piranesi Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I got to meet her at a "Thrillville" showing of IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD'S FAIR at the Parkway Speakeasy Theater in Oakland back in maybe 2002. She was hilarious. All anyone wanted to ask her about was: 1) Making out with Shatner and 2) Making out with Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 God - Yvonne Craig so helped me figure a lot of things out... I don't know a kid who didn't have a crush on her back in the day. I think she is the source of my current thing that I have for women with short hair. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonial Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Martin Milner has passed away at age 83. Officer Pete Malloy on the original "Adam-12", Tod Stiles on "Route 66" and the first murder victim on "Columbo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Technically the third Columbo victim. There was a movie and a pilot before Jack Cassidy murdered Martin Milner. But that is the episode Spielberg directed and so you get to see both of them through all kinds of cool angles and moving shots. It's kind of crazy how Spielbergy that one episode is.

colonial Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Judy Carne has died at age 76. She was the "Sock It To Me" girl on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In" from 1968-1970, and was married to Burt Reynolds in the mid 60s. She was one of those performers who could have fit the "one hit wonder" or "should have been a star" thread. Carne had a girl next door quality in her earlier, pre Laugh In work -- you could see her headline, say, "That Girl" if Marlo Thomas wasn't available, or even headline a light romantic comedy movie. But she pretty much self destructed in the 70s thanks to drugs and hard living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 For all that I watched Adam 12 when I was very, very young , I confess I never knew Martin Milner's name until MST3K. Still don't know the other guy's name without looking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) That would be Kent McCord, whose other major credit (AFAIK) was Galactica 1980. Which, upon further reflection, may not be considered "major." Edited September 8, 2015 by cool arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Fenster. My late grandmother hated Marty Ingels. She always said he was "funny as a crutch." As for me, I don't think ever saw him do anything other than Tattletales.* *H-B cartoons notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It's one of the best of its era, so I can get why it won... It's a fucking tremendous, emotional, incredibly executed movie in its own right. Saying that, it's not Citizen Kane. Not a fan of when O'Hara played the prototypical hot-headed Irish woman but she was still very talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm gonna probably watch "Only The Lonely" later tonight in honor of her. Maureen O'Hara as John Candy's domineering mother was just brilliant casting. I loved all the stuff she did with John Wayne. They were just perfect together. File this under things you could never get away with today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
