Notes Only

A few notes, no opinions today.

Rutherford B. Hayes is a hero in Paraguay.

In recent weeks, I saw three alive (in their 80’s) and hopefully, well actors, give fine performances on “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” “rees” (reruns) on MeTV.

They are Bruce Dern opposite Felicia Farr, the latter so alluring, in a so modest by today’s standards, two piece bathing suit and the also beautiful Jessica Walter.

Farr later married the great actor, Jack Lemmon. Walter is the widow of Ron Liebman, who stood out with Sally Field, in the great film, “Norma Rae.”

Dern has done so much great work and is the father of another fine actor, Laura Dern. Her mother, also in her 80’s is Diane Ladd.

Bruce Dern’s godfather was the “so ahead of his time” (I know I wrote no opinions, but that is virtual fact!) Adlai Stevenson II.

In the “Presents” episode referenced above Jessica Walter’s Aunt Adelaide is played by Patricia Collinge, a favorite of “The Master of Suspense.”
