Has anyone else noticed that the little Google street view man has a new look this week? What's the deal with that? He appears to have long dark hair and a purple leisure suit.

(Yes, I'm logged in and yes, I've turned it off and on again, lol.)

Because today is April 1.

But I’m the BEST little girl, mommie. :-)

I don't blame her father for skipping out, changing his name, working as a private detective and spending the next nine years flirting with Della Street.

It’s the little icon that you use to go to street view on Google maps

“Because today is April 1.

The rest of this week wasn’t.

You know he was totally gay in real life, right? What an actor!

If you point to certain areas of Nevada, it becomes a Flying Saucer.

Start with Rachel, Nv.

William Hopper was one of those? I knew about Raymond Burr, but Hopper was a frogman in the Navy, and quite married. (Hopper on left)

The rest of this week wasn’t.

Yeah. I see that now. Should have read through the replies first. But why break with tradition? ;-)

[Kommodor]

Yes, but will he take you there?

To my knowledge Bill Hopper was not Gay, Raymond Burr certainly was.

According to Hopper’s bio he was married twice and had one daughter.

His war record is amazing and here it is: Hopper served with the United States Navy during World War II, as a volunteer with the Office of Strategic Services[6][12] and as a member of the newly created Underwater Demolition Team. He received a Bronze Star and several other medals during operations in the Pacific.[13]

I always liked Bill Hopper and thought he was a underrated actor. He died way too young.

As an actor, he was fine in Perry Mason, but quite Wooden in "The Bad Seed" (where he plays Rhoda's dad, which started all this. He was okay as Natalie Wood's dad in "Rebel without a Cause". I heard he was awful in the horror movie "The Preying Mantis", but maybe suitably so, given the movie's premise (200ft preying mantis wreaks hi-jinx in Alaska. Burr got the better movie with the original American version of Godzilla)

Oops you are right, it was Burr I was thinking about, my bad. It’s usually the good looking ones, haha.
