;_; I suppose she couldn't live forever.

rip

also confession i automatically think “Gina Lolajupiter” bc of the Jetsons

Gina Loadabricks for me (Flintstones)

Also Gina Lollobrickida on The Flintstones--must have been pretty iconic at the time.

There you go...Had to look up the spelling.

Doesn’t it half to rhyme with
“Your food I diggida”?

Took it from this piece, which is how I remember hearing it too:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-10-01/flintstones-rock-on-at-50/2281058

(Have) Anyway, RIP. Particularly liked her in Fanfan la tulipe with Gérard Philipe.

Good article, but I couldn’t quite tell, did she do the voice of that character?

I remember loadabricks and I confired (after posting) here
https://flintstones.fandom.com/wiki/Gina_Loadabricks

Feel like, despite the iconic nature of that character, there is a lack of parallelism in the piece clemenza linked. Maybe they should have mentioned Hoagy Carmichael or Jimmy O’Neill instead, if not the Bewitched-related episode, “Samantha,” which I have no recollection of.

anyway - sorry for starting that dumb derail - hail to the Queen

I want to try to check that, Nick (short of, you know, buying a Flintstones box set)--my memory of that is so clear, and for the joke (such as it was) to work, it has to end in a vowel.

Looked through her filmography, and Beat the Devil is all that I've seen, and ages ago at that. But immensely famous she was.

Good photographer too, what I've seen of her assignment or street scene stuff anyway. I think she did some hokey kids'n'animals photocollage in her later years, but fair dos.

Interesting, but the maid wasn't supposed to be the actress.

Aw. Farewell Renée Geyer, Aus soul legend.

Most importantly for me, director of Blood On Satan's Claw.

Also I had never twigged Daisy was his daughter.

Ha! I thought I was the only person who remembered this.

The Flintstones was the first thing my husband mentioned when the news came through. In the same ballpark, this is where my mind went first:

So I am still the only Fanfan la Tulipe stan? What about that other one about the card game (War?) in Sicily? Directed by Duvivier?

Or the other guy, Dassin.

Not War, The Law.

Most importantly for me, director of Blood On Satan's Claw.

Indeed. Rest In Peace and infinite thanks for that weird little masterpiece!

(xp) Not currently showing on MUBI USA :(

Dassin = Never on Sunday

Yes, but he also did this one.

His wife is in it too.

Not quite Sicily, Apulia.

Gonna turn this thread into my own little memory palace before the day is through.

just watched Blood on Satan's Claw back in October, it has some cheezy elements but is overall effectively creepy

The Law is awesome

Also Gina Lollobrickida on _The Flintstones_--must have been pretty iconic at the time.

One of my very favourite records, despite sounding very 80s.
