[QUOTE=Simpy;996182623]The Pink Panther! That's where I know his face. I feel so much better about all of this now. :)[/QUOTE]
:) Indeed.
Still, take the time to check him out elsewhere. Incredible films. Guns of Navarone, Casino Royale, Wuthering Heights, My Man Godfrey, Enchantment, Please Don't Eat The Daisies, Around the World in 80 Days, etc., etc., etc. Way too many to even list.
Speaking of Wuthering Heights...seems like a good enough reason for Kate. Any reason is good enough reason for Kate. But at least there's a segue.

David Niven [b]and[/b] Doris Day? Shocked the studio didn't implode with such greatness. A favorite of mine as well.

Johnny Weissmuller can be blamed for much of your lifelong angst. You should have always remember the positive; There was always a vine. Just sayin'...........

Doris Day is great. She is still with us as well. Have caught relatively recent interview clips of her on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). Love her film career, as well as her music.

Incidentally, turning back to David Niven. Something not everyone might know, David Niven served in the military in his country from, I believe, sometime around 1930 to 1933. He left and continued acting, however when the British declared war on Germany on Sept. 3, 1939, he left acting and reenlisted, seeking out among the most active/exciting unit possible. When his first assignments did not prove exciting enough, he was, upon his request, transferred into the British Commandos and even participated in the Invasion of Normandy (post D-Day). Ultimately, he was even presented with the Legion of Merit here in the US by President Eisenhower.
The man was a true class act, in every sense and facet of the word.

In such cases, David Niven always wins. Always.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=latebloomingmom;996093713]when I was a little girl I was convinced that big foot lived in the woods next to my grandparents house

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Unless of course your grandparents lived next to the woods behind my elementary school, because every kid in town knew that Bigfoot lived in those woods. :)

As a kid I never thought Dave Allen would get old and die. He was my favorite comedian and even though a bit risque, I was allowed to watch his TV show
(half the jokes flew over my head anyway)
Dave's take on Christmas 1986...enjoy

at the end of every show he would say "goodnight and may your God go with you" which I thought was pretty cool coming from a Roman Catholic

Growing up I always thought...there would never be a bad James Bond movie.

Growing up I always thought... I'd have it all together long before I reached 47.
Of course I didn't think I'd be lifting weights at 47. I didn't think I'd care about having a six pack either.

After watching the movie Ants, I was very afraid that any day ants would run amok and invade my home and eat me.
Still waiting....

Be glad you didn't watch the movie, "Sssssssssss...." Or perhaps, like myself, you did.
Looking back, the doc in the movie is named Dr. Stoner.
Yeah, I get it now.

You know, Ssssss didn't really bother me that much either, but it did fcuk with me a bit...later, at night, as I tried to sleep. Actually, I watched it as a kid on KTVU 2 back home in SF. What probably saved me from getting more scared was the fact that the KTVU t.v. announcer would, going into/out of commercials, say, "We'll be right back with [or we now return to...] 'Ssssssssss'...," making the sound (as only one can do). I thought that was hilarious.
Trilogy of Terror on the hand never fazed me at all. I actually thought that doll was one of the funniest things I'd seen.
There was a movie called "Don't Go In The House" that definitely scared the sh*t out of me (outside of the T&A - which I watched it for at a friend's house).
Another one that got me was that window scene from "Salem's Lot."

Yeah, and Alfred Hitchcock made me think twice around large flock of birds

Hitchcock was a fcuking genius, both in film and television. Appreciate him immensely now; as a kid, he scared me sometimes but my father was a huge Hitchcock fan so I had to endure it. Glad I did now.
Twilight Zone the Movie had its moments for me as well. As did, I believe, Creepshow - especially the roaches.

Can't blame the kid. That chick was annoying as hell. Much like Custer, she had it coming.
