  9. The purple text is a personality thing. I write everything with purple ink, have a purple key ring, purple colored keys, wear a lot of purple accessories (cell phone case, some favorite shirts etc.) It is something I have done for over 40 years and don't intend to change now. I can back off on the bold typeface if that "helps," but on over 100 forums I have posted (for 15+ years) this is the first "complaint" I have ever had. If this forum is for "head cases" then I had guessed I would fully qualify. On other forums I even have a fully purple & BOLD signature as well - still no complaints. Over... Hi Dusty!
  10. Met him in person a few years back when my late brother had a back-stage pass. Very personable and not at all stuck-up like many entertainers can be. See you on the other side Percy!
  11. R.I.P. Stan Freberg He was a satirist, did comedy parodies, and other things. The first thing I remember him for is his and Daws Butler's parody of "Dragnet". I still don't know if he was parodying the radio or TV show, or both. The scenes are from the first "Dragnet" TV show. Hey McManus, this one will speak to you!
  12. Youngest of eight brothers and a sister, Best was born Jewel Franklin Guy in Powderly, Ky., on July 26, 1926, to Lena Mae Everly Guy (sister of Ike Everly, father of entertainers Don and Phil Everly) and Larkin Jasper Guy. He spent time in an orphanage following his mother’s death in 1929, then was adopted by Essa and Armen Best and raised in Corydon, Ind. His first professional stage experience came in Germany with the Army after World War II playing a drunk in director Arthur Penn’s production of “My Sister Eileen.” Penn later directed such movies as “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Little Big Man” and “Left Handed Gun” with Paul Newman – a film in which Best had a small role. As a contract player at Universal Studios, Best played bit parts – mostly bad guys – from westerns with Audie Murphy and Charlotte (NC) native Randolph Scott to bits in “Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair” and “Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man.” On TV, Best had a featured role in “The Jar,” a haunting episode of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.” Other popular shows he got roles on included “Perry Mason,” “Gunsmoke,” “Ben Casey” and “The Twilight Zone.” Taught other actors Best’s academic credentials include teaching motion picture technique and drama at the University of Mississippi, where he was artist-in-residence. For 25 years, Best taught an acting technique class in Hollywood and worked with Gary Busey, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Teri Garr, Farrah Fawcett and Quentin Tarantino. One thing that sold Best on doing “The Dukes of Hazzard” was the location where the first episodes were shot: Covington, Ga., an area known for good fishing. But later the production moved back to California. It was a grueling pace, Best told the Observer. “But it was good money.” Scenes with Boss Hogg, played by Sorrell Booke, who died in 1994, “were 90 percent ad-libbed,” Best said. “He was such a professional.” “Dukes of Hazzard” was a top 10 prime-time show for three seasons, 1979 to 1982. A dog named Flash Fans of the program would remember Flash, a molasses-paced basset hound who accompanied Sheriff Coltrane on patrol. Best rescued the dog from a pound and brought it to the set at the beginning of the third season, suggesting the sheriff needed a partner. Producers didn’t like the dog, but Best prevailed and she got a role. Best was a dog lover who advocated for their humane treatment. He liked to greet fans who would bring their own basset hounds to meet him, and he kept “doggie num-nums” handy for them. Best’s last film was “The Sweeter Side of Life,” a 2013 Hallmark movie written and produced by his daughter, Janeen Damian, and her husband, Michael, who also directed. He was scheduled to star in “Old Soldiers,” a feature film about World War II veterans that was to begin filming this year.

  14. Attended the funeral for Bob Soto today, the man responsible for initiating the sport of recreational diving in the Caribbean. He will be sorely missed. The funeral attracted diving luminaries from across the globe. http://www.compasscayman.com/caycompass/2015/03/18/Scuba-diving-pioneer-Bob-Soto-passes-at-88/ http://www.compasscayman.com/caycompass/2015/03/20/Tributes-flood-in-for--father-of-diving-/ http://www.cayman27.com.ky/2015/03/18/dive-industry-legend-bob-soto-remembered The church was packed with members of the diving world and WWII veterans, both of whom he served with.
  15. His record of achievements is phonominal and spans many decades before and after Star Trek. What an immensely talented and versatile actor and producer. RIP Mr. Spock...
