Notes from the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. In previous years, The Picture Slot was all Star Trek, writer/producer Jeri Taylor from the Next Generation era and actress Charlene Polite, who was on The Cloud Minders from the original series. This year, it's Vincent D'Onofrio from Men in Black.
2. Spot the fabulous Canadians! There are three Canadians on the list today, lovely actresses born in the early 1970s, Molly Parker, Kate Luyben and Megan Fahlenblock.
3. MST3K. There might be others, but the one I know for sure is Revenge of the Creature.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.

Predictor: John Langdon-Davies in his 1936 book A Short History of the Future
Prediction: England will have a population one-tenth its present size.
Reality: Langdon-Davies thought England would have nothing to offer the rest of the world other than being a tourist destination and the population would dwindle. But to dwindle to one tenth of the former size takes some awful catastrophe, like famine or plague or a vicious war, even worse than World War II was to the hardest hit places like Poland and the Soviet Union. Nothing like that has happened to the United Kingdom.
Jack Carter, a nightclub comedian whose career was at its peak in the era when Ed Sullivan's show was the must-see TV on a Sunday night, died this week, less than seven days after his 92nd birthday. His appearances in genre include 3rd Rock from the Sun, Time Trax, Lois & Clark, They Came From Outer Space, Arena, Amazing Stories, Alligator, Beyond Westworld, I Dream of Jeannie, Batman and Tales of Tomorrow.
Best wishes to the family and friends or Jack Carter. He is never to be forgotten.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
It's a new month, so there will be a new splash illustration.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Nestor Paiva was quite the regular on MST 3K , also scoring The Lost Continent, The Mole People, and Rocky Jones, Space Ranger (Crash of the Moons and one other whose title escapes me...). Hope those checks all cleared, Nestor!!
ReplyDelete304 credits. Even under the Studio System, that's a lot of work for a short life. (He's only 83 short of the similiarly-aged Eric Roberts, and he didn't do softcore.)
DeletePavia is also my hero for Nepotism WTF:
"Appeared in Comanche (1956) with both his children in their only acting roles (uncredited, young boy and young girl killed by Indians)."
Imagine the dinner table discussion.
