She fought a courageous battle with cancer. Yes, she'll always be “Honey West” to me. RIP.

I just watched her Twilight Zone episode the other night, the one where she was a department store mannequin and didn’t know it. Circa 1960.

RIP

We watched a Collin Ferrell movie as well. My wife will kill me if I kill him.

Hey, maybe Bama will give a speech! Use my power for good.

I thought it looked like the Taz! Hubby and I watched it last night and my heart was pounding! For being made in 1956, it certainly was ahead of its time. Awesome movie.

There are no actual movie stars/actors left, really. All the truely glamorous and bonafide ones are gone- the ones we could really look up to. All we have is the overpaid celubucrap that is constantly forced down our throats. The very ones that call us idiots and think we welcome their advice on how to live.

RIP Miss Francis

Nopw that you mention it, we’d better keep an eye out for Earl Holliman, too. He’s in his 80’s (lied about his age to join the Navy in WW2, according to Wikipedia). Also, he starred in the “Twilight Zone” pilot.

None of them know how to act. It’s all special effects. I don’t believe any of them could memorize a speech like Spencer Tracy did in “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”. Ok there are a few such as John Travolta (post Saturday Night Fever era) and one or two others, but -?

Yeah - they’re were prototyping the Star Trek uniforms that wouldn’t appear for another decade.

Didn’t Angie Dickinson and Holliman have a fling back when they did Police Woman together?

She was very pretty but not on a Barbara Eden level..
A "Who was the most beautiful" debate could be fun..
