*checks* You're right about Hoover. I don't know if there was anyone else who fit the question, though.

Ford was elected to the House of Representatives, and became Speaker of the House. If he hadn't been appointed VP, he would have remained 3rd in line of succession, and when Nixon resigned, would have been the highest person on the list and become President anyway. So, he had "an elective office."

Redd Foxx, a TV actor, died onset while rehearsing a new show. He fell over with a heart attack shortly after arguing with the director or something. (His friends thought it was another fake heart attack at first.) Zero Mostel was starting a new show, and died in his dressing room while awaiting his cue. So, he died during a show, but not onstage. Dick Shaun died onstage at a show. His one man shows were really weird. He entered the stage by emerging from a pile of bricks on the stage, under which he waited for the show. During the intermission, he would lie motionless on the stage. The crew were under strict instructions not to interfere no matter WHAT he did onstage. When he fell over and stayed motionless, one guy risked his job to check on him- and discovered a heart attack. They called for an ambulance, but it was too late. Personally, I think Dick Shaun would have chosen to die onstage during a show, making for the performance of a lifetime. It seems like something he'd appreciate. So, both died during a show. IIRC, both died of heart attacks. George takes the round!

CORRECT! Lots of stars as the game pieces. That Eileen Brennan sure gets around sometimes.... Oh, that explains my confusion. I conflated the 2 movies into 1 movie.

Tim Curry Lee Ving Martin Mull

Thought it was "The Apostle." Ok, let's see.....

Peter Falk Murder By Death [/b]Estelle Winwood MAGGIE SMITH ("Murder By Death" is another movie that's easy to link through, considering it's a little-known movie with lots if known stars.)

The movie that inspired "the Wacky Races." Tony Curtis played the role similar to Peter Perfect, in an all-white jumpsuit as the obvious good guy.

We discussed the late Redd Foxx before, I'm sure of it.

Forgot to answer this. "WILD WILD WEST." (BTW, the South signed the surrender, not in the town of Appomattox, but rather the town of Appomattox Courthouse. That town did itself also have a courthouse, but the surrender was not signed there. That's from "Lightning Never Strikes Twice(and other false facts.)")

Avalos was saying that any respectable scholar with an ounce of brains must acknowledge that there's no such thing as Divine Miracles, and the God of the Bible as understood by anyone is legendary and fictional, and the entire Bible should be tossed on the scrap-heap of history as not relevant to today. He lost me at "There's no such thing as Divine Miracles." I'm well aware there ARE such things as Divine Miracles. If I am correct, then something is producing the miracles- which he says is impossible, and that means someone exists he insists does not. IF they exist in accordance with a plain reading of the Bible, then by themselves they lend credence to the idea that the Bible is not simply a fictional book of legends, but rather an account of the divine as ordered by The Divine, and means far more than Avalos would imagine. Avalos would, no doubt, consider me deluded, in error and undereducated. As for people like Avalos, who so blithely dismiss any experience of the Divine, I'm not interested in impressing them. Everyone's free to take their pick- of either position or some other position.

True about Redd Foxx, but- AFAIK, neither ZM nor DS had any tattoos. BTW, this one thing isn't EXACTLY something they have in common with Redd Foxx, not EXACTLY. Then again, his claim to fame was more for television, and he was NOT known for live theater (not counting "stand-up comedy" as live theater in this case.)

That was called something like "the Apostle" or "the Missionary" or something like that, I think.

Yes, your turn.

Saying the melodies in AOS are "riveting" is overselling them. Most of them, IMHO, are pretty good, but not ESPECIALLY noteworthy, and certainly not "riveting". And there's at least one song that is dissonant, painful to listen to, and calling it "mediocre" would be generous.

Even JAL noticed that- for something supposedly explaining spiritual stuff- it has time for 2 hours of fluff but nowhere in the production is JESUS CHRIST himself invited to be a part of things. Who is the powerful one protecting the younger Christians? It's not JC, it's lcm himself- who is specifically representing ministers. As for myself, I'd like to point out that our side looks woefully underpowered- because we're poorly represented. Who fights devils directly? Obviously, ANGELS do- but none of them were invited to take part. So, when the human servants of evil show up- "the seed of the serpent"- that should have been the moment for the Christians to face off, but they were improperly matched against devils. So, a sub-category of Christians is sliced off- ministers- and assigned a task for which they were never designated to perform, facing off against humans- as well as acting as "elite Christians"- as if they were on a higher plateau than the rest of us. If you pause the video at just the right moment, you can actually see lcm with all the Christians PATTING HIM ON THE BACK at the same time. AND Jesus is never represented. The "Gathering Together"(Rapture) is depicted, and Jesus STILL is not mentioned- even though he's supposed to be critical and central to that moment. Although supposedly meant to communicate something, it misses the mark, fundamentally, many times. The entire doctrine of "seed of the serpent", obviously, is error- and is a twi, home-grown error so naturally it's central to the error-ridden tableau. The only thing worth any effort, IMHO, was the narrator reading the expository blocks on the devil and God Almighty- primarily because it's the one time in the entire production where the Bible takes center stage, however fleetingly. THAT could have been accomplished without the rest of the production and saved a LOT of time and error- but then lcm would not have had a chance to make things even MORE about himself.

If you like the original version of "The Producers", you'll have little trouble remembering the late Zero Mostel (who played Max Bialystock) and the late Dick Shawn (who played LSD/Lorenzo). They both appeared in "the Producers", obviously. They also had a background in live theater. After doing this movie, both returned to the stage eventually. What truly odd thing did these stage actors have in common? (And why might it remind you of something about Redd Foxx?)

(It's one of mine also, although I haven't sat down to listen to it anytime recently. )

I've got to check with Mrs Wolf, but obviously not right now. She's more of a Jeremy Irons fan than me.
