Can the adults please smoke? — Page 137

Beacon - I saw that Abe was there to see Sly Fox when Larry Storch became part of the cast - I couldn't believe ANY of them could be around!

Barney was one of my favorite shows.

Zola and Matt - not exactly sure what this is all about, but I don't think many here have acted like that. And if I have come across that way, it is not intentional at all.

But, I really just want to have some fun, so I'll leave you all to whatever it is that you'ld rather be doing. Have a good night.

Zola...

We share song lyrics all the time here to make us smile and remember things. It's not that the others don't know the song...it's that remembering the song brings back other memories, too.

Sorry. It's our way of having fun and we're tucked away here so as not to bother anyone. I'm sure we all can find messages on both the main and OT boards that we consider to be a wastes of bandwith.

We're just trying to have some quiet fun. That's all and we're not forcing anyone to join us...but you are welcome to stay if you want to go with the flow of what we do.

Boobs, you lasted longer than me. After Poni's story, I was off to sleepy land.

DGrant, I would have been just a fly on the wall, but you survived!

You all need to work on your stamina.

Biography for
Tuesday Weld

Birth name
Susan Ker Weld
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Height

Mini biography
Susan Ker Weld was born on Friday, August 27th 1943 in New York City. When her father, Lathrop Motley Weld, died three years later at the age of 49, the cute little girl, whose name by then had somehow been transmogrified into "Tuesday", took over the role of the family breadwinner: Tuesday became a successful child model, posing for advertisements and mail order catalogs. Her work and the burden of responsibility estranged her from her mother Aileen and her two elder siblings and catapulted the preteen girl into adulthood. Nine years old, she suffered a nervous breakdown, at ten she started heavy drinking. One year later, Tuesday began to have love affairs, and at the age of twelve she tried to commit suicide. In 1956 Tuesday Weld debuted in the low-budget exploitation movie "Rock, Rock, Rock" and decided to become an actress. After numerous TV appearances in New York she went to Hollywood in 1958 and was cast for "Rally Round the Flag, Boys", something of a breakthrough for her. Over the next years, Tuesday became Hollywood's queen of teen, playing chiefly precocious sex kittens. Her wild private life added to the entertainment of her fans. The critics acknowledged her talent, the directors approved of her professionalism, and in the late sixties Tuesday even managed to grow out of her child woman image and find more demanding roles - she had been sweet little sixteen for about sixteen years. However, Tuesday Weld didn't achieve first-magnitude stardom. Maybe she was just unlucky with her selection of jobs (she turned down "Lolita", "Bonnie and Clyde", "True Grit", "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" &&&), maybe her independence-loving mind made her instinctively shrink back from the restraints of superstardom. So Tuesday Weld kept on performing well in films which had either not much flair or not much success. From the mid-seventies on, she focused more and more on made-for-TV movies. Ironically, the best (Once Upon a Time in America) and the most successful film (Falling Down) that featured Tuesday Weld came only after her career was already petering out.

She was director Roman Polanski's first choice for the title role in "Rosemary's Baby" (196 because he thought her pure, American looks would contrast well with the film's dark undertones. The studio preferred Mia Farrow, however, who had become a star on the enormously popular soap opera "Peyton Place".

When asked by a reporter what drove her into seclusion in the 1970s, she answered, "I think it was a Buick."

Personal quotes
"I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused 'Bonnie and Clyde' because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of 'Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue' or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Beautiful, girlish blond actress whose tempestuous early years contrasted with her success as a child model. She'd already become a staple of gossip columnssuffering a nervous breakdown, alcoholism, and attempting suicide-by the time she reached high school! Little of this came through onscreen, at least in the early years of her career. On TV she was a persuasively unattainable Thalia Menninger on "Dobie Gillis" (1959-60), and a virginal, blue-eyed innocent in her first Hollywood movies. She also played against that image, most effectively in Pretty Poison (196, as a seductive high schooler who mesmerizes Anthony Perkins. Absent from the big screen for several years during the 1970s, Weld returned to the spotlight playing Diane Keaton's sister in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), for which she received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. Her appearances have been sporadic since then, including, most unexpectedly, the lead in a TV remake of the tear-stained soap opera Madame X (1981). In 1993 she turned up, considerably heavier, as Robert Duvall's emotionally dependent wife in Falling Down Formerly married to Dudley Moore, she later wed violinist Pinchas Zuckerman.

Speaking of racks. I had the life size poster of Raquel Welsh in animal skins in my room. Yowzer! And, yes I'm a nelly boy.

I had Farrah. She was next to the pullout poster from the Village People album on the wall. Yes, I was a nelly boy who sent mixed messages.

I needed to share this..especially after all that is going on on this board lately...

THE MAYONNAISE JAR AND COFFEE

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and
the coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Maybe even play another 18 holes of
golf. There's always time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really
matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand. One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.
