Very left. No, further left than that. Started a theatre co. in SF; ran it for years and years. And years. And years. Directed, produced (shows & CDs),acted, & against my better judgment, sang. Charlie’s dog dad. She’s a girl (think Hitchcock).🏳️‍🌈🐶
You never know, BG. If Pamela Anderson can have a career renaissance, who's to say Paris Hilton isn't hiding a phenomenal musical theatre talent!
Why, not since Lenore Lonergan ...!

Why, I can't remember the last time I was confused by a large penis. I suppose none of us can.

Attention has been paid.

It was the extremely early hour (which it was out here). It affected my sarcasm-detection meter (and my sense of the absurd). So in that case, well done, Medium Raya!

Nathan and Laurie should switch parts back and forth, a la the Linney/Nixon Little Foxes. That'll fill up that huge theatre!

Ha-ha! Not sure the contemporary gay meaning was used in the early 1950s, but in any event it's called that because of California's state flag.

Agree that the Encores album is pretty wonderful. I've done the show twice and seen it a third time, and I don't remember the ending that way. I wonder if it had to do specifically with that adaptation?

Well, stunt casting wasn't a "thing" back then. As to handling the legitimate stage - do you mean more than she already had been handling it since the 1930s?

I can definitely hear Shirley scoring huge with Sweet Thursday & her reprise of All at Once You Love Her. Suzy is a Good Thing would be dicier in her voice, but she'd act the heck out of it.

It was a very tossed-off comment. I'll believe it when I see it.

That's not Santa Monica, is it?

All-time fave I saw in theaters on opening weekend:
3-way tie, sorry)
Chinatown
Young Frankenstein
Body Heat

Never saw in theaters when it came out:
Bye Bye Birdie

A spectacular finish to November. Happy Birthday!

One of the great movie entrances of all time!

I would've guessed The Warrior's Husband except for the sepia.

Well, in the song, it's
Wake Up
Wake Up Dead Man
(But as a title it's unpunctuated.)

Seriously, Donna Murphy doing the "Sister Ligouri
death" scene? And
Donna Murphy helping her make the uniform?
Tony gold.

Ooh - this is already giving me chills!

Ahem. If there's a *real* 6:45 am, it's in Greenwich Mean Time and occurs at
1:45 am Eastern Standard Time.
November 26, 2025 at 8:50 PM
6:45am? I don't know her.

I wonder if it was Barbara who asked for the lyric change?
