true fact: when I saw Robin Williams' standup show at the Metropolitan Opera House, his opening joke was "Welcome to Adnan Khashoggi's living room!" #OldJokesInTranslation

actress glenne headly, who was in tons of stuff but who i mainly remember from dirty rotten scoundrels

― na (NA), Friday, 9 June 2017 15:17 (nine years ago)

For some reason despite her lengthy career I remember her most prominently from Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy.

i LOVED her! and i always thought she looked like a somewhat sad or wistful susan sarandon.

― nomar, Friday, 9 June 2017 16:10 (nine years ago)

she played Bill Paxton's wife in "The Circle" :(

― nomar, Friday, 9 June 2017 16:11 (nine years ago)

I saw her on the stage in Shaw's Arms and the Man, w/ Kevin Kline and Raul Julia, directed by her then-spouse Malkovich.

She's in a coule good Alan Rudolph films, esp Mortal Thoughts, where she and Demi Moore plot to kill Bruce Willis.

― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 June 2017 18:11 (nine years ago)

also Lonesome Dove!

― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 June 2017 18:13 (nine years ago)

her lonesome dove character was pretty damned bleak even by the standards of that series.

― nomar, Friday, 9 June 2017 20:31 (nine years ago)

Very sorry to hear about Headly. Although it wasn't a great movie, I remember being really pleased to see her as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's mother in Don Jon a few years ago, which was the first time I'd seen her in anything in a long while.

Answering his final bat signal.

Now is as good a time as any to post the great pilot (and only episode) of Lookwell, the Conan O'Brien/Robert Smigel-created early 90s series starring West.

If 10 years' worth of family slides weren't currently being looked for, I could post a photo of me in my Bat Cape circa 1966.

In 1983, Adam West wrote a short op-ed about video games. In 2017, I'm tearing up reading it. Sleep easy, Mr. West. And thank you. pic.twitter.com/1J1ouqHDRe
