I would also recommend Sidney D. Kirkpatrick's book, A Cast of Killers, which discusses the director King Vidor's attempts to solve the murder of director William Desmond Taylor in 1922. Moore plays a big part in that book.
OMG, I own this book! Or at least I used to own it. Now I can't remember if I loaned it to somebody (and it never returned) or if it's packed away somewhere in my house. Maybe I'll do a search this Thanksgiving weekend. Or maybe I won't LOL. Anyway, I do agree it's a very good read.
In other news, CBS is set to air a celebration of Dick Van Dyke's 98th birthday on December 21. Good luck with that, Dick! Seems to me every time one of these Celebrating X Birthday! is announced for a future date, The Grim Reaper comes a knocking first.

Most likely he is reacting to TMZ using their despicable police sources to break the story early and while the family was still reeling from the news. Carvey’s statement was posted 15 minutes after TMZ reported the death.
Growing anger at TMZ's behavior following the death of Matthew Perry also most likely prompted the linked article below from The Hollywood Reporter.

I was so confused!
ION, someone posted TCM Remembers 2001 to YouTube. I have never seen this one and thought perhaps others haven't either, so decided to post it here:

I had never heard of her until I read here about that sexist filth he posted a while back, publicly shaming her for what she was wearing. Now I read this -- that guy is abusive trash.
I first heard of Keke Palmer from Akeelah and the Bee. I wish her and her son all the best.

I'm not ashamed to admit it: I love the Just Eat music video commercial featuring Christina Aguilera and Latto so much, I've rewatched it several times on YouTube. And that's without knowing a damn thing about Just Eat.

R.I.P. Mark Goddard.
From Bill Mumy's (Will Robinson on Lost in Space) Facebook page:
QuoteI hate writing this.
R.I.P. to Mark Goddard. A truly beloved friend and brother to me for 59 years. I knew this was coming for the past few months. Shortly after a great phone chat he and I had on his 87th birthday in late July, I became aware that I would most likely never see or speak with him again.
The last words we exchanged were "I love you."
Mark’s “real” name was Charles Harvey. Mine is Charles William. We called each other by those birth names often. We also called each other “Captain Panther” and “Fox” based on the crude childhood comic books I wrote and drew in my spare time while filming Lost in Space. He and I had a lot of great memorable times together during the three years of filming the series. We got into some pretty goofy trouble.
Mark was a truly fine actor. Naturally gifted as well as trained. I know he sometimes felt constricted by the campy frame that LIS constrained him within, but he also embraced and loved it.
Mark was a sports nut. He passionately followed his Boston teams. He was a die hard Celtics fan. I’m a die hard Lakers fan. We teased each other about that classic rivalry and we both had great respect for many of the players on the teams we rooted against.
He was ridiculously handsome and eternally boyish. Mark was very funny and spontaneous. He enjoyed having a good time.
My deepest condolences and love to Mark's amazing and strong wife Evelyn and his wonderful children, Melissa, (Missy), Michael, Caleb and John.
There's a part of me that envisions him having a martini in Heaven right now with Jonathan Harris, Kevin Burns, Guy Williams and other comrades who left this world of woe before him. There's a part of me that believes he's in a better place now. A much better place.
But I still hate writing this.

Great music. My favorite Isley Brothers' songs are "This Old Heart of Mine" and Fight the Power."
🎵I tried to play my music
They say my music's too loud
I tried talking about it
I got the big run aroundAnd when I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
By all this bulls**t going down.Truth still relevant today. R.I.P. Mr. Isley.

What happened to Max Baril’s Classic Movie Musts podcast? I can’t find it anywhere and even older episodes seems to have disappeared from both Apple Podcast and Spotify.
