    Brian Keith was just perfect for that role, hands down! Am happy Glenn Ford turned it down!😀
    Kathy, to say, you look amazing, would be an understatement!
    Loved you as, Cissy, and couldn't imagine any other actress playing that role either ❣️😊

    Wow, Kathy Garver sure stays active and has a lot of energy. She is a class act and had a pearl of wisdom about the importance of NEVER doing drugs, not even marijuana. Don’t even try them once. The downfall of many. She also is right about getting to the root cause of any addiction. Well wishes to Johnny Whitaker. 🙏 God Bless you Kathy Garver! ❤️🙏

    I can say that when I met Charlton Heston in person when I was 11 years old. He was the nicest, most polite person I had ever met. I was with my parents on top of a hotel in Las Vegas and we were people watching. There was a mini-golf up on the roof and Mr. Heston was there playing with his family. Like a thoughtless kid. I ran up to him and interrupted him with his family to talk to him. He stopped, talked with me. This was in the early 1970s and I had watched planet of the apes and the omega man and told him how much I liked them. What a great guy and a wonderful memory.
