'Tis fine, but not worth risking your health over, for Christsakes.

FDR had a whole wall of "photos" of him doing the decathlon.

Season four really proved they should have just left well enough alone.

I mean, I know you need your "heroes journey" and all, but for fucks sake, Hollywood just doesn't understand the…

Davis was a co-producer of Baby Jane and she and Aldritch lobbied hard for Crawford.
She pretty much debunked all the gossip of their not getting along *during* the filming.
Neither one was in high demand and both had profit payoff in their contracts, so they were professional in getting the film done and making it as…
