The Grammy Awards 2022 In Memoriam

I enjoyed Braugh's Death on the Nile way more than his Murder on the Orient Express too. The costumes and visuals were excellent, although (IMO) certainly not at the level of Anthony Powell's Oscar winning costumes or Jack Cardiff's cinematography filmed in Egypt. Also, my sister - who had never seen or read any version of DOTN - immediately knew Jacqueline was guilty. According to sis there was no subtly to Emma Mackey's acting; the contempt for Linnet was there from the beginning and never wavered. Still, while I wouldn't purchase it, I would have no problem occasionally re-watching this DOTN on cable or streaming service, unlike Braugh's MOTOE. Wait. If Braugh adapts Roger Ackroyd and continues down a series path, isn't it who needs to be added and introduced as Bouc 2.0, Poirot's new Watson?

🎵This book is all that I need. How to, how to succeed… R.I.P. Robert Morse.

Hmmm. Have you recently disrespected dolls? Did you do Chucky and/or Talky Tina wrong?

Hmm. I clicked the arrow on the CBS/ATWT tweet again and it was indeed the Kathyrn Hays/Don Hastings scene. I can't answer where June Brown and Lady Gaga's video is coming from. Sorry!

SAG-AFTRA tweet on the death of Kathryn Hays: CBS As The World Turns (scene from final episode of ATWT):

Author Henry Patterson who under the pen name Jack Higgins wrote The Eagle Has Landed has died, age 92. https://deadline.com/2022/04/henry-patterson-dies-jack-higgins-the-eagle-has-landed-1234998749/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/09/henry-patterson-author-of-the-eagle-has-landed-dies-aged-92

Nehemiah Persoff's career was another example of what it means to be a character actor. 102 is a great run. R.I.P Mr. Persoff.

Kathryn Hays took Kim from a homewrecker who had an affair with her own sister's husband to the Hughes' family beloved second matriarch (Nancy obviously was first) by the end of ATWT's run. R.I.P. Ms. Hays.

Talky Tina approves this.

Bye Bye Birdie has one of my favorite movie dance scenes. R.I.P. Mr. Rydell.
