Well, it was certainly a good thing for some USC students. Things sure were a lot more boring when I attended that institution!

Yeah, that Clara Bow-football team orgy rumor has been dispelled over the years as never having happened. And yet, who really knows?

That football team business is one of the greatest urban legends. You can just see one old maid whispering it to another.

After all, I am Honest Pa Stark. There are many urban legends about celebrities, a couple of the most famous being Richard Gere with the gerbels, Reggie Jackson in an elevator with his dog, and Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors being married.

Don't know the story about Powers eating habits.

This story is two women were visting New York were in an elevator in their hotel, and a large black man with a large white dog got in. He ordered, "Sit Whitey!" and the two frightened women sat on the floor of the elevator. The man was Reggie Jackson. That story has been floating around for years. Jan Harold Brunvandt has written several books on urban legends including THE CHOAKING DOBEREMAN, THE MEXICAN PET, and THE VANISHING HITCHIKER, and in one of his books he looked into this story, and phoned Jackson's publicist about it, and the response was a groan. He has been asked that many times. Another sourse of urban legends is Snopes.com.

Watched the first chapter of The Desert Hawk tonight, and I think I'm going to like it a lot. No, it's not a particularly original story, even by serial standards, but the different setting, and particularly good execution, at least so far, should be a lot of fun.

I've got to agree though. The circulating print is awfully splicy, especially during the first three minutes of the chapter or so. I hope it clears up as things go.

THE DESERT HAWK is near the end of the pre-Katzman era, so it is pretty good. Somethig different for sure.

Here are two more great urban legends concerning John Barrymore. This one has not been either proved or disproved, but John Barrymore helped John Carradine with his screen test, and instructed Carradine to come through a door and act like he just had the best feast of his life. Carradine did it licking his chops, wiping his face with his kerchief, patting his stomach. Barrymore than told him they would screen it the next day, and he invited some studio heads to also attend. After Carradine's footage, Barrymore also came through the door, zipping his pants, and smiling and winking.

The other story is one of the most famous stories in Hollywood. When John Barrymore died, director Raoul Walsh borrowed his body from the mortuary and took it over to Errol Flynn's house, and left it in a chair. I looked up several internet sources on this story, and none of them said it wasn't true, but everyone named a different mortuary.

It's an urban legend. Walsh wouldn't have thought that was funny. He was a sentimental Irishman, and probably pretty broken up by his pal's death.

I'm only allowed one post a day on that board so that, as Grood explained, my posts are now like a serial.
Judging from the disappearance of today's post, looks like you've been totally given the boot!!

Eric's actually micromanaging at this time of day? That's odd. Usually the deleting goes on under cover of darkness.
