Bronx Babe

For me he was the best looking Stooge, which actually now that I think about it really isn't saying much.

Me azzz well! And what about Efrem Zimbalist (sigh...) in 77 Sunset Strip?

I eventually sold my collection (including Bela's bathrobe) at some fan convention and raked in a pretty penny. I was quite a rabid Lugosi lover which in the back of my mind I did think was somewhat odd even if I couldn't analyze the attraction. I still have lingering affection for him to this day, although it's not exactly the grand passion it used to be. Bela's son will turn 80 next year -- hard to believe! At the other end of the spectrum, I had and still have romantic fantasies about Nelson Eddy in his Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform.

@Booney You got that right! Let me see -- Moe, Bud and Bela were, well, very authoritative in the characters they portrayed. But I've never been a woman who was attracted to the bad boy types. Go figure. I don't understand Paul Muni, however. But for some reason I found him adorable as a scruffy French-Canadian fur trapper in Hudson's Bay. That's where I first fell in love, lol.

@Booney, are you my long-lost sister??? I can't believe there was anyone else who thought Moe was the bee's knees, lol!!!! To this day I still cannot explain the attraction.... Get this -- my late father was a Bud Abbott lookalike, so much so that I actually thought Dad was an actor in Hollywood before moving to the Bronx and raising our family. I never got into (so to speak) Peter Lawford but he was definitely dreamboat material in the mid-forties whenever M.G.M. needed a young, handsome, "aristocratic" looking Englishman to add "prestige" to their movies. But the biggest crush I ever had -- and probably still do on some level -- was Bela Lugosi. Ever since seeing him in a Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine at the local candy store/hamburger joint back in da Bronx, I was instantly smitten. It was a photo of Bela as Count Dracula and I was mesmerized. It wasn't so much the character as I am not attracted to vampires but Lugosi himself. Like Moe, I still haven't figured it out. I accumulated an extensive collection of rare photographs of Bela from his films and private life, and when I lived in Los Angeles corresponded with fans who actually knew him. One of them sent me HIS BATHROBE (authenticated) which I slept with for years. I met Bela's lawyer son. (spitting image) I had to miss a Bela Lugosi convention one year because of the flu and I was devastated. I missed seeing Carroll Borland (Bat Girl Luna from Mark of the Vampire) and wife number four Lillian. To this day I feel bad. Oh, I also had the hots for Paul Muni.

Richard was a sweetie pie. Vince Edwards was always too intense for me, lol. My roommate at the time back in the day had the hots for Chad Everett in Medical Center. Enjoy dessert!

Thanks, @TexasTiffany! I'm waiting for Lionel Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie to finish saving the world.

Hi! I'm getting ready for The Return Of Dr. X in about 25 minutes on TCM. This is Bogart's first psycho role before his later ones in Conflict, The Two Mrs. Carrolls, In A Lonely Place, and The Caine Mutiny.

Thank you, @peachybean. I heard Cindy's 911 call and it sounded genuine to me. Listening to it several times made me think that perhaps she and Todd were overdoing recreational drugs and that this had an adverse affect on whatever genetic physical vulnerabilities he had.

I can't stop thinking about Cindy Sommer. I know she was found innocent but something about this case still bothers me. Was she only guilty of the "wrong" kind of bereavement? Just what exactly was the cause of husband Todd's death?

Can anyone tell me why a house hunter would feel comfortable being made to sound ridiculous via the script when, if they relocate to someplace like Outer Mongolia for example, they are required to state "This is so different from Milwaukee" ?

Canadian. North American. Canadian. I don't understand why the producers want to "hide" this fact.

The husband's demeanor and voice convinces me he's Canadian. Not sure about her, though.

From December of 2012.

Thanks for that update! Antoinette has several YouTube videos. Here's one: !

I checked out Antoinette Silicato. Her biography is just as pretentious. She lived in Sicily from 2007 to 2010 and then moved to Las Vegas.

@Empress1 Thanks so much!

Very interesting!

I'd love to read those discussions.

Portland, ME. Young dentist and chatty lisping wife with vocal fry, who NEVER SHUT UP. Ugh.

The "Idaho" professional mermaid wife was obviously from NZ as she had the accent, but nothing was mentioned on her background. I did enjoy them as a couple -- it seemed to me like the husband might have had some health crisis -- physical or psychological, which precipitated the family move. She was initially annoying to me with all that forced laughter but at the "epilogue" you could see how genuinely solicitous she was towards him and how he appreciated and valued her total support.

To my ears, making it even more confusing, the husband sounded like he had some kind of European accent. I couldn't pin it down,.

The Japan episode was interesting, to say the least. The narrator made mention of the fact that Godzilla movies were filmed in their city. Being an impressionable horror movie fan, I'd be terrified living there, lol.

A Kardashian made a literary reference! When they visited Ernest Hemingway's house Kourtney said "I read The Old Man and the Sea in high school" Maybe there's hope for this family after all....
