It has been a regular I SPY marathon around here since hearing of Robert Culp's passing. It has always been one of my favorite shows...I always enjoyed the "Jazzy dialogue" between Culp and Cosby.

ROBERT CULP R.I.P.

We were sorry to hear of Robert Culp's passing at age 79 today! One of my favorite actors. I had the pleasure of working on the I SPY Soundtrack CD with my late friend Earle Hagen and Culp helped with that as well. He will be missed!

I picked up THE BLIND SIDE today! I saw the film in the theater with Dorota on Valentine's day and loved it! I was sorry to hear about Sandra's soon to be x-husband and the Tattoo lady last week! My friend Caroline Perzan was the buyer/set decorator for the film!

Setting the records straight on Tallulah Bankhead's last film RANKIN/BASS' THE DAYDREAMER (1966)

Valerie Harper (TV's RHODA) is playing Tallulah Bankhead in a new play called LOOPED and getting rave reviews for portraying Hollywood's original bad girl. Bankhead is said to have had many bisexual affairs, smoked 100 cigarettes a day and drank bourbon and gin like water. The play is said to be based on a 1965 looping session for what is believed to be her last film 'Die, Die, my darling.' For this film, it took her 8 hours to loop a single line, due to her intoxicated state. I felt I should set the records straight. Bankhead's last looping session was for her last film RANKIN/BASS' THE DAYDREAMER (1966).

VARIETY wrote "Skillful, inventive and charming....It should particularly appeal to the pre-teen audience but with a long list of well-known names voicing the fairy-tale characters, pic should also get good play from the older generations as well. Jules Bass' direction has balanced the live action sequences well with those of ANIMAGIC."
