Edelman is not known to me, so I was assuming their biggest casting "get" was Carol Bagdasarian, the daughter of Chipmunks creator and vocalist Ross. Apparently she made a decent go of it as a 70s TV actress, with an appearance on Harry O and seemingly five different named roles on Mannix. Her biggest film parts seem to have been this Model T movie, a supporting role in the Chuck Norris vehicle The Octagon, and a major role in a forgotten 1980s sci-fi movie called The Aurora Encounter.

Edelman was Dorothy's ex-husband Stanley on The Golden Girls.

He also did a ton of TV from the '60s-'90s, in addition to films like The Odd Couple and The Way We Were.

Herb Edelman recently made an appearance on Character Actor Roll Call in the wake of his name brother Herb Vigran.

Louis Nye is one of those people who was reasonably famous to anyone born before 1970 or '75...and a blank to anyone born after.

OTM. He was one of those guys I only knew from talk or game shows featuring old school wits. It was on one of the former I saw him with Steve Allen answering the question “Do you shun the public?” and his response was “Well there was this one fellow who recognized me in a restaurant and came over and dropped his cigarette ash in my meal so I shunned him, but no, in general I don’t shun the public.” Little James Redd was sitting there in front of the Zenith thinking “dude, you are lucky at this stage to have a public.”

Prompted some discussion of Russell’s age last time it came up, sometime last year?

Ah yes, and this from Whiney:

They way they drew women on movie posters from like 1965 to 1989 is like America's hentai

Pollifax was Russell's last feature film. She did a TV movie the next year, and died in '76.

Some Kind of a Nut (1969)

I Am Fribbulus (Xax) (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 18:23 (four years ago)

good one! looks like a helluva film too.

think “Gypsy-Pixie” and misspelled. (We are a white family.) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 16 September 2021 02:22 (four years ago)

apparently the plot is that Dick Van Dyke can't shave, due to a... mosquito bite I think? and this raises hackles at his mild-mannered job or whatever, and is the prompt for what seems like possibly a very limp, toothless sendup of hippie-era culture classes and the Generation Gap and so on.

Thought that was going to be the smoking one for a minute, what was that called, Cold Turkey, maybe? Probably somewhere upthread in a broken link already.

Not the only religious satire Richard Pryor cameoed in that year that had an illustrated poster

Feel like I should mention the art from that second In God We Trust is part of the lobby card set, which is done in the same style.

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 27 December 2021 00:45 (four years ago)

was that Heartbeeps art used for the poster? have not seen that version. but i'd legit consider owning such a poster.
