I was scared you were gonna announce another LP / FL death.

That being said, has anyone heard from RunRussellRun (or any of his aliases if he has new ones)? He hasn't been active for more than a month. As much as what divides us, something more important unites us.

A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

Willie Wood, Packers great and Hall of Fame DB, dies at 83


By BETH HARRIS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Willie Wood, the Hall of Fame defensive back who won five NFL championships with the Green Bay Packers under coach Vince Lombardi and made the first interception in Super Bowl history, died Monday. He was 83.

Wood died of natural causes in Washington, according to Robert Schmidt, his longtime friend and former teammate at Southern California. Wood had suffered from advanced dementia for several years.

After being undrafted out of Southern California, Wood sent postcards to several NFL teams seeking a tryout. The 5-foot-10, 190-pounder signed as a free agent with the Packers and played safety for them from 1960-71.

“The Packers saw his heart while the others saw his size,” Jim Hill, who played for the Packers from 1972-74 and now is sports director for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, told The Associated Press. “Vince had an eye like Joe Torre or Tom Lasorda. He could see talent where other people couldn’t.”

It is interesting looking at Kirk Douglas' career. He didn't make his first movie until he was 30*.
Movies like "Paths of Glory" (1957), "The Vikings" (1958), and "Spartacus" (1960) occurred in his early 40's.

* I forgot that the war might have got in the way as Kirk joined the Navy in 1941.

He was great in Paths of Glory.

Interesting bio item from one of the obits this week

‘Going Over the Line’

The only time that discipline nearly cracked was during the filming of “Lust for Life.” “I felt myself going over the line, into the skin of van Gogh,” he wrote. “Not only did I look like him, I was the same age he had been when he committed suicide.” The experience was so frightening, he added, that for a long time he was reluctant to watch the film.

“While we were shooting,” he said, “I wore heavy shoes like the ones van Gogh wore. I always kept one untied, so that I would feel unkempt, off balance, in danger of tripping. It was loose; it gave him — and me — a shuffling gait.”

Scary but sometimes almost necessary to get in character as an actor. I'' wager that many, many people today think of Van Gogh as Kirk Douglas.

1960s comedian Orson Bean, 91:

“Mr. Bean’s face comes wrapped with a sly grin, somewhat like the expression of a child when sneaking his hand into the cookie jar,” The New York Times noted in a review of his 1954 variety show, “The Blue Angel.” It said he showed “a quality of being likable even when his jokes fall flat.”


Interestingly, he went from Hollywood liberal to hard core right winger. Very interesting character.
