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.

Hadn't even thought of that.
I mean, they weren't in the same scenes or anything.

you'd think they would have!
at this point though, it's too late for even two of them to work together again. :(

@ 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.

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