It seems Pauline was 20 when she became John's Stepmum. about 5 years younger than John, I believe.

Recently I've been watching old clips of What's My Line? (1950s-60s). Everything about the show (the mannerisms, overwhelming whiteness, etc.) seems somehow prehistoric, so it's interesting to look up the panelists and guests to see which are still alive (ie, Chubby Checker, Joan Collins).
― Sam Weller, Thursday, 13 January 2022 16:00 (four years ago)
And John Cale!
― Josefa, Thursday, 13 January 2022 16:25 (four years ago)
Whenever I watch any thing of that era I can’t stop obsessively looking up what became of everyone. xpost
― Alba, Thursday, 13 January 2022 16:26 (four years ago)
Actually John Cale was on I've Got a Secret I just remembered. The one with Betsy Palmer and Bess Myerson as panelists.

Wait, did you not watch the VU doc yet?
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 13 January 2022 16:37 (four years ago)
I did, that's where I saw the Cale appearance... it was just that when What's My Line? was mentioned I mixed up the two shows in my mind. Tbf they are very similar.

I still don't quite understand the whole Dorothy Kilgallen thing
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 13 January 2022 17:29 (four years ago)
Her death, or why she was on the show to begin with?
― Sam Weller, Thursday, 13 January 2022 18:30 (four years ago)
Is it because she didn't seem to have any footprint outside of this kind of show?
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 13 January 2022 20:36 (four years ago)
She was a syndicated entertainment columnist who later moved into some crime reporting and was an early skeptic of the Warren Report (supposedly why she died).
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 13 January 2022 20:58 (four years ago)
Specifically, Kilgallen was the last person to interview Jack Ruby. She claimed that she was going to break the JFK assassination "wide open" before turning up dead in her apartment due to a fatal combo of sleeping pills and alcohol.

That must have been after The Band played at Ruby's nightclub.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4-F6GaqnD8

very much alive, he posts on twitter all the time including new videos of himself playing various piano pieces
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 14 January 2022 20:36 (four years ago)
I dunno why it surprised me but somewhere in the back of my mind I just assumed he was gone
Will have to follow his Twitter

Pattie Boyd. Not that she’s very old; I just had it in my head that she’d died of cancer

the "personal life" section of yarwood's wikipedia is gloomy reading :(

i mean he was rubbish but i wish him no ill

From 2007, Yarwood lived alone in Weybridge, Surrey.[12]
:( :( :( :(
― mark s, Monday, 17 January 2022 17:48 (four years ago)
I didn't really have a lot of thoughts about whether he was alive or not, I was much too young to be aware of him as a cultural figure, and the film character far eclipsed the real person in my mind, but I was surprised to see Frank Serpico posting on twitter.

Still with us, 93. He just popped up in the film, "Seven Days From Noon" earlier... that's "Seven Days From Noon" from 1950!

Only 79, but I erroneously thought that Geneviève Bujold was no longer around.

Jasper johns gets me every time. I can’t shake the false notion that he died in like 1979.

Never knew he had a stepmother!

Neither did I. Nor did I know that his mother died when he was 14.
