Liz Taylor, innit?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Monday, 21 September 2020 21:19 (five years ago)

The story behind that photo is that Liz really wanted to meet Bowie, so they arranged some kind of hotel meetup. And he made her wait for HOURS and HOURS... maybe just trying to out-diva the diva, but this photo looks like he was deep in the coke years, so that's another possibility.

those are both some really fine linen clothes. can you imagine the little silken rustling they produced when they pressed against each other??

I don't know if the people make me happy, but the strange resonance between their outfits does

that is a cute photo that makes me happy but c'mon

@oneposter (⛰️) (sic), Thursday, 12 November 2020 05:52 (five years ago)

Hadn't even thought of that.

I mean, they weren't in the same scenes or anything.

Those three definitely never worked together on a film.

Madchen, Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:58 (five years ago)

you'd think they would have!

at this point though, it's too late for even two of them to work together again. :(

Who's the kid with Andre the Giant?

Tuomas, Thursday, 12 November 2020 20:49 (five years ago)

Charlie McCarthy

@oneposter (⛰️) (sic), Thursday, 12 November 2020 20:51 (five years ago)

Oh, ok, never heard of him. A child star?

Tuomas, Thursday, 12 November 2020 20:56 (five years ago)

@ KM - George Lucas produced Labyrinth starring David Bowie and with puppets by Jim Henson

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 12 November 2020 20:57 (five years ago)

kid with Andre the Giant is US sitcom star Fred Savage; the photo is presumably from the set or promotional campaign of The Princess Bride, which features both actors although not in the same scenes.

Charlie McCarthy was a popular ventriloquist dummy circa the 1940s

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 12 November 2020 20:58 (five years ago)

Sadly no photos but I’m sure you can picture it, even if the story has been somewhat embellished in the telling.

@oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:01 (five years ago)

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:11 (five years ago)

Ah yeah, I've seen The Princess Bride a couple of times, but I forgot about the kid in it.

that good content

Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Friday, 13 November 2020 03:23 (five years ago)

tbc I still 100% endorse Tuomas asking who these various foreign randos are, even when it's funny to give misinformation in response

also, FPing pp unless he can post the same photo with Peter Falk perched on Andre's knee

@oneposter (⛰️) (sic), Friday, 13 November 2020 08:06 (five years ago)

And why is there a photo of Albert Steptoe in the background?

Tuomas: The Butcher of Brentwood, Elston Gunn, Olive Oyl

early-Woolf semantic prosody (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 20 November 2020 21:08 (five years ago)

Is that Roger McGuinn in the weird shades besides Dylan?

Change Display Name: (stevie), Friday, 20 November 2020 21:18 (five years ago)

Almost certainly. This is the Rolling Thunder Revue, of which McGuinn was part.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Friday, 20 November 2020 21:22 (five years ago)

Yes it's McGuinn

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 21 November 2020 00:15 (five years ago)

I can't tell if that Joan Baez or Shelly Duvall.

Andy the Grasshopper, Saturday, 21 November 2020 00:23 (five years ago)

i thought duvall

the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 21 November 2020 00:45 (five years ago)

i think a different altman actress... cos that looks like ronee blakley to me (plus she was a member of the rolling thunder revue)
