a way to hide avatars?

I thought Raymond Masey (Massy?) played Gillespie.

According to IMDB Raymond Massey played Dr. Leonard Gillespie on Dr. Kildare (played by Richard Chamberlain). '61-66

Yeah, Phil. I could have gone to IMDB, I suppose, but I was enjoying the chit chat...and I'm chilling' with a nice cup of jo.

Somehow I got the day/night off and I'm just enjoying a lazy day.

OK, class... now don't make me go all "Academy" on your ass! LOL

Here is one entry of MANY listing Barrymore as Gillespie.

Rather than search IMDB for the character, try searching for the actor next time.

BTW, we're talking film here, not that cheap TV crap... but if we do, let's talk about Sam (Shalom) Jaffe in Ben Casey as Dr. David Zorba! What an effing brilliant actor. The opening for every segment (man, woman, birth, death, infinity) is Sam doing the VO. But he really shows his stuff in The Scarlet Empress (1934).

If you ever get a chance to see it, it is riveting. He turns in one of the best performances as a crazy person you'll ever see. Here's the full film:

You may notice the opening theme is pulled from Tchaikovsky's 4th Sym Op 36 #2 in F Minor: the "fate" symphony written for Mdm. von Meck, who later abandoned her substantial support for Peter Illyich when she discovered he was homosexual. But I digress...

Various section of all movements were bastardized for the film. All five of the arrangers/orchestrators/conductors were uncredited!

Class is dismissed. No class on Saturday night after 11pm. I have a gig. We meet again....

I do miss teaching at the U. sometimes. The master classes at CALARTS work as a temporary fix.

Back to Peter Pan. If you're near Catalina May 20 it will be well worth the effort to get there.

That's due to my 2 fingered typing technique.

It's all good- we got iguanas and dead doctors and ever-thang in this thread.

[MIDI Life Crisis]

As I recall the O/T was about my annoying avatar, not Dizzy Gillespie.

[Phil O]

Where's Monkey Man when you need him?

[MIDI Life Crisis]

I hope you didn't loose your head over it (so to speak).

[Phil O]

Yeah, she had me over for dinner.
