One of the greatest movies EVER made. That shower scene had the same effect on women in 1960 as JAWS did with summer beach goers 15 years later....STAY OUT OF THE WATER...LOL. Alfred Hitchcock...what a genius he was. Thanks Eddie. Keep them coming!!

Wow...that is sad. Not only the greatest comedienne of our time but possibly one of the greatest people as well. I live a stones throw from her hometown of Jamestown, NY and have yet to make the trip to see her museum among other things. Maybe it's time. Thanks for the article Eddie. Great topic. We all did love Lucy!

Very cool post Eddie. I did not know a lot of those although some were pretty easy to see who they were based on. An item of interest is Barney being based on Frankie Fontaine. Not only did Fontaine play a loveable drunk but he also had an incredible singing voice. One episode had Homer and some of his friends forming a band called The B-Sharps (story was semi-based on The Beatles)and we learn that Barney also has an incredible singing voice much in the same style as Fontaine. Very cool subject. Thanks a bunch!!

Great post Eddie. Wilt was awesome. I believe it was Adam Sandler who used to do his impression of the other guys on Wilt's team that night..."Hey Wilt...pass me the ball man...I'm open" Or the coach of the Knicks at halftime..."OK..who's covering Chamberlain??". Keep em' coming Eddie!!

Great article Eddie. I was so unaware that there were so many women who won Oscars for playing Ladies of the Evening. I can't believe Shirley Jones did. As you wrote...MRS. PARTRIDGE was a hooker!! Marion the Librarian gave new meaning to the Dewey Decimal System. And not one of those Partridge boys was named John either. Go figure. Best performance in my opinion was Charlize Theron in Monster. She is such a beautiful woman and to see the transformation into her character is like WOW! I remember being bummed out that Elisabeth Schue lost to Mira Sorvino. Mira is another one of my favorite actresses but Schue was phenomenal in Leaving Las Vegas. Anyway...keep them coming Eddie. I love your articles!!

Fantastic article Eddie. The pictures are AWESOME! They truly helped with the story so you could actually see how the Beatles hair progressed from Stuart through Ringo. I always believed that the Beatles hairstyle really was a HUGE part of their popularity back in the early 60's when they first started to become recognized. They seemed to defy what was then thought of as the "standard" and showed that change can be good. Even though I was just a mere "tot" back in the early 60's, I so much wanted a Beatles haircut in the worst way. It wasn't until the 70's that my parents opened their minds and eventually gave in to me. I still to this day try and brush it to the Beatles style but since so much of it has disappeared, it's not quite the same look...LOL!!
Great article Eddie. Keep em' coming. Whatever else you have on the Fab Four I would most definitely LOVE to read about. You do a great job! Keep up the great work!
