How did we all forget to mention Bob Crane's hobby?

And kine do indeed produce a shit load.

And I think I read that a math algorithm she developed eventually led to cell phones.  Or something.

I am confused now, I tell you.

If you like Simon Callow, try this:

He's Prince Vegemin.

He is in Texas, even if he is Jewish.

Half the point of drugs and alcohol is to forget the collected works of people like O'Reilly.

No, that's what I meant—he sounded depressed throughout all three books, from page 1, volume 1, to volume 3, the end.

I agree.
He was also mostly responsible for what became the Catholic Church, and look how well that's turned out.

Gave it some thought.  The novel is very short, maybe 150 pages or so.
If all the "ghost writer" did was change, say, "Arkadin:  I want you to come with me." to "Mr. Arkadin said, 'I want you to come with me.'", then I don't believe anyone other than Welles should get real credit for writing Mr. Arkadin, script or…

I should have finished reading the thread before I posted about this.
I had a first ed of Mr. Arkadin, and it had Welles as the one and only author.

Orson Welles wrote Mr. Arkadin, which I used to have.  He made a movie of it as well.

His books aren't at all bad; I've read a few and enjoyed them, mostly, though they're mostly trifles.

Brad Pitt did Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy—not recommended.  He had trouble with some of the words, and his delivery was unusually flat, like he was depressed by the ending and couldn't shake it off.

Jimmy Carter, okay, but let's not forget the great Newt Gingrich and his foray into novel writing.
Also William F. Buckley, and on and on.
Gingrich's book was so bad that a colleague and I read excerpts aloud and laughed ourselves silly.  I still can't take the word "athwart" seriously.
William Safire wrote great grammar…

Yes, that's what I've read, too, in a Shatner interview I believe.
Speaking of hobbies, Shatner used to show horses, American Saddlebreds or something similar.

"its cover photo featured Tucker with his head in the lap of his wife and L.A. Law co-star Jill Eikenberry, in case potential readers were insufficiently jealous"

The pages were cut in Gatsby's books.

Not Jane Seymour.  She ain't got 'em.  You are thinking of another actress.

I just finished rereading Hamilton's mythology book last night.  I have to say I'd never have guessed that it would come up in conversation so soon, or even ever.
