  1. Tina Louise? I'd say she's doing okay for 82.
  2. It means he could blame Moby-Dick for the damage.
  3. ?. Not to me. Still didn't find the picture by searching Deanna Durbin with globe.
  4. I couldn't find this shot, but some strange energy force from an undiscovered planet says, "Deanna Durbin."
  5. Sure looks like Dolly, but she's already been here.
  6. Cybill Shepherd.
  7. I really miss the part of the old format where all the replies were numbered. Made it much easier to direct someone to a relevant post.
  8. Is it Groundhog Day? : )
  9. Who makes the blazing black paint? Is it spray can or airbrush?
  10. I was thinking to propose this one a while back, but didn't remember this shot. She was hot as a Calamity Jane type in"El Dorado" with John Wayne -- Michele Carey.
  11. Stagecoach. Outstanding performance.
  12. My daughter gave me an expensive bottle of 12-year-old Macallan, which is plenty good but a bit tart. I'll stick with Dewar's.
  13. Add a great white whale to your diorama.
  14. Art certainly knows his stuff regarding American classics, especially ACD cars. Here's a post from the AACA forum: "I'll have to stand corrected on the earliest use of metallic paint! The ACD Museum [displayed] a 1927 Duesenberg Model X sedan which is listed there as being an all-original, unrestored car. It's painted in a now-faded green, which has a very, very fine (almost pearlescent fine) metallic powder in it." Consensus is that aluminum particles were not unusual from the late '20's on. So, that seems to answer the question whether pearlescent or metallic paints would be period-correct for 1936 American cars. I assume MB could have done or were doing the same thing in the Sonderwagen division. I think the "visible to the eye" reference on the color chart probably means extremely fine particles compared to modern metallics, and the "scarcely visible" means exactly that. Two degrees of very tiny particles. I am feeling more comfortable going with at least a small amount of metal particle for my car. The AACA manual/rules apparently state that the first use of metallic paint was November 1927, and prior use is "original" upon proper documentation." Different kinds of materials were also used to create metallic finishes, but that's another story.
  15. My all-time favorite whiskey. $120 - $140 per bottle. (That's why I haven't had it in years).
  16. No takers because this was on the last page, where nobody looks. It's Romy Schneider.
  17. I think these are very elegant. The bottom one seems like what you describe with metallic gray/silver.
  18. Absolutely.
  19. Honor Blackman.
  20. Nope. Barbara's already been here. Hint: German.
  21. Another European star for the movie buffs out there. Hint: She's the grandmother of a TV celebrity chef. I would have thought that Stan would have found this one. It's Silvana Mangano, star of classic Italian films; she married mega-producer Dino de Laurentiis; her granddaughter is TV chef Giada de Laurentiis.
  22. Here's another of my '60s faves...It could have been shot yesterday.
  23. Esperanto, introduced in the late 19th Century, was an amalgamation of many languages and dialects, intended to replace English as the default international language. Surprisingly, there are still about 2,000,000 speakers. But I doubt that it will ever catch on, like Klingon and Dothraki. Around here at the University of Tennessee, student diversity activists have attempted to recommend "gender-neutral pronouns" to erase gender-specific ones, such as he/she with words like "xe." The state legislature removed the Diversity Department's funding as a result.
