    He definitely is highly respected, but from what I've seen, the overriding reason she was hired was because the production was so cheap that other professional armorers balked at being required to do both that job and prop work. I think if she had been a no-name, she still would have been hired because she was apparently the only one willing to deal with that. I don't think that reflects well on her or the production. 

    Yes, the Rust production was cheap, and I know professional armorers balked at taking the job. But, IMO, I still believe what swayed them to hire her was her father.  After all, what could be better than a cheap first-time lead armorer, so eager for the experience, you could throw in prop master too. But this cheap, eager armorer has a father who has done the job and his reputation in the industry is solid?  The production company thought they scored a bargain.

    I suppose this doesn't reflect well upon those responsible for employing her either. Stay tuned. 

    The probably thought Gutierrez-Reed knew how to handle the job because her father - Thell Reed - had an excellent reputation as an armorer and assumed he taught her firsthand.

    It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Jennifer Leak's passing. She wasn't just my screen sister in "Yours, Mine and Ours," but also my beloved first wife. Jennifer was a remarkable woman, strong, lovely, and incredibly talented. My deepest condolences go out to her husband of 47 years, James D'Auria and their multitude of friends.

    Look, Hagman and Katzman wanted Kanaly to stay with the show. So they hand waved the affair Ray and Lucy had. 

    Dallas never mentioning the Ray/Lucy affair again after Ray became a Ewing was the show's Men in Black way of saying: Didn't happen.

    Maybe, but more likely because CZ was either left out of the infamous Capote writing, or portrayed more generously than the other Swans 

    She was left out because - as C.Z. herself said - she never revealed everything about her private life. Which is indeed an understanding that when it came to talking with Truman Capote, Some things were better left unsaid.

    We heard Capote say almost nothing over the course of the season that was actually funny.

    Well, IRL was Capote actually witty/funny or was he simply catty about others and the swans loved it? That is, until the leopards came to eat their faces.

    I want to know why CZ, of all of them, was the one who let him back in.

    Because C.Z. Guest understood some things were better left unsaid when talking with Truman Capote.

  13. The 2024 Academy Awards In Memoriam*

    *Posted on YouTube by ABC News which aired The Oscars, although apparently the original music used as edited out.  IMO, this is one of the worst In Memoriam's The Oscars have done. At this rate, they'll soon have a singer do an entire set for the In Memoriam then flash a sign with the names of the deceased when they're done. 

    Updated: ABC has now included the original music/sound.
