Doghouse6 plus I would bet you know where that l'il scene was filmed $$$$$ Fist time I saw the film, I thought it might be Harold Lloyd's "Greenacres" estate, but it turns out to have been built by a banker in the '20s, bought by Hearst for Marion Davies in the '40s, enjoyed by JFK and Jackie on their honeymoon in the '50s, served as an exterior location for The Godfather (as the home of John Marley, playing the unfortunate producer with the even more unfortunate horse), and is known by the nondescript name, Beverly House. |

Which would be about the only way you or I could probably get it. Trouble is, if we told someone we wanted to "fence" a house, we'd likely be misunderstood. |

I'm thinking that with your great looks (as evidenced by your avatar), Nalkarj and Doghouse6 's encyclopedic knowledge of Hollywood trivia and my ... ummmmmmmmmmmmm .... lessee .. ok ... my ability to make  , we could work some kind of a racket scam game to get rubes players to bet that said Doghouse6 won't know some bit of "who made what film where type trivia" ... we'd make enough to buy THREE houses even better than the Beverly House in no time. What say you ... are you in ? If it doesn't pan out, we can always call Haney. |

Why, gaw-leeee, Mr. BATouttaheck, I think that’s a swell idea! ‘Course we’ll be upstandin’, law-abidin’ citizens, so that the rubes players can’t go squealin’ to the cops rat us out jealously make up stories ‘bout us afterwards and all that. Ahh, livin’ in the lap of luxury in Beverly Hills! I can call on some friends of mine, the Clampetts, while we’re there! |

Lee Montgomery--wasnt he also in the "Bobby" segment of Dead of Night? Creepy 1977 tv movie (I think Stephen King's "Cat From Hell" was inspired by it).
Another one is Gillian Hills. There was a recent article about her--she also retired in the mid 70s and lives in New York I think.
She appeared in a few notable 60s movies, and was the girl with the popsicle in A Clockwork Orange.

I like Gayle Hunnicutt a great deal, but I’m surprised that she’s from Texas too. (The late John Hillerman, whose Transatlantic accent tended more towards English as well, was also Texan.) She was probably the screen’s best Irene Adler in the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes adaptation of “A Scandal in Bohemia.” She was very scary coming on to Roddy McDowall in The Legend of Hell House. I assumed Hillerman was British too. Some actors I can accept in historical British movies without seeing them as alien--Vincent Price, Orson Welles, Burgess Meredith... for some reason the accent or voice doesn't jar me. Pamela was lovely and I wish she'd lasted longer in films. Another Sixties actress who was hot for a while when she was very young, then moved on: Jill Haworth. |

She is best remembered as the tragic Karen in EXODUS, and was romantically linked to Sal Mineo IRL. I remember seeing a photo of her distraught at his funeral.

I remember Jill Haworth well. She did some American television, too, most memorably an episode of The Outer Limits, The Sixth Finger, in which she gave a touching, sensitive performance as a simple yet romantic girl in a British coal mining town. Jill had it all, and if she'd pushed a bit harder she might have made it as a star, but I don't think that was her goal. She was the original Sally Bowles in the Broadway production of Cabaret. I was particularly saddened reading about her death since I had just recently "rediscovered" her thanks to TV reruns of that episode. My sense of her was that she was a fine working actress and that the limelight wasn't something she missed so much as (perhaps) she was indifferent to it. Another British actress who didn't fulfill her potential as a star, Susan George, from a later period. Her range may have been narrow but she worked well within in, and she certainly had the looks.
My sense is that for British and European actresses big time stardom as we define it in the States isn't so eagerly sought after as it is here. Even when they're lovely as can be they'll often return to the stage for long periods, or settle down and marry, thus sacrificing their "best years" for a career; or just plain turn their interests elsewhere. Then there are those personal interests, such a painting, poetry, political and social issues (i.e. causes). We've had a few like that, but they don't seem to "abound" as they do in Europe. I think of Gwyneth's mother, Blythe Danner, whom I think would have liked a career as a top star in films but sort of passed on it for other things, personal and professional. Still, she's done nicely for herself, all things considered.

...speaking of vanished actresses, whatever happened to Joey Heatherton and Meg Tilly??? Good questions, Kosko. Joey, I think, was sort of an Andy Warhol era Goldie Hawn. Go-go girl type, and very hot, from such a different time than today: when blondes were blondes, dressed and behaved differently, weren't so keen on proving that they were empowered women (whatever), and didn't have strident ways about them. They were gals, babes, and they liked it. I'm not knocking anything, just sayin'. Their bodies didn't have to be buff, and they didn't need boob jobs. I think that Joey's name may have hurt her long term. If it had been Judy or Julie,--anything but a guy's name--she might have had more of a chance as a star player. Meg Tilly was wonderful in the Eighties. She was up there with Rosanna Arquette in being a kind of late in the day hippie chick, and I love that type, so I went for them. They were also pretty good actresses. Meg seemed more versatile. More quiet and still. There were a few others like that back then,--like thirty years ago--whose names escape me at the moment. Speaking of hippie types, how's about Barbara Hershey? She seemed the type, although I always found her less natural, more fashion conscious than most. There always seemed to be "issues" with her, in real life and on film. If she had been "kooky", like the young Shirley MacLaine, it might have worked, but she came off, to me anyway, as too serious, a head case; an awfully hot one, though, in her prime. |

I watched MARLOWE and EYE OF THE CAT recently.
Gayle Hunnicutt certainly had an "it" quality.
Maybe her leaving the US or just choosing forgettable roles?
She needed to do an Airport movie.
I just realized she did a film co-starring Sam Wanamaker.
Nicholas Hammond is playing Wanamaker in the Tarantino movie.
WTF?
I assume he will be under a lot of makeup and his voice is a lot lower than the old days. What a strange choice.
Tarantino really ought to insert a Gayle Hunnicutt lookalike into the story--1969 was a big year for her.
