WTF.  This makes me feel so damned old.  The icons are just ditching this world so fast. 

There was never a better "cat on a hot tin roof."  Ever.

Ok, I know what we do... Now that we're through with 'Surf the Tsunami', we're through with that for this round anyway... and we don't want to play "End of the World As We Know It" yet, not yet, so I know what we do... how about a little round of 'Mourn the Hollywood Icon'?

*shrug*  I grew up watching her and Richard Burton duke it out.  Her tirades were an inspiration.  She was everything delicious, back in the day.

And now she's gone.

Forgive me my little bit of page 6-ness.  She really was iconic, historically.  Her passing is like the death knell of so much of Old America.  *shrug, again*

I guess you neither of you have seen Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Nevermind.

A long, long time ago.  I think I was 10.  I should watch it again, though.

National Velvet and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof I'm more familiar with...and Cleopatra, more's the pity.  Oh and the original Father of the Bride and Father's Little Dividend, with Spencer Tracy.

I also need to see Butterfield 8.

It was the Saturday Family Film Festival--remember the guy, Tom Patton, I think his name was, he used to introduce the Popeye cartoons?  Then after that there was Family Film Festival--where you could catch John Wayne, Katherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor.

This was before TNT, TCM, etc.

I'm surprised they could tell.  Still, Michael Jackson will be pleased to be reunited with one of his favourite Beards.
