KISS ME DEADLY.
“Boomer?” She is 20 years older than Me! I was born in 1946. So that would make her born in 1926.
According to her biography, she competed in the 1946 Miss America pageant as Miss Illinois.
The last movie I saw her in was “I Can Only Imagine”, the story of Bart Millard of Mercy Me. She played his grandmother (Dennis Quaid played his abusive father). I was surprised but pleased to see her in such an explicitly Christian film.
Some Spillane paperback covers were porno in a manner of speaking.
Cloris could have played Barbara Stanwyck’s sister. They looked alike, both tough and direct in character. The big difference being Cloris was known for her kooky sense of humor. Barbara was usually The Boss.
Ed Asner must have fully retired. I didn’t hear a word from him during the NeverTrump Fever era. Good. Ed could have been as bad as Bobby deNiro when it came to insulting republicans.
Harry Belafonte is another angry Commie voice almost fully silent these days.
*Neigh*
(RIP)
She brought me a lot of enjoyment. May she rest in peace.
Surprised it took +20 comments to take note that Clovis Leachman was hot.
Agree totally.
All paperback covers were semi-porno till 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was murdered. The glorification of violence was blamed so.....
TV shows were blamed so they dumbed down to kiddie shows.
Pulp fiction replaced their bloody sexy covers with less blood and sex covers.
Theater Movies shown on TV were butchered to remove violent scenes.
Toy guns were blamed. They disappeared from toy stores.
But theater movies got a “Pass” as they said they would Police themselves with a joke of a ratings system. G.M.R.X.
So they re-shot scenes ADDING blood, guts violence and lots of sex to get the coveted “R” or “X” rating, then filmed the trailers to appeal to pre-teens.
Now with cable TV, violence has made a comeback on TV. and pulp fiction and “adult” comic books glorify sex and violence on their covers.
Loved Raising Hope. And Cloris ❣
Ed Asner is in the Karate Kid series remake Cobra Kai.
RIP Nurse Diesel.
Jan Clayton played the original mother in Lassie...Ellen Miller. Her son was Jeff, played by Tommy Rettig. That’s the one we used to watch as kids.
She was on Gunsmoke a couple times.... Always liked her....
R.I.P.
This is not a bad thing.
