Watched the Flaming Star blu ray last night...

Definitely one of his better films, but still think King Creole is his best!  I have many favorites including Follow That Dream and Kid Galahad.

Shag/Shad


 
I am still fascinated by the name of this character in the series.  Clearly credited as Shag, but the actors calling the character Shad.  I have something cool coming up with the artist/my friend Shag 
Imogene appeared in Rankin/Bass' The Enchanted World of Danny Kaye:  The Emperor's New Clothes in 1972, the same year Producer Sherwood Schwartz brought her back in a guest role on his Brady Bunch series.

Arthur Rankin, Jr's Birthday: July 19th

I was so busy watching Ruby on the 19th, Arthur Rankin, Jr's birthday passed right by me! I can't believe it has been 3 years since Denise and I went to Bermuda and I spoke at his memorial. I just flipped through The Arthur Rankin, Jr. Scrapbook: The Birth of Animagic, to remember Arthur and that amazing trip! The painting of Arthur's home here in Bermuda, was painted by Arthur.

Happy Birthday to Red Skelton!

Almost forgot to post Happy Birthday to Red Skelton yesterday! #redskelton #fathertime #birthday #animagic

It's About Time

I have been watching the complete series of IT'S ABOUT TIME.  Yes, it is a silly series, just like Gilligan's Island.  It only lasted one season 1966-67.  It is still a better show with more creativity, in my opinion, than anything that was nominated for an Emmy in 2017.
