Favorite actor: Tie between Gregory Peck and James Garner (imagine either of these guys as president instead of Ronald Reagan)

 

Favorite actress: Bette Davis is the better actress, but Joan Crawford in "Mildred Pierce" is probably my favorite female role of all time.

RE: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers dance on air

 

Am I an anomaly here that I don't credit these older stars the way the others do?

[Candyman]

MONROE, I thought that you were talking about Rick Monroe. I forgot about the other one even though she was a legend on her time. Sorry how quickly we forget.

RE: Monroe

 

Candyman, you can easily tell the difference because Marilyn didn't know that she should have spelled her last name M U N R O E. And her butt wasn't nearly as hairy.

Favorite actor: definately Marlon Brando

With more current actors, I'd have to say Ed Norton is up near the top. He's unbelievable.

I don't know how those faces got there. They were supposed to be quotation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Will]

RE: Movies and Movie Stars

 

Not question marks, but PARENTHESES.

RE: Movies and Movie Stars

 

LOL, Will -

 

The symbol

 

 

is formed by using a colon followed by a left parenthesis. In some of your items, you put a space ": (", which prevented the system from forming the faces.

 

Computers can be pretty literal-minded.

 

But I liked the faces and thought you were intending them... just couldn't understand why you chose frowns. :-)
