This story has always fascinated me

Lover of many, wife of Ike, let's just say that it all really did turn to shit for Inger Stevens on this day in 1970.Get a little taste of "The Farmer's Daughter"

It Has Officially All Turned To Shit, Today, Right Now

She's dead. Shit. We really liked her alot.

The thing I hate about actors

In the first place, I didn't really offer Dick Widmark a place in history in the forecourt of our Villa. B) He made Pigtails run across Crescent Heights at rush hour to Schwab's 3) He charged 30 boxes of Bic pens to our account and ground them up into his cement- this is never going to dry

It all ended for him, Twenty-three years ago today

I'm talking about Otto Preminger. Listen to him blather-



Articulate film critic Rex Reed observed while obliterating another director's work:

The blame for the intense doldrums in The Secret Lives of Dentists lies with the tepid, stagnant direction by Alan Rudolph, a hack who, like the late, unlamented Otto Preminger, mysteriously continues, in film after film, to attract big stars, wear them down until they do their worst work, and drag out a career of mediocrity far beyond the law of diminishing returns. The secrets of the dentists in The Secret Lives of Dentists are safe with me.

Ouch.
This is considered some of Otto's best work, would have LOVED to seen him boss around the Chairman.

Lord, WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL?

That you would deprive us of this?:You are a liar if you can't laugh at some of this. He was a very specific kind of genius.

Well, you don't have to be.....

How much do you know about him? It's not talked about but part of his deal with Princeton is that they keep the Villa closest to Crescent Heights permanently in his name.

Finally I get a little concrete

Ray has insisted upon using all of Mother's Egyptian #5 to make his patch of the forecourt a little more distinct. The "honour" that Ray alludes to was me making him fish Mr Benchley out of the east koi pond.

Now that you're done with taxes

Appreciate the fact that Henry Mancini was born this date 85 years ago

Also we were graced with the birth of Edie Adams 82 years ago- she died this past October.As you probably know, this clip was the very last time Lucy and Desi performed together (as they were divorcing) so the irony here is enormous. Watch Viv.

Mr Drysdale always dies before Tax Day

We all know Raymond Bailey as Milburn Drysdale, but here is some of his earlier work, a sampler from "Tales of Tomorrow" with some guy called Paul Newman

We rose before He did

Mr Benchley has failed to drive Mother to the Bowl,therefore I am stuck here at 520am
with Cobina, Pigtails, Jinx Falkenburg, and Jane from Schwabs

>
just watch the light change around the Bowl
Opening number, it's about 54 degrees out and the woman onstage is beating the Lord's Prayer to death.

See you at brunch.

Mother wanted me to scope the Bowl out for her

You know that she is planning on attending the sunrise service tomorrow with Mrs. Nazimova and several others from the Garden.and if you were feeling emotional and needed just one more thing to push you over the edge tonight--

Visit some friends on Good Friday

Everyone at Hollywood Forever has been asking about you. This slideshow contains about seventy new photos. Enjoy in a somber kind of way.

Claroscureaux is at it again

Look who he's celebrating today!

I hate it when he gets all liquored up

All he does is shout at Mother or Dixie or those poor twins. Also, he insisted upon using molten lava. Mean guy.

Oh, sure, he wants you to think he's dead

Golly, so much written about my boss, Howard Hughes. I can't believe you really think he's dead.
Let's see if he shows up at the staff meeting tomorrow. I'm used to the Kleenex boxes as slippers.

"Oscar's" Big Night?

Here, read about this douchebag. There have been so many different, well-written accounts of what happened to the man (so well-endowed his thing was nicknamed "Oscar"), but as always I turn to the most credible of all, what else but from "Crowning Glory" by Sydney Unohooaroff:Seriously, Crowning Glory is hours of entertainment. Sydney claims to have been at the center of many many events, check it out for yourself.

Sassy, dead Nineteen years

She was incomparable, indeed yes I put them in that order for a reason.
Incomparable. Although I do believe in later years Sassy was also known as Boozy.

Perhaps it was the UHF that did her in fifteen years ago today

You know I'm talking about Betty Furness, right?Mother is sitting rapt with attention to the screen and has just asked Captain Brown to pour them both another drink.

This is the moment I have feared the most

I know you may be bored with this

But I have finally gotten that old woman to put prices on all the beaded jewelry, here is a fast slideshow of what we've got:
