Horrible. As much as I love Pixies I still think they did her wrong.

Just came in to post this. One of my favorites. Terrible. RIP.Eephus said:
Diahann Carroll, the captivating singer and actress who came from the Bronx to win a Tony Award, receive an Oscar nomination and make television history with her turns on Julia and Dynasty, died Friday. She was 84.
Carroll died at her home in Los Angeles after a long bout with cancer, her daughter, producer-journalist Suzanne Kay, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Carroll was known as a Las Vegas and nightclub performer and for her performances on Broadway and in the Hollywood musicals Carmen Jones and Porgy & Bess when she was approached by an NBC executive to star as Julia Baker, a widowed nurse raising a young son, on the comedy Julia.
She, Joan Collins and Linda Evans were some MILFy trio back in the days of Dynasty.
I can't see Linda Evans and not think about her playing a hooker in Mitchell (an all-time MST3k classic).She, Joan Collins and Linda Evans were some MILFy trio back in the days of Dynasty.

Beautiful & substantial & sweet - really the first black woman my generation could see as just another person. Somebody's wife, mom, neighbor, boss. That's probably a hella bigger achievement than she gets credit for. I salute you, Miss Carroll. RIP -
Yeah. A very beautiful woman who actually had to be talked into doing Diana and was IIRC considered "too glamourous" for such a role.Beautiful & substantial & sweet - really the first black woman my generation could see as just another person.

it was Bardot........................................................................................................and everybody else for me. I liked Honey West and Ann Margret and Fonda and Welch, but i knew Brigitte was all about the secks before i even knew what the secks was. When i was 4, we lived in a married students dorm at UVM and, all summer, a neighbor girl named Sara Jane (she's a physician not 10 minutes from there these days) used to drag me to the gardener's shed, tear me down to the nekkids and rub up on and squish me. I just knew that Miss Bardot also dragged & tore & rubbed & squished boys and liked it very much and was very good at it, and i didn't actually sense that w anybody else............cept maybe Don Knotts.My "Hot lady list" as a kid in the late 60s:
Diahann Carol, Lena Horne, Rachel Welch, Sophia Loren, Ginger, and TV's Catwoman.
Hadn't thought of them in years. They were a fun band.Eephus said:

Figured it was any day now, but damn. :(
Cream has a really weird legacy. Many hip rock critics of the time used them as a low bar when reviewing other bands. Then, I can recall in the '70s & '80s that they were in the pantheon of great Boomer bands. Then, they weren't..... then they were, etc.....Figured it was any day now, but damn. :(
That leaves us only Clapton from the legendary trio.
Agree 100% here. Their albums were a bit uneven - Disraeli Gears was the closest to hitting on all cylinders, but even that one had a bit of filler. Where Ginger and his cohorts were at their best is live, when they could stretch out and embrace the incredible chemistry, without the shackles of having to fill a pop album.Their live performance at Royal Album Hall in 1968 is a great example (it’s on YouTube).All three were insanely talented but their albums were wildly uneven (probably not the band's fault, but they are saddled with it).
Wikkid has a way of telling a story...a neighbor girl named Sara Jane (she's a physician not 10 minutes from there these days) used to drag me to the gardener's shed, tear me down to the nekkids and rub up on and squish me.

Damn. I just watched that documentary last month. Free on youtube.
Remember watching that goofy show as a kid with my brother and uncle. I remember my uncle laughing a lot.
First Rip Torn and now Rip Taylor. R.I.P. to both Rips.
IIRC, Sandra Bernhard won once.Remember watching that goofy show as a kid with my brother and uncle. I remember my uncle laughing a lot.
Dam-n, RIP to Rip. A staple of 70s television apart from his live comedy act.
Great call - forgot about that.And of course ... an obligatory clip from his turn on Amazon Women of the Moon.
Read some stuff over the weekend on him. many tributes to Ginger Baker the drummer, not many to Ginger Baker the human being. Not a very likable guy apparently.Figured it was any day now, but damn. :(

A Shtickmeister of the very first order, busting his way out of the bag society bullied him into to cast his magic jizz upon us all. RIP -

Are we sure this is true? We need a FBG in Omaha to check out the local Cinnabons in a few weeks for a new employee.Don Quixote said:
Best thing QT ever did was bring this old soul into public consciousness. I had loved him in my favorite TV show that didn't make it, Karen Sisco (w the scrumtrulescent Carla Gugino) and his true but heavy heart kep' a lotta #### real after his renaissance. We're running out of real guys here. RIP -Don Quixote said:

Though I agree, the clothing of the 1980s really did not do the female figure any favors.
One of my favorite Forster roles is in Alligator, a 1980 low budget horror movie about giant alligator who terrorizes the Chicago sewers. Forster plays a world-weary (what else) detective who deadpans his way through the film. It has a great cast including Henry Silva, Academy Award winner Dean Jagger, the guy who played Frank Pentangeli, Jack Carter as the Mayor and Kubrick's Lolita Sue Lyon in her last credited role.Don Quixote said:

There's a low res but watchable print on YouTube. Roger Ebert only gave it one star but he's dead and wrong.
Yes. Sayles also wrote The Howling, which after re-watching Alligator is a better film.Didn't John Sayles - Matewan, Brother from Another Planet, Lone Star, Sunshine State, Secret of Roan Inish, among others - write the script for this?
