    James Mason has such a unique, distinctive voice, that it's difficult for him to conceal his identity. When I was 10 years old, I used to do impressions of Hollywood actors, as many kids did, of stars with distinctive voices such as Humphrey Bogard, Edward G. Robinson, and James Cagney. But I particularly enjoyed doing my James Mason impression, since other kids didn't quite capture his unique nasalesque quality as I did.

    Merv Griffin is of course famous for not only talk shows, but creating and producing game shows. He also wrote music. It was reported that he wrote the music they play during Final Jeopardy and to this date he and his estate have collected $100 million on royalties. He was quoted as saying he wrote it in a couple of minutes.

      Although Merv Griffin was a wonderful talent and he was a terrific interviewer on his talk show with Arthur Treacher, his most enduring accomplishments were the creations of two of the longest-running game shows in history, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Those game shows and real estate investments gave him a net worth of about $1 billion.

      He's also rather famous for the phrase, "Oooooo! We'll be right back!" along with comparing suit jacket linings with Liberace and Yasser Arafat, a rather prominent derriere that he could not hide under his suit jacket, and working with Steven Spielberg to create a Close Encounters of the Third Kind-inspired special, where he was joined by the likes of Hal 9000, Orson Welles, and George Plimpton, that went way over budget.

    John Daly, James Mason and the panelists talked quite a bit about Sue Lyon without ever mentioning her name. All the accolades in the world don't amount to much without the name. Her publicist, if he saw the show, must have been spitting nails. I recall one publicist's mantra regarding his client's name was "say it twice and spell it right" or words to that effect. He didn't even mind if the publicity was somewhat negative, as long as the name got ink.
    I remember that Duke Snider at the height of his career agreed to do a magazine article about how playing baseball was basically work for him and not a fun job. Most of the sportswriters blasted him for his attitude. The author of the article apologized to Duke for the reaction being so bad. Duke wasn't upset at the author. "I got my ink," was his reply.

  • @robertmelson2130

    We talk about how things have changed since the time these shows aired. It's interesting to compare the controversy "Lolita" generated in 1962 versus the 1997 remake. I do believe that the 1997 version would not have been made but for the precedent set in 1962.

    • @jmccracken1963
      @jmccracken1963 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That remake (directed by Adrian Lyne) generated quite a bit of controversy when it was made - particularly in light of the passage of the many "Megan's Law" statutes in the mid-1990s. It took a couple of years from the time of the completion of filming before the film was finally shown to the public - first at a couple of European film festivals, then on Showtime, and then in a very limited theatrical run in "art houses" in the biggest American cities. (The distributor for that limited U.S. run was Samuel Goldwyn Productions; one can only imagine what "the old man" would have said were he still alive.)
      I remember reading a couple or three articles by John Petrakis in the Sunday CHICAGO TRIBUNE concerning the controversy over the making of the film - and its editing and release difficulties.

    • @Merrida100
      @Merrida100 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The original Lolita isn't graphic or anything. So much is inferred and implied or projected. Lots of stalls and delay tactics, tension --obviously. It's not bad. Not what I expected after the book.

    Sadly, Mason was wrong about Sue Lyon's career. After "Lolita", it basically dried up. Hers was a terrible life, starting, oddly enough, with that film itself. According to her friend Michelle Phillips (of "The Mamas and The Papas" fame), Sue had an affair with one of the film's producers. She was 14 and he was 32--pretty creepy. After 40 years of not having worked, she died in 2019, aged 73.

    Why on earth does Dorothy insist on that complicated mask that she has to tie into a bow behind her head? If anything, the "slip on glasses" like Arlene wears (especially with the poils) would be less intrusive to her hair style and be so easy to put right on, sliding over her eyes and never mussing her hair up or getting caught? She's quite vane so I'd think she'd prefer glasses rather than tussling with her hair behind her. Does anyone know why she did all of this? (She's out again, eh?)
