Fun with Keywords! (vol. 4) Where was I??


Oh yes, answering questions. ;)

After five months in an emotional slumber, I guess I'll pick-up right where I left off.

"Did Cornel Wilde use a toupee?"

I don't think so; not in his heyday, anyway.

"World doll 19" Ginger Rogers value"

Good/Used condition: twenty to thirty bucks. NRFB: thirty to fifty bucks.

"1949 brunette woman"

Um, ME, if I lived in 1949? ;)

"Harpo Marx"

Played the harp.

"State Fair with Jeanne Crain and Dana Andrews"

1945. Fox. Technicolor. Four out of Five Stars. A sort of MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS without the MGM gloss.

"Actor Humphrey Bogart doll"

Made by Effanbee in the 1980s. Wish I had one!

"Cornel Wilde Naked."

Wish I had that, too!

"East Side Kids Bowery Boys"

Who??

"Scarlett O'Hara Barbie dolls"

There are plenty of 'em.

"Naked Scarlett O'Hara doll"

Just take its clothes off, chump.

"Ginger Fox Naked"

Who is this Ginger Fox?! You can see ME naked...just give me a million dollars and a Humphrey Bogart doll. ;)

"Casino spiel Humphrey Bogart"

Um, by 'Casino', I'm gonna assume you meant 'bar', as in Rick's, and by 'spiel', I'm gonna assume you're looking for the famous lines from CASABLANCA?

"I bet they're asleep in New York. I bet they're asleep all over America. [Slams fist] Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world! She walks into mine."

"Would like to see the bowery boys on TCM one whole day"

Well, then I hope you were watching July 23rd (or was it the 21st?) of this year. They showed 'em from five am 'til prime time. If you missed it, TCM is still airing the entire Bowery Boys series, one entry every Saturday.

"Movies with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews"


From best to worst, their five films include:

LAURA
WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS
THE IRON CURTAIN
TOBACCO ROAD
BELLE STARR

"Are all the Dead End Kids deceased?"

Yes.
Bobby Jordan died in 1965, at the age of 42.
Leo Gorcey died in 1968, age 51.
Billy Halop died in 1976, age 56.
Gabe Dell died in 1988, age 68.
Huntz Hall died in 1999, age 79.
And Dr. Bernard Punsly died in 2004, age 80.

"Bowery Boys DVD box set"

There isn't one, yet.

"The last days of Humphrey Bogart"

He wandered off into the ocean, and went for a swim. Thus meeting Leslie Howard. The two old friends swam to the bottom of the sea floor, and opened a door, and were never heard from again.

Ha. I have no idea. What am I, psychic?

I think he was in a horrible state of pain from throat cancer. He wanted wife Lauren Bacall to snuggle up with him in the bed. He died the next morning. The world lost one of the best actors ever, a woman lost her husband, and worst of all, two kids lost their father.

Now don't you like my little silly version better? ;)

...

Oh, I'm sorry I went away for five months. I was in a bad state of sobriety-fueled depression. Now my little girl's back in school (first grade), so I have more free time during the day, and my insomnia is acting up (for the millionth time in my life!), so I have more free time at night; figured it was a good time to return.

Statistics show you can never have too many people saying they're glad you're back.
So I'm here to tell you that I'm glad you're back too.

Jonas: Yes, it's me! :)

Is that you, Mr. Nordin? Would you like a cup of coffee, Mr. Nordin? ;)

I've wandered back from obscurity.

Thank you so much for the welcome, Jonas.

I figured everyone would hate me, since I've been gone for so long.

...

Artman: Well, hello to you too! :)

No need for a million! You're an artist. We'll pretend it's art class, and I'll be the model. ;)

Thank you for the welcome back.

...

Millie: Thank you!! :)

I'm glad you're glad. And I hope you're well.

...

Moremiles: Thank you. I'm glad to see you too. Is it almost our birthdays? Same day and everything? Or just both in October?

I feel honored you think I'm intelligent and creative. Thank you. And I'll try to stick around. At least for a season. And then if I fade out again, I'll always come back eventually. :)

And thank you, I'm glad you love the new picture! Felt it was time to bring out the Canon. Maybe start posting more photography around here.

Cheers to you, too! :)

...

Matthew: Statistics show you're right! ;)

I'm glad you're glad. And glad you told me.

It's nice to hear from you. :)

...

And to everyone: I'm sorry I didn't post for so long. And I'm the most sorry for disappearing, and never keeping in touch.

Thank you, again, all of you, for the warm welcome back.

I hope you're all well. And hope to catch up with you, soon! :)
