A late encounter between Bela Lugosi and David Copley
Karloff? Sidekick? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jan/0…— January 3, 2013 9:58 a.m.
Dig a hole: Cliff Osmond
One of my guilty pleasures is "Sweet Sugar", a 1972 women-in-prison film that is so bad it's good... and the alluring Phyllis Davis as Sugar is sooo soft on the eyes! Cliff Osmond played a prison guard in the film - and that's how I'll always remember him. The NSFW movie trailer: http://youtu.be/Y2ARw7agTiQ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jan/0…— January 3, 2013 9:55 a.m.

Dig a hole: Charles Durning
Jon Favreau created, produced, and starred in the IFC talk show "Dinner For Five". Jon invites four different actors/actresses/industry insiders to dinner and everything is filmed and edited later. How Charles Durning ended up with Dom DeLuise (with cap), Charles Nelson Reilly (without toupee), and Burt Reynolds (with bad toupee) is beyond me. And surprise, surprise - Durning outshines them all by not saying much. Feel free to skip ahead to 6:22 to hear Durning talk about "Tootsie", 11:45 about his WWII experiences related by Burt (oy!), and 17:29 about his early life (in which he brings down the house over parfaits). RIP Chuck - a great body of work. You'll be missed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2JbpeA2d6I— December 26, 2012 5:03 a.m.
Dig a hole: Jack Klugman
Without a doubt, my favorite Klugman appearance (outside of "Match Game" and "Odd Couple") was the "Twilight Zone" episode "A Game Of Pool" (featuring in his very first dramatic role Jonathan Winters): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrd-0673SOI Klugman wrote a book entitled "Tony and Me: A Story of Friendship" in 2005 shortly after Randall's death. It also enclosed a DVD that had about eight minutes of "Odd Couple" outtakes beautifully set up by Klugman himself. Someone posted it on YouTube and I offer it as a tribute to Jack. RIP Oscar and Quincy. You'll be missed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHLr3kmXT04— December 26, 2012 4:45 a.m.
