Zero Mostel?????????

OH NOOO, it is not Mostel, I know who it is. I have his face in my mind and I cant think of his damn name. Could be because I worked all day and then had to get a tire patched (had a nail in it) and wait while I got my tires rotated, and had not eaten for more then 12 hours? There was no charge, but I know who it is, really I do. When I found how who it was so many years ago, I was surprised. I get half credit for knowing. Heh Heh Heh. Bernie, something....

Correct a mundo Sir

I was given the name Clayton Johnson Heermance, Jr. at birth. I was born in 1908 and only lived until I was 61.

I was an American radio actor/announcer who became one of the nation's first major television game show stars. I am best remembered for my work as the voice of Superman/Clark Kent in three media: radio, film and television.

Once I changed my name, I became a familiar voice on all three major radio networks by 1940. I was heard as Terry and the Pirates not to mention announcing for a number of radio soap operas—including The Guiding Light and The Goldbergs, which was actually a serial comedy with dramatic overtones.


I got my first helping of game shows when I co-hosted ABC's (the former NBC Blue network) Break the Bank.
I went on to host the television versions of Beat The Clock for eleven years (1950–61)
I also hosted To Tell The Truth in 1956, and became equally, if not more, familiar as the host.
WHAT WAS MY NAME?

Bud Collyer

HAPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE FRYday! I was too little to remember anyone in the Untouchables. I DO remember, my father was doing a good job of baby sitting me (not) and he was watching the Untouchables. I saw two men holding this other dude on the ground, pretending to force his mouth open and pour liquor down his throat. I started screaming. Back then, I was around, 7 or 8, never knew it was acting. Of course, no one knew why I was screaming, he left the damn show on. Now stuff like that peps me up. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. He also baby sat for my sister and I, watching TV and my sister was around 2, she fell off the couch, hit her head on the corner of the table and had to get stitches. After that, my father never watched us. ha ha ha ha ha Ha.

Vee, I wish you a very BLESSED EASTER!!!!!!

SAN FRANCISCO — Artist Thomas Kinkade once said that he had something in common with Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell: He wanted to make people happy.

And he won success with brushwork paintings that focused on idyllic landscapes, cottages and churches – highly popular works that became big sellers for dealers across the United States.

The self-described "Painter of Light," who died Friday at age 54, produced sentimental scenes of country gardens and pastoral landscapes in dewy morning light that were beloved by many but criticized by the art establishment.

Kinkade died at his home in Los Gatos in the San Francisco Bay Area of what appeared to be natural causes, said family spokesman David Satterfield

. Broadcasting legend Mike Wallace has died, CBS News announced on Sunday.

He was 93. Host Charles Osgood broke the news on "CBS News Sunday Morning." The network did not announce when or where he died.

Wallace was one of the original hosts and correspondents of "60 Minutes." He was a trailblazer, known for confronting his subjects and originating the newsmagazine format. His style became standard for television news.

I would advise you to go and buy at least one of his paintings from the galleries. The prices are not only going to sky rocket, but they will be worth boo coo bucks.
