May 25, 20233 yr comment_913523 The Mad Max beyond Thunderdome movie was released (good grief) in 1985 - so Turner was an awesome looking 46 year old. Gibson was a whole lot younger at 29. Report
May 26, 20233 yr comment_913600 RIP to my "Aunty Joyce." She was great friends with my mom from their early teens, and they lived in the same hometown for a bunch of years when they first raised a family; one of my best friends is her son. She was a kind and smart woman who still had a wonderful and sometimes biting sarcasm; I suppose that made her one of my favorites, too. She went downhill quickly, after an Alzheimer's diagnosis; though the signs were there longer. Larry lost his older brother to cancer more than a decade ago. Several years back his dad passed; and now his mom. My heart goes out to him as well. RIP Joyce, will certainly raise a glass tonight. Report
