I do remember Cyd Charisse (vaguely). I thought of her more as a dancer, but I remember my folks watching movies with her. I forgot she was married to Tony Martin (he's 95??) Is he the one that always sang Auld Lang Syne at New Years? Or am I thinking of someone else?


TIS

That was Guy Lombardo.

Thanks PB, you're right. For some reason I can't place his face, but I know the name.



TIS

Tony Martin:

Cyd Charisse was a great dancer, with the most beautiful legs in the business. She was wonderful in Singin' in the Rain, dancing with Gene Kelly in Broadway Melody, and with Fred Astaire in The Band Wagon, in the most amazing red dress.

How sick and twisted is this game? A person dies, and we congratulate those who picked him or her to die!!!

Twisted!
We're all twisted people!

Sometimes I get the "feeling" about things that happen. Guess you could call me a wannanbe psychic. The rest of you can call me an idiot.

After Cyd, I got the "feeling" that the next major actress to go(hate to say), Maureen O'Hara. She is 88 soon!

Well if that is true Mini then three of us will score a point sad to say.

Don't ya think it's twisted to be playing in the first place?

If Maureen does go, I will be absent for a few days.

I'll be sad.

Nobody had George Carlin.

What a shock to hear that he died!

WHAT???!!

omg...

Stupid game aside... OMFG., dissadisfying to the extreme...

I love GC

I know what you mean Geoff. I just saw him recently on tv but can't remember where (talk show).

Anyway, I would never have guessed losing him. Sorry to hear this news.


TIS

I'm seriously sad about this... He was on my "long list" of to-see... ah, shit! ...and I'm NOT sad simply cuz he was on my to-see list... I just think he's awesome...! ;/

Sad news, indeed. I was sleeping with the tv on and the ABC overnight news must have broadcast it while I was dreaming because in my dream last night Al Michaels was announcing a Monday Night Football game and announced that Carlin was to perform at halftime, but had died moments ago.

"H-o-w S-i-c-k A-n-d T-w-i-s-t-e-d I-s T-h-i-s G-a-m-e?"


Mama, I think that perhaps you've been sucking in too many of those fumes from the moonshine maker!


On a serious note, what a shocker about George Carlin! Sad.

I got to see Carlin live about 10 years ago on New Years Eve, and never missed an HBO special, and before that had all his albums. He was one of the great comedic geniuses of this era. RIP

Mignon and Don Cardi score a hit. Character actress, Dody Goodman died yesterday. She was 93 years old.

Mig is now tied for the lead (with Geoff @ 7 hits). Don Cardi now has three and is on a tear... this is his second hit for the month.

dontomasso has still yet to score.

Time for Miggy and me to go to the mattresses!

Does she at least get flowers?

Beth's back!! Where have you been??? I've missed you!

Is Dody Goodman the actress who played the little step-sister on My Three Sons?

No. You think she'd have been 93 years old?

Are you thinking of this girl? I think the character's name was Dodi. Some people told me she reminded them of me at that age. Poor kid.

It was a virtuoso performance.

I just looked Dody Goodman up on Wikipedia and she played the Principals assistant, Blanche, in Grease 1 and 2.

I can't do that. The Col. wouldn't be happy.



I want red roses.

I guess that was a pretty stupid question. Whoever played on My Three Sons must only be in her 40's or 50's now.

For posterity, here are the standings (and the number of kills in parenthesis) at the halfway point:

1. Geoff (7)
1. Mignon (7)
3. klydon (5)
4. Don Cardi (3)
5. TIS (2)
5. SC (2)
7. Beth (1)
7. Blibbleblabble (1)
9. dontomasso (0)
