Is that Tom Selleck in the pic with Clint Eastwood dancing with Princess Diana?
There must have been so many addicts.
I have read that if the drug is available for a relatively low price, an opiod addict can live a relatively normal, productive life.
Wow interesting! Took me a moment to figure out the backwards shoes that the allies wore! lol!
With Diana there, this was some US-British event, so they probably had each dance couple as an American paired with a Brit (like Clint & Diana) ...
so, the guy dancing with Nancy Reagan is probably some British guy, not Tom Selleck ...
Think you’re right, but he sure could double for Clark Gable.
Oops, I meant the guy dancing with Nancy Reagan.
Sure looks like him though. Thank you.
They called morphine addiction “Soldiers Disease” after the CW. You could order kits complete with syringes out of the Sears catalog.
This is an awesome thread, especially that ring. Thanks!
One article attributes the creation of potato chips to a black man which is a narrative blacks created.
LA was 'founded' by Mexicans.
Texans committed racially driven 'murders' of Mexicans.
There may be good and historically accurate articles but it looks like History Daily has an agenda to elevate non-whites while denigrating whites with selective narratives.
Thanks, very interesting stuff.
The guy between Eastwood and Diana looks a lot like British actor Kenneth Griffith.
Sure does look like his famous mustache doesn’t it?
We did not have much money when I was a kid and my Mom would shop at the "Day Old Bakery". To this day, I do not like fresh bread. I like it a bit stale. ;o)
It is Selleck.
It was a White House gala. Eastwood, Selleck and John Travolta were there, according to the lengthier picture caption.
It is him indeed... His turn to dance with her...

Look at who else was at the same event...
Is that Tom Selleck in the pic with Clint?
Yep, and Ronnie Regan... :)
