Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Plenty of good reading and viewing today lads and lassies, thank you one and all.
I did hear that William Shatner was a bit of a bully on set, he thought the whole show revolved around him.
Who could ever forget lieutenant Uhura’s beautiful sexy legs, and Scotty’s temper if anyone messed with his beloved engines, ah memories.
I used to read a lot of autobiographies then I realised nobody was going to write anything bad about themselves or disclose anything that might damage their image in interviews for the general public to know about, remember how Rock Hudson’s secret was kept for so long and all the interviews he did. I remember him doing one for RTE. Today looking them up on Wikipedia gives you more info from different sources.
Was Joan Crawford really cruel to her daughter as the book “Mommy Dearest’ states? Was Stan Laurel a tight fisted bully who demanded a 60/40 share from that humble gentleman Oliver Hardy in the Laurel and Hardy partnership? Did Bela Lugosi hate Boris Karloff or were they the best of friends as another book suggests? So many Hollywood secrets we will never truly know.
I was always a Bette Davis fan, Crawford never appealed to me on screen, God bless the mark as they used to say, but something about the size or shape of that mouth of hers always put me off.
There is no doubt Davis was an outstanding actor, (I believe one cannot say actress any more) she certainly knew her trade.
God bless your insight Pug, all this unwashed peasant can see is steps with piano keys painted on them, where would us serfs be without the enlightened ones.
