May we be the first to wish you a Felix Navidad?
At the height of moviegoing in America, there were probably several hundred theatres in the nation called "The Strand," which sounded like a place to get left behind. We had one down in Dundalk that looked a lot like this one...and that's where the famous "popcorn cup" scene in "Diner" was filmed.
I like this house! And it must have been easy to decorate the upper branches and put the star on top. And maybe the tree decorations could just go in that storage area beneath the steps.
What do you call these snow clods that form in the wheelwell as you drive along a snowy, icy road? And people in Florida will never know how much fun it is to knock them off with your boot!
Yippee ki yay, it's Christmas!
In the 1950s, marital and family life in America was always depicted as a series of merry mixups, with Doofus Dad screwing everything all to heck.
Bobby Darin died on 12/20/73 at 37. Born Robert Walden Cassotto, he knew as a child that his life would be short because of a heart weakened by a childhood bout with rheumatic fever, so he rode his not-inconsiderable ego to fame as a singer, nightclub performer, and actor. He had that show-bizzy way about him, which led to Eddie Haskell on "Leave It To Beaver" asking Wally, when he dressed up a little, "Who do you think you are, Bobby Darin?"
At the end of the year, it's time for reflection.
