I *love* that version of “lousy” and am on an apparently one-man mission to revive it.

Lamar was also allegedly into the prescription painkillers as well. Rob’s situation has opiate addiction written all over it. The weight gain and reclusiveness are textbook examples. The pills make you hungry and give you a capacity for consuming sugar/sweets that is remarkable.

OMG, are you my old next-door neighbor? We saw it in the theatre at least 5 or 6 times (I was 8) and all the kids on my cul-de-sac would play together and yes, re-enact scenes and sing the songs. Aaah, lost youth.

Aaaah. I *adore* ONJ.

Yes, but Stockard Channing singing “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” is just so perfect!

Jack has been a nickname for John since forever. Kind of like how Peggy comes from Margaret...makes little sense but that’s the way it is!

Starred because Diana Muldaur!!

Whaaa? You didn’t know he was an actual person and singer? You’ve missed out. His hit “After the Lovin’” is a classic of 70's schmaltz. (“So I sang you to sleep...after the lovin’...”)

Um, maybe because she doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a pair of boots that will be worn once or twice before they are outgrown and gotten rid of?

Ohmygod, single best moment of the BH series so far: Kim Richards saying to Camille at the end of the Dinner Party From Hell: “Thank you so much for a lovely evening!” After that, I. Was. Dead.

“That part of it doesn’t phase me at all.”

Yes, it has historical value not just from it’s age, but there’s *Hollywood* film history as well. It’s been a location for quite a few films. One I can think of off the top of my head is the Lana Turner film MADAME X, which was shot several years before Hefner purchased it.

Oh, I *love* that movie! Especially Annette O’Toole’s character. (That would SO be me if I were female and a pageant type)

It’s called “white forelock” and yes, it’s genetic. More specifics I don’t recall. (10th grade Biology was, like, a million years ago.)

Raisa Gorbachev.

True. Or more precisely, Marilyn Quayle is what nightmares are made of.

Absolutely. I’ve always thought - even at the time - that Nancy was merely a Jackie wanna-be. A pale imitation.

Of course she is! Nancy Reagan hasn’t taken solid food since, like, 1965.

You can bet that Nancy’s is a couture gown (designed for just such an event) perhaps by Adolfo or de la Renta (too lazy too look it up) and likely paid for by an Annenberg.

Point taken, and agreed. But she did play Coral Browne’s granddaughter in “The Drowning Pool”. (And for that matter, Joanne Woodward’s daughter)
