Sorry I missed this post. But she played the part of a broken down wiseguy whore to the letter.

Whenever I watch the scene where she starts singing Happy Birthday to Tony, a la Marilyn Monroe, I throw up in my mouth a little. And I have to believe that's what David Chase had in mind.

I cringe at that scene too.

When I first saw Cape Fear in the movies the one staring Mitchem and Bergin where he breaks the egg and rubs the egg into her really nice breasts. I got a jump from that scene

Evidently Mitchem to he said in an interview he didn't think Bergin had any interest in him until he saw her reaction to that scene. Then they made up for all the lost time.

Paul revere and the Radiers had their own show on tv. It was on at 4:30 Pm it here in NY it was pretty popular with kids at that time.

I met holder on 86 street and lex at one of the Papya hotdog places. He had a deep voice I think he was also a painter

For some reason I always imagine Footreads comments as noir movie monologues with dim lighting and lots of cigarette smoke.

I saw her standing on the corner of 86th street. She had skin like velvet and hair like a lion's mane. *Puffs cigarette* I think she was in the women's liberation movement.

By the way Footreads, I hope you don't take it the wrong way. I really enjoy reading your comments. You have a unique style.

I smoked cigars back them I would light up at apx 5:30 am at the end of the night then drive home.

Some days when I had to stay awake I would take no doz. then I would hit a light and go crazy and try to rip off the steering wheel off waiting for the light to change. If I would get cut off I would race in front of the guy who cut me off. Then start curing at the driver sometimes I would break his side window and try to pull him out the side window or open the door then tattoo him and run him over with his own car I was famous for that or grab his ear and ripe it off his head famous for that as well.

I am a little more laid back now.

Insanity isn't a style .

I'm not so sure. Some people raise it to an art form.

In his case, you may just have a point .

It was all the drugs basicly I am a relatively good person I hate when people call me good even funny even now I perceive it as being weak

When did Eli Wallach pass?

Back in June..

eli Wallach... great actor, lived to a long age 9os I believe, was said to have the part of Maggio in from "here to eternity" until the mob stepped in and got the part for that skinny little canary.

That's bullshit, Binnie. Ava Gardner got him the part through Harry Cohn. Period. That other urban legend took on a life of its own after Puzo wrote it into "The Godfather."

Didn't even know he passed. Boy have I been out of it.

p.b. well, ok.ill go with the ava gardner story. but, you know lots of people belive the other one, and the story of how he got out of the contract with tommy Dorsey. ive heard two versions of that one. one was willie morreti stuck a gun in tommy dorseys mouth, and the other one somebody gave Dorsey 60gs. I guess this belongs on another thread. but, boy, are there stories out there about this guy.

mignon.. eli Wallach and karl malden had to be right up there with the oldest actors. oh, and ernest borgnine was in his 90s also.not very many actors live that long.

Some people will believe anything.


More bullshit. Tommy Dorsey was paid millions of dollars over time. That pig Kittey Kelley even acknowledged as much (as did Anthony Summers, who wrote a much more competent biography about Sinatra). And this was in the '40s, which would translate into much more than that today. It's a matter of public record. But when Puzo wrote that sensationalist bullshit, it took on a life of its own.


And that's just what most of them are. Stories.

Look, it's obvious that you didn't like the guy. Fine. And there was a lot about Sinatra to dislike. He was a bully. He hid behind the mob. And a whole lot more than that. But that story about Dorsey and his contract would have eventually died out like any other silly rumor if Puzo didn't write about it. There was no gun, no Luca, and no threat of brains on a contract.

Sinatra has too be one of the most overrated singers ever..

Wrong. That would be those four limeys from Liverpool .

And millions around the world would say otherwise..

Seriously i don't know what it is about Sinatra,but im not a fan..

never could understand the adoration of the beatles, maybe a couple of songs not much else. never could understand the love of john lennon either. he was anti-American to his core. yet, he took all the money he made here. kitty kellys book turned me against Sinatra, if it all wasn't true why didn't he sue her. why didn't he sue puzo. if puzo lied then he did Sinatra a very grave disservice, and if Kelly lied, the same.

Some people get it; others obviously don't.

yes, Sinatra was a great entertainer, one of the worlds greatest. and he lasted forever. personally I loved dean martin, and vic damone. but, never listen to Sinatra.

My opinion of Sinatra is that he was a great singer/entertainer but as a human being he was an asshole. Just my opinion on the guy.

benny3balls, I agree...........

Neither Sinatra or The Beatles are overrated. They are both tied for my #1 favorite artist/band.

He was hounded by the press and most of the reporters were just after a story to make a name for themselves. Sinatra was an extremely compassionate and generous guy, often paying medical bills for friends and others who could not afford to pay.

Don't get mad, it's just my opinion. I saw Frank in concert once in AC, he was having trouble remembering some of the words to his songs but it was still great seeing him live. The crowd loved him.
