Candice Bergen (not Ingrid Bergman) was in “The Sand Pebbles”.

Yes, yes indeed.

Hollywood ruined her and of course it was all just film.

[wjcsux]

She was a very awesome woman.

“Wait Until Dark” with an extremely frightening Alan Arkin.

[mumblypeg]

True.
Tulip bulbs, iris bulbs, camas lily bulbs can be boiled & eaten like potatoes, a good thing to know if the SHTF.
Most people think they’re just flowers.

Oh, Julia was a Force Of Nature, to be sure! Ever seen her hack apart a chicken? LOL! Fearless! :)

Re: ‘Wait Until Dark.’

One of my favorite films, and I’ve seen the play on and off Broadway.

The last scene is worth the price of admission. Anywhere!

Cutting up a whole chicken for frying is becoming a lost art.

Brilliant mind: frequency hopping for allied torpedoes, leading ultimately to cellular phones.

[Does so]

Hence, “Operation Manna”...

[YogicCowboy]

A writer now attests that Glenn Miller was spying for the allies, was captured, and tortured to death. What is known is that his scheduled flight on a Noorduyn Norseman never arrived in France.

bump for later

Did not know that. Thanks!

Another favorite book of mine is "Five Years Under the Swastika." A self-published book by Fritz Forier(SP). Almost like a Dutch Tom Sawyer.

SOME camas. White camas is also known as death camas. You will die a painful death if you eat white camas bulbs.

[mumblypeg]

True dat. I erred in failing to mention this.
But very few nurseries sell camas, & those who do usually post warnings.
Something about white flowers in general makes a lot of them poisonous.
White Oleanders was a novel about a woman who murdered her unfaithful boyfriend by distilling the juice from the plant & smearing it all over his doorknobs.

I’ve read that Native American tribes regarded blue camas as a food staple.

An interesting book, imo more for the insight to wartime Holland than her actions which are related but without a lot of detail. Both parents were supportive of Hitler, mom traveled to Nuremberg where she met Hitler. Interesting the CIA/FBI files which would have been generated by the OSS and to a lesser extent the Dutch government in exile and underground, have vanished. Mom was more of a lipstick Nazi, who changed her tune after a few years of the occupation, and wasn't punished by the underground when the Nazis were driven out. Considered a bit of an airhead, her semi royal lineage probably helped. Her fascist dad, also a royal, maybe, spent the war in England.
