There are some good marriages in the entertainment business.
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon,Amy Maddigan and Ed Harris to name 2, or who knows,I am not a follower of the tabloids.

yeah Victor :P I think that is just awesome

Me too!! Doesn't happen to much in Hollywood that's for sure!

My kids asked me why we were not getting out of the car the other day when we went to the store. I had to hear the whole song!!

Thats how kids learn that some things are more important than others.

what song was it?

Forgot! But I do that all the time. I want them to learn Bohemian Rhapsody so I can video all of us singing it in the car.

Thats a great one.Queen right?

How about David Bowie ?

Yes, Queen. I like Bowie too!

What was the Bowie song about "the planet earth is blue" "can you hear us Mister Tom?"
It was the alst album I liked.

Ground control to Major Tom...

yes! yes! yes ! thats it.I used to ne able to sing along to the wole thing. Wasnt it part of a movie he made "The manWho Fell from Space"?

And now I'm singing it...

Singer Tony Martin died. Was 98!! Lucky enough to be married to Cyd Charisse.

Cyd Charisse was tall for a dancer, and was forced by producers/directors/leading men to wear flats (shoes that were not high heels), in order to look height-appropriate.

As many people know, this is not an elegant look, and she was annoyed by it (but probably more comfortable).

Especially with Fred Astaire, if memory is correct.

don't worry JoAnn.. Randy makes up his own words to songs.. LOL.. Mister Tom it is!!!

;)

Yes, she was very tall. I think Gene Kelly had her wear flats too.

Ahhhhhh the men!! never wanted to look short.
Not in the dancing catagory but Humphry Bogart was not as tall as Lauren Bacall and I heard
Allan Ladd had to stand on a box to kiss a girl.
Real women dont bother about those issues now days.

Men do seem to be getting shorter in this country

Really???

size doeant matter.

"Interestingly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Europeans in North America were far taller than those in Europe and were the tallest in the world. The original indigenous population of the Plains Native Americans was also among the tallest populations of the world at the time. Several nations, including many nations in Europe, have now surpassed the US, particularly the Netherlands, and Scandinavian nations. "

Info from Disabled World

the men's average is now 5'10" and I think not too long ago it was 6'...I need to find that info, read it somewhere


I never dated anyone shorter than 5'10" I find short guys particularly annoying

Avg height was never 6'.

(Didn't mean to *annoy* you with that link, Jen. ^_^ )

stats from cdc in 1 article in men's health

"Most of the average height gains came during the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, men in their 40s were slightly taller than men in their 30s and 20s in 2002"


If 40 year olds were TALLER than men in their 20's or 30's in 2002, that means the older generations was taller

Hee hee...are you 5'9"???

Not even - 5' 7" on a tall day.

Look at the breakdown of male height in that article. Contradicts what you posted. Teens were shorter in the 60's.

So who do you believe? all the stats contradict each other

I believe I am really 6' 5".

LOL

hehehe... yeah me too!!!!

Saw Jurassic Park for the first time last night. So-so. Again, I was expecting more.

Special effects are what brings people into moveis these days I guess.

My comment to my (late) father, so many years ago, when we watched that film simultaneously on HBO in separate locations:

"I was underwhelmed."

you totally needed to see JP in the theater when it came out. No one had seen effects like that before. Seeing it after that doesn't totally work. Except as a warning when they talk about cloning dinos :P

Anyone else using Pandora for music? I really like it.
