ANOTHER WEEK AND MORE WE HAVE LOST 

By -

      I debate regularly if I should write this portion of my blog about personalities we have lost in a weeks time which seems to be growing every day. Then I believe not everyone has heard and these personalities have left a valuable mark on our life and should not be forgotten.


     There was :
LESLEY GORE which I just found out at the time of this writing. At 16 she had her fist hit " It's My Party" with other great ones to follow including " Judy's Turn to Cry" and " You Don't Owe Me". She was a class act and she was a true pleasure when I met her in 2012.

     VAL FITCH who won the Nobel Prize explaining why the collision of matter and anti matter have not destroyed the whole existence we live in.



   JERRY TARKANIAN who led the University of Las Vegas to a National Title in 1990 and was a leading force in College Basketball for many years with a record of 509-105.


    BOB SIMON the CBS Correspondent who won 27 Emmys and was a regular on TVs 60 minutes who we lost tragically in an auto accident.and considered by many as one of the best ever.

     There was French actor LOUIS JOURDAN who graced the movie screen with a flare and a voice that was so recognizable. He starred in movies such as GIGI and gained a whole new following as the villain in James Bond OCTOPUSSY.
There were others that I have not mentioned but all will be lost by admirers and especially friends and family. May they all rest in Peace.

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach...

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th...
