Pocohontas
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
As a lifelong fan of Disney animation, it’s very unlikely that I’d be apt to pass up an autograph and photo op with one of the talented performers who lent their voices to one of the characters in any of the animated classic features. Especially when it’s a part as significant as the title role. And it doesn’t hurt that the person in question – in this case Irene Bedard who was the voice of Pocohontas in the film of that name – was quite a hottie. Read the rest of this entry »
Ok, that wasn’t nice. But really that’s what their roles were in the Oscar winning film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. I’m referring to the characters Candy and Rose, the two party girls who sneak into the mental institution in the film. This film being an Oscar winner and all, naturally I’d have an interest in anyone who appeared in it. The actresses behind the bodies were Marya Small (now going by the name Mews Small) as Candy, and Louisa Moritz as Rose.

I never watched Starsky & Hutch when it originally aired during the last half of the 1970s decade. But in the early half of the first decade of the 2000s, I picked up the first couple of seasons on DVD and quite enjoyed it.

I also just plain liked it. But at some point, I decided not to pursue collecting the whole series and eventually sold the DVDs I had after their initial viewing. 
Not being much a comic book fan, I have never seen the 1994 film version of The Fantastic Four. In fact, almost no one had. It was originally created simply to secure the rights of the series and was apparently (unbeknownst to director Roger Corman and the cast) never intended to be released. Consequently, I was not much interested in meeting or getting autographs from the three principle actors who were present at The Hollywood Show on April 2, 2011. My friend Bob, however, was. He was hoping to obtain a signed photo of the gang to put on the walls of his high school (as he often does with actors with whom the students might relate). They were all kind enough to agree, and then also got together to pose for a picture with him. In a similar fashion that I did with the
