She looks lovely, sings a very pretty song, and gets buried in soap suds, as does most of the cast. As is revealed in one of the novellas that makes up the book LIVER, author Will Self does not like the movie. He probably doesn't like Claudine Longet either . . .Matt Pattonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-89644557672175723482012-11-19T11:57:24.423-08:002012-11-19T11:57:24.423-08:00I'm sorry to go off-topic, but the four "...I'm sorry to go off-topic, but the four "Almost Perfect" episodes on YouTube got me hooked.<br /><br />Will the remaining 30 ever see the light of day?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-26489262075362376272012-11-19T09:29:47.857-08:002012-11-19T09:29:47.857-08:00Back in the day LA radio personalities Lohman &...Back in the day LA radio personalities Lohman & Barkley had a late Saturday nite tv show.

It helps explain what the 60's experience was for those that grew up middle class outside of a major city.<br /><br />It wasn't all drugs and protests. Radio/music and television were the main activities and measuring sticks of most generations from the 60's on.<br /><br />I'm sure the rural experience was different and I'm waiting for Tom Wopat (Dukes of Hazzard) to write his 60's history about growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. <br /><br />(Ok I had to Google "Celebrities who grew up on a farm" to find a person who actually grew up in the 60's on a farm)Jerry Krullnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-61164552276206703232012-11-19T07:04:33.682-08:002012-11-19T07:04:33.682-08:00I would recomend Ken's book as a Christmas/Cha...I would recomend Ken's book as a Christmas/Chanukka gift.Mike Barerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447874605833321732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-40272615711007638922012-11-19T07:02:26.871-08:002012-11-19T07:02:26.871-08:00I also had a crush on Claudine Longet.
