Guess I'm a Smiley Whore too. Love these new guys!

Great promo, DStoDA. You really have a talent for them. 

You've captured the essence of one of my favorite time periods.

.Bennett was 59 at the time and John Karlen was 33.  It was fiction I know--but sheesh that's quite a spread and it is apparent---But actors always play with dates, ages, etc.  For instance, Barbara Bel Gedes who played Miss Eliie on Dallas is only 7 years older than Larry Hagman! 

Yes, and how about 1795?  Jonathan and Louis were about the same age, yet Louis was playing Frid's father

Happy Birthday!

Hope it was a great one.

Maybe I'm having one of my much more frequent "senior" moments, but I do not recall hearing about this before.

I am a member of the DS DVD club and just received an e-mail from them, offering discounts on MPI products if I continue my membership. One of the items mentioned is a "making of Return to Collinwood DVD." I get the impression that this is not yet available, but will be coming out in the future.

Something to watch for.

I never was introduced to Dean, but I did have the pleasure of looking over his extensive collection of DS pics a couple of Fests ago, and it was indeed an impresive memorabilia collection. How I wish that I had heard his Magda voice.

My condolences to his family and friends.

.And, oh my the MetroLink Red Line can take us all kinds of places without dealing with the car along Hollywood Blvd.  Such fun we can have!

Small correction, here, victoriawinters, so as not to confuse people. It is the Metrorail Red Line.   Metrolink is a commuter train system that goes to and from Union Station from surrounding communities, but does not go to Hollywood.


Metrorail has light rail trains to Pasadena, Long Beach and Redondo Beach, and they connect with the Red line, which is a subway, and as VW says, make Hollywood a good location for mass transit. As someone who rides both the Metrorail Gold Line (from Pasadena) and the Red Line everyday, I can attest to the great convience of the system. I will be available to assist Fest goers with their mass transit needs for a small fee.

It's fun hanging out at Chez Bette's.  But who is bringing sedatives for Oscar the kitty? 

I'll bring whatever gets me into Chez Bette and allows me to have my (wicked) ways. . .  

Crazy cat Oscar would indeed need a sedative. And J99, do you really want to see me brush my teeth?   

Sorry, moderators. Couldn't resist a private joke. Now, back to the topic. . . .

Happened to be near the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel yesterday. Now I hope we don't stay there. It is very sterile and uninviting-looking. And, save for one expensive restaurant, it appears that one would have to eat meals at the Hollywood and Highland shopping center, which is at least attached to the hotel, but a very crowded place. Oh well, we'll see.

Midnite, if they do pick that hotel I think we need to make a date to further check out the place. Even the parking looked complicated .
