Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

Ah, a young Sam Beckett!

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

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.

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?

Charlie McCarthy

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

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

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

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

This why I still pay for my ILX subscription each month.

that good content

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

uh that is Los Angeles homicide detective Lt Columbo, not the nice old man Peter Falk who acted in The Princess Bride, FPing Hadrian

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

sorry pp I tried to help. See you in two weeks!

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

Is that Roger McGuinn in the weird shades besides Dylan?

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

Yes it's McGuinn

*Gunnn

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

i thought duvall

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

FPing Hadrian again

Good one.

I saw a bunch of these on the Sear Sound FB page the other day, Walter Sear with various famous musicians.

who would win in a fight? 1979 muhammad ali, or the rocky of Rocky II?

one thing i've noticed about Rocky - and i think i'm the first to ever make this observation - but he doesn't seem to be very good at blocking. in fact, it seems like the people who he fights manage to land clean, vicious hooks and uppercuts directly to his face and head dozens of times per fight.

leading with one's face until the other guy falls over is a key skill Rocky learned from Ali vs Foreman

Wow, good one

Get your boxing history straight. Ali never 'led with his face' against Foreman. It's true Ali didn't throw many punches for the first six rounds, but he protected himself very determinedly, both head and body. By not dancing, backpedaling or jabbing much, he did allow Foreman to get in close and pummel him, but he blocked as many of those blows as possible.

wow

Sometimes other people are not 100% earnest and serious in all of their posts. Sometimes they make offhand and silly points while posting quickly to massage boards.
Thank you for the history lesson on a fight I've watched more times than I care to count.

surely you meant “*posing* quickly *on* massage boards”?

^solid, archetypal post worthy of this great thread

I know he's super prominent already but this particular Alice Cooper connection has never come up on this thread prior to now and it was news to me!
