britney Spears or Natalie Portman. So I know I saw one of them being really good in the child role but (at least for now) I am fully aware that I have no idea which one. I'm thinking one day when I'm even older than now, my elderly mind will choose one of them and in senior telling of what shows I'd seen, I'll say I saw her go on as an understudy, long before she was super-famous.I saw a production of Children of Eden back in the late '90s in Issaquah, Washington, and it wasn't until years later that I found my program and saw that Cheyenne Jackson was in that production!

Forgot to mention that we watched The Life of Chuck last night. Interesting film.
I got a new one today, too - I'll try sharing that particular one on some Disney groups since it's pretty Disney-centric. I don't know the reviewer personally outside of Facebook.

Must get ready for interview.
So I see on the innerwebs that the Supreme Court has been asked to overturn the gay marriage issue.
But my favorite was on, of course Facebook. It was in a group called You Must Have Been Born In Mooresville If.....Someone was talking about when Michael (Little Joe) Landon visited Mooresville....one guy jumped in and said "Yes, he was here with Barbara Eden and my father drove them around town in his convertible."Well I knew that Michael Landon had been in town in January and Barbara Eden had been in town a couple of years later during the summer. I mentioned that.....

To his credit he did say....."Oh, I guess you're right....and I should stop telling that story...."LOL.
That was a waste of my time. No. Not interested in a 10-hour a day sales position.
Quote from: Jrand74 on August 11, 2025, 07:10:39 AMOh no, he insisted I was wrong and that he was in the car with them both.....and I should just shut up.Well it was very easy to find local news reports on newspapers.com that showed photos and dates of the two separate visits.So i posted those I said....here ya go!In a similar vein, I think - We were at a small dinner party where the hostess and Anita Gillette were drying dishes after the dinner and Skip was at the piano playing show tunes, while the hostess and Anita Gillette were singing while they were drying the dishes. My mom loved telling this story to people at the game room at the Miami senior activity place but somehow one time I heard her tell it, the story had evolved to the dinner party being at Skip and my place. I mentioned this to Mom, and Mom wondered why it made a difference to anyone playing Bingo or cards in Florida at WHOSE apartment it had happened - and I guess she was right. To Mom, it just felt like one of those stories, that her son's husband was playing piano while "Anita Gillette from all the Broadway shows" she'd seen in Broadway's golden age was singing show tunes while drying dishes, sounding as good as she did decades earlier, and just being regular folk.

DR George, it is a good thing the picnic wasn't today. At least here it is already hotter than it was yesterday.
Nice photos George, but 103°F! It didn't get that hot here. Once you began driving did the temp cool down a bit?

I see Maltby and Shire have a new revue, About Time. I want BK to record it.
