Julie Christie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Julie Frances Christie (born April 14, 1941) is an Academy Award-winning British actress for her role in the 1965 film, Darling.

Ms. Christie was born in Assam, India, to Rosemary Ramsden and Frank St. John Christie (an operator of an Indian-based tea plantation). She studied at a convent in India (from which she was expelled) and later at the Central School of Speech and Drama before getting her big break in 1961 in a science fiction series on BBC television, entitled A for Andromeda. The full recordings have now been lost, although the sixth episode and a section of material from the seventh do survive.

Her first major film role was opposite Tom Courtenay in Billy Liar (1963). She played Lara in Doctor Zhivago (1965) and as Bathsheba in Far from the Madding Crowd (1967). Christie was a leading figure in the glamorous London of the 1960s, and continues to make movies including those in the French language with Sophie Marceau in 2001's Belphégor - Le fantôme du Louvre.

During the 1970s she moved to Hollywood and over several years had a high profile relationship with Warren Beatty though following the end of the relationship she returned to Europe.

Christie has never married and has made it clear that she has no plans to do so. Her long-time partner is "The Guardian" journalist Duncan Campbell, which prompted her reluctant return to Los Angeles, California, as that is where he has been based.

Sarah Michelle Gellar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Sarah Michelle Gellar (born April 14, 1977) is an American actress, best known for playing the title role in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Some of her most commercially successful films have been horror films such as The Grudge (2004) and I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), but she has also acted in a variety of other genres, from family films like Scooby-Doo (2002) to indie films like Harvard Man (2001).


Biography


Early life

Gellar was born in New York City to Jewish American parents Arthur Gellar and Rosellen, a nursery school teacher. At the age of 4 she was spotted by an agent in a restaurant in Uptown Manhattan. Two weeks later she auditioned for a part in An Invasion Of Privacy, a TV movie starring Valerie Harper, Carol Kane and Jeff Daniels. At the audition Gellar read both her own lines and that of Harper, which impressed the director's enough to give her the role. A short while later she got a part in a controversial commercial for Burger King in which she criticised McDonalds and claimed to only ever eat in Burger King. This led to a lawsuit against Burger King, ad agency J. Walter Thompson and Gellar herself, who appeared in court as a witness for the defense. The dispute was settled out of court.

Gellar then continued to make a considerable income from commercials while having small parts in TV. In 1984 her parents divorced and she was brought up by her mother on the Upper East Side. Gellar then attended one New York's top schools, Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, where she was bullied. The same year she had her third TV role as Emily in an episode of the TV series Spenser: For Hire, starring Robert Urich. She had a small part in Chevy Chase's Funny Farm, and filmed in Europe for the TV series Crossbow, based on William Tell which failed due to its similarity to Robin Of Sherwood.

Gellar attended the Professional Children's School, which was also attended by Tara Reid, Macauley Culkin, Rebecca Gayheart, and Jerry O'Connell, whom Gellar dated in 1988. Gellar held a straight-A average and became a competent figure skater.

Her best friend was Melissa Joan Hart, who later was the star of the television series Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

Gellar had a significant role in the movie High Stakes opposite Sally Kirkland. In 1991 she played a young Jacqueline Bouvier in A Woman Named Jackie.

Gellar has refused to acknowledge any relationship with her father, commenting "Just because you donate sperm does not make you a father". Arthur Gellar died of liver cancer on October 9, 2001.

Career

Gellar's major break came in 1992 in the teen soap opera Swan's Crossing. From there, she moved on to the long-running soap opera All My Children, where she played the conniving character Kendall Hart, the long-lost daughter of character Erica Kane (played by Susan Lucci). In 1995, at the age of 18, she won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Leading Actress in a Drama Series.

Gellar left All My Children in 1995 and landed the lead in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon, as a teenager burdened with the responsibility of fighting a number of mystical foes, with the aid of a group of friends and her Watcher (a teacher of sorts). The show was very well received by critics and audiences alike, and throughout its seven seasons, Buffy, and Gellar along with her, became cult icons in the United States and the UK.

Gellar also sang several of the songs during the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode "Once More, with Feeling," which spawned an original cast album.

While continuing in that role, she attempted to capitalize on her television fame in order to create a career for herself in motion pictures, with intermittent commercial success. After roles in the popular thrillers I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2 by Wes Craven.

Gellar starred in the film Simply Irresistible. This film, rumored to be the last film ever watched by critic Gene Siskel, featured a magical crab and borrowed heavily from Like Water for Chocolate.

Gellar's next film was the steamy hit Cruel Intentions, a modern-day retelling of Les Liaisons Dangereuses; this movie gained much exposure due to a famous girl on girl kissing scene between Gellar and Selma Blair.

Also in 1999, she made an appearance in the Stone Temple Pilots music video Sour Girl.

She then went on to play a lead role in Harvard Man in 2001 by James Toback.

Gellar found greater box office success playing Daphne in Scooby-Doo, a live-action adaption of the cartoon series. Despite being universally panned by critics, the movie was highly popular with audiences. Gellar also appeared in the movie's sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004).

The year of 2004 was marked by a point of controversy in Gellar's career, as the president of the talent agency representing Gellar, David Wirtschafter, told the The New Yorker that the success of Gellar's low-budget film The Grudge (a remake of the Japanese horror film Ju-on: The Grudge) "takes our client Sarah Michelle Gellar, who now is nothing at all, and it makes her a star, potentially. Suddenly, the Sarah Michelle Gellar space is meaningful." The remark led to Gellar abandoning the agency.

In January 2005 Gellar signed for the movie The Return which she started filming in March of that same year starring Peter O'Brien and Sam Shepard. Gellar finished filming The Return in July 2005 and started filming Southland Tales, a film by Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly in August 2005. She finished filming Southland Tales in October 2005.

She is currently filming The Air I Breathe with co-stars Kevin Bacon, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia and Forest Whitaker in Mexico City.

She will also be reprising her role as Karen Davis in a cameo for The Grudge 2, which is expected to begin filming after The Air I Breathe. She will appear in The Grudge 2 only briefly, passing the curse onto her sister in the film, played by Amber Tamblyn.

Shooting for A Girl's Guide to Hunting And Fishing, based on the book of the same name and co-starring Alec Baldwin will start in May 2006.

Both The Return and Southland Tales are expected to be released this year with her other animated movie Happily N'Ever After starring Prinze and Sigourney Weaver, which release date has been delayed as of 2006.

Gellar is expected to start filming Alice based on the game from American McGee this summer now that the script is complete and the budget has been set, between $40-$60 million, Alice is expected to be released summer 2007.

She has a total of 8 movies yet to be released.

Personal life

She once dated David Boreanaz who played the love of Buffy Summer's life in the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

On September 1, 2002, Gellar and actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. were married in Jalisco, Mexico. Adam Shankman, who Gellar had worked with on Buffy, officiated the nondenominational wedding.

11th Husband

A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband,
"Please be gentle; I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be."
"Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was
supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me."
"Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up."
"Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order,
he didn't know when he would be able to deliver."
"Husband #5 was an Engineer, he understood the basic process but wanted three
years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method."
"Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not."
"Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it."
"Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it."
"Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look."
"Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was.... God, I miss him!"
"But now that I've married you, I'm so excited!"
"Wonderful," said the husband, "but, why?"
"You're with the Government.... This time I KNOW I'm gonna get screwed."

I have read Von Daniken's GODS FROM OUTER SPACE and loved it, true or not; so while we wait for Raggedy, here's a song by UFO:

Born To Lose Song Lyrics
Artist/Band: UFO
Wonder if you belong, think you've got it down
Does it still feel the same, now that he's not around

Born to lose, Born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.


Wonder how it all began, as if that mattered anyway
There's someone else you're always wanting, every single day

Born to lose, born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round,
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.

(1) instrumental -

Born to lose, Born to lose, make your mind up no fooling 'round
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.

Yes, UFO arriving ....


I could not take it oh so seriously really
When you called and said you'd seen a ufo
But then it dawned on me the message in writing
Spelt out a meeting never dreamed of before

I looked out, in the night
Strange and startling
Was this voice of time just saying
There's got to be a linking of everyone
Got to be a centre
It all comes flooding back

Arriving thru eons of times immortal power of the future to behold
Vessels of a different impression,
None that we could ever hope to have known

So look out, in the night
Once they arrive
On that perennial light
Impress a bolder empire of energy
In the ships we see
The coming of outer space

You say there's no reason to conjure
With the force as it has been known to be see
You say I'm a fool, a believer
Put your feet on the earth it is green

But look out, in the night
Wait for they arrive
To start such sciences anew
Here it is the coming of outer space
Such a pure delight
The coming of outer space

Well there are our European friends, listeners.

Not even that little short dude on Moulin Rouge, Francis? Love your pun, however. Nice to see you back, Paris.

Walter knows how to play. Like that song, Germany.

I notice that Rod Steiger is among Bob's bio's and I think he may have played the role of Lon Chaney in the movie, Man of a Thousand Faces, but I am not certain, listeners; however, he did play in a movie called No Way to Treat a Lady, so:



Artist: Helen Reddy
Song: No way to treat a lady


I guess it was yourself you were involved with,
I would've sworn it was me.
I might've found out sooner if you'd only let me
close enough to see.

That aint no way to treat a lady no way
to treat your baby, your lover, your friend.
That Aint no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

I was only being a picture
with all the colors I know.
While you were busy looking into
wide blue mirrors and lovin the show.

That aint no way to treat a lady no way
to treat your baby, your lover, your friend.
That Aint no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

There's a funny kind of consolation keeping me sane.
And I'd really like to share it call on deep in my brain.
To see the times you never felt me loving you or needing you
So leavin you now you still wont know how
to free me from the pain.

I was looking out for my happiness
while you were looking within.
And befor you know your own reflection
always starts to tire. It's happened again.

That aint no way to treat a lady no way
to treat your baby, your lover, your friend.
That Aint no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

You're right, Raggedy. I looked it up. Hmmmm. Perhaps I am thinking about Dr. Zhivago, then. Do believe that Rod and Julie were in that one.

Speaking of faces, listeners, I was reading somewhere that one of the stone monoliths of Easter Island was on its way home. Can't find that news item now, but it is timely, both as a god from outer space and as a timely name for the holiday.

River of Dreams

Billy Joel Lyrics


In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Two beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)

'M'not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land (Long Four beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of the truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Well, there's our Try. Hey, buddy. Love Billy Joel, and that song is particularly enchanting. I think we all search, right? Particularly at this time of the year.

Speaking of searching, folks.



Keep on looking now
You gotta keep on looking now
Keep on looking now

You're looking for love
In all the wrong places

Where your walk it's always shadow
Conversation always shallow
When they talk they never look you in the eye
They look over your shoulder
To faces even colder
And you feel a little older
Every time

You're looking for love
In all the wrong places

When you're looking for reaction
When you're searching for direction
When you're scared of rejection
Or attack
You need the warmth of loving
When you're growing tired of seeing
A colourless reflection
Looking back

You're looking for love
In all the wrong places

Something real to fill those little empty spaces
So you're looking for love in all the wrong places

You need understanding
You need a home
All those people so alone
You need understanding
You need a home
All those people so alone

You're looking for love
In all the wrong places
You're looking for love
In all the wrong places

You better keep on looking now!

And so the evening shade will fall
Where nameless voices call and call
And think of all the friends you made
While you toast with Prozac and lemonade

You can hold me under septic skies
(You can dream to your own places)
Watch the sun set in my eyes
(You can't seem to put)
Could this be the time to die?
(A name to all the faces)
The wind upon your face
(Something real)
Your lips upon my lips
Like urban velvet
(To fill those little empty spaces)

So you're looking for love in all the wrong places
You keep on looking for love in all the wrong places

Dream and take away the tears
(Keep on looking now)
Drift on to where your heart is numb
(You gotta keep on looking now)
It's lovely there where love becomes
A drug to fill your need
Just believe in you!
And learn to love yourself
Before anyone else

U2 is still looking

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

Hey, Mr. Turtle. Great U2 song. Here's another "looking"

Performed originally by Looking Glass, listeners:


There's a port, on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors, pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

Roy orbison

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep. everything is all right.

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerlike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you're mine. all of the time we're together
In dreams, in dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.

It's too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.

Ah, Try. You are so sweet to be concerned; it makes me feel as though I'm in Roy's dream state. (what state is he from, anyway)Thanks, buddy for the song:

Babyface lyrics:


When this world
The real life world you're living in
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find
Too many troubles on your mind
And feel just like there's no escape

And it seems your heart's forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
There's a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free

Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining
Everything you need is just a dream away

Remember when
A dream could take you anywhere
Just a wish anything could be
When the farthest star was one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart
'Cause that's where dreams are where it starts
Anything is real if you just believe

[HOOK]

All it takes is faith to make your dreams come true
And somewhere in this world there'll be somebody
To share your dreams with you
