WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors. Hope everyone is up and about on this October Friday, and ready to deal with the day.

edgar, speaking of "magic moments", I was transfixed looking at the full and setting moon from my stoop. Nothing, anywhere, is more magnetic. One is not likely to see such a sight in the mountains.

To follow edgar's trend:

Peter, Paul, and Mary

When I was a young man and never been kissed,
I got to thinking it over- what I had missed.
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then,
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.

Chorus:
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

I asked her to marry me and be my sweet wife,
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man,
And then, oh Lord, she gave me her hand.

(Chorus)

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins,
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins.

(Chorus)

Our children, they numbered just about four,
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.
They all got married and they didn't hesitate;
I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight.

(Chorus)

Now that we're old, and ready to go,
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.
We had a lot of kids, trouble, and pain,
But, oh Lord, we'd do it again.

(Chorus)

Janet Gaynor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Janet Gaynor [1] (October 6, 1906 - September 14, 1984) was an American actress who, in 1928, became the first winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Early life

Born Laura Gainor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, her family moved west to San Francisco, California when she was just a child. When graduated from high school in 1923, Gaynor decided to pursue a career in acting. She then moved to Los Angeles, California, where she supported herself working in a shoe store, receiving $18 per week. She managed to land unbilled small parts in several feature films and comedy shorts for two years. Finally, in 1926, at the age of 20, she was cast in the lead role in a silent film called The Johnstown Flood, the same year she was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars. Her outstanding performance won her the attention of producers, who cast her in a series of films.

Rising career

Within one year, Gaynor was one of Hollywood's leading ladies. Her performances in Seventh Heaven (the first of twelve movies she would make with actor Charles Farrell) and both Sunrise and Street Angel (in 1927, also with Charles Farrell) earned her the first Academy Award for Best Actress in 1928. It was the only time in Oscar history that the award was given for multiple roles: it was given on the basis of the actor's total work over the year, and not just for one particular performance.

Gaynor was one of only a handful of leading ladies who made a successful transition to sound movies over the next decade. And for a number of years, Gaynor was the leading actress of the Fox studios and was treated accordingly with top billing and the choice of prime roles. However, when Darryl F. Zanuck merged his fledgling studio, 20th Century, with Fox, her status became precarious and even tertiary to that of actresses Loretta Young and Shirley Temple. She managed to terminate her contract with the studio and achieved acclaim in films produced by David O. Selznick in the mid-1930s.

In 1937, she was again nominated for an Academy Award, this time for her role in A Star Is Born. After appearing in The Young in Heart, she left film industry for nearly twenty years, returning one last time in 1957 as Pat Boone's mother in Bernardine.

Death

She died in 1984, at the age of 77, partly as the aftermath of a traffic accident in San Francisco in which a driver running a red light crashed into her taxi, killing one of the passengers, and injuring the rest, including her husband, Paul Gregory, and her long-time companion, Mary Martin. Gaynor never fully recovered from the accident.

She was interred in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California.

Posthumous allegations

After Boze Hadleigh's 1996 book Conversations with 10 Hollywood Lesbians, it was claimed that Janet Gaynor and Mary Martin had had an intimate long-term lesbian relationship. Many gay or lesbian actors and actresses were forced to hide their sexuality by making sham marriages during Hollywood's early years, and it was not uncommon for stars to later have it revealed that they had led secret sexual lives. [2] [3] [4]

In Hadleigh's 1994 book Hollywood Babble On (ISBN#1-55972-219-3), actor Robert Cummings is quoted as saying regarding Gaynor and Mary Martin: "Janet Gaynor's husband was Adrian, the MGM fashion designer. But her wife was Mary Martin..." It should, however, be noted that neither Gaynor nor Martin were interviewed for the book nor were either alive at the time of its publication.

Carole Lombard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carole Lombard (October 6, 1908 - January 16, 1942) was an American actress. She was born Jane Alice Peters in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Her parents were Frederick C. Peters and Elizabeth Knight. Lombard's paternal grandfather, John Claus Peters, was the son of German immigrants, Claus Peters and Caroline Catherine Eberlin. Lombard's mother's family originates in England; her ancestors John and Martha Cheney emigrated to the North America in 1634.

Career

Lombard made her film debut at the age of twelve after she was seen playing baseball in the street by director Allan Dwan, who cast her as a tom-boy in A Perfect Crime (1921). In the 1920s she worked in several low-budget productions credited as Jane Peters, and then later as Carol Lombard. In 1925 she was signed as a contract player with 20th Century Fox and she also worked for Mack Sennett and Pathé Pictures. She became a well known actress and made a smooth transition to sound films, starting with High Voltage (1929). In 1930 she began working for Paramount Pictures.

In October 1930 she met William Powell and the couple were married on June 26, 1931. Lombard commented to fan magazines that she did not believe their sixteen-year age difference would present a problem, but friends felt they were ill-suited as Lombard had an extroverted personality while Powell was more reserved. They divorced in 1933 but remained friends and worked together without acrimony.

Lombard became one of Hollywood's top comedy actresses in the 1930s. In comedies like Twentieth Century (1934) directed by Howard Hawks, My Man Godfrey (1936) directed by Gregory La Cava, for which she received an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination, and Nothing Sacred (1937) directed by William A. Wellman, she received praise from critics and was described as one of the key exponents of screwball comedy. Despite her glamorous looks Lombard was a natural comedienne, and was not afraid to look silly for the sake of being funny. Offscreen, she was much loved for her down-to-earth personality and sense of humor. She also loved playing pranks during filming. About her husband Clark Gable, she once joked, "If his pee-pee was one inch shorter, they'd be calling him the Queen of Hollywood."

In the mid-1930s Lombard started an affair with Clark Gable. Their relationship was kept quiet due to the fact that Gable was still married to his second wife, Ria. Gable was finally divorced from Ria on March 7, 1939, and on March 29, 1939, Gable and Lombard were married. They bought a ranch, previously owned by director Raoul Walsh in San Fernando Valley, California. They called each other "Ma" and "Pa," and lived a happy, unpretentious life. Although he remarried twice after Lombard's death, to all who knew Gable, she was the love of his life.


Death

When at the end of 1941 the US entered World War II, Lombard travelled to her home state of Indiana for a war bond rally. At four o'clock in the morning of Friday, January 16, 1942, Lombard and her mother boarded a DC-3 airplane to return to California. After refueling in Las Vegas, the plane took off on a clear night, and twenty-three minutes later crashed into Mount Potosi, 30 miles southwest of Las Vegas. All of the 22 passengers aboard were killed.

Just before boarding the plane in Indiana, Carole had addressed her fans, saying, "Before I say goodbye to you all, come on and join me in a big cheer! V for Victory!" President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who admired her patriotism, declared her the first woman killed in the line of duty during the war and posthumously awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Shortly after her death at the age of thirty-three, Gable (who was inconsolable and devastated by her loss) joined the United States Army Air Forces, serving as a gunner on a bomber on combat missions over Europe. The Liberty ship SS Lombard was named for her and Gable attended its launch on January 15, 1944.

Her final film, To Be or Not to Be, directed by Ernst Lubitsch and co-starring Jack Benny ― a satire about the Nazism and the World War II ― was in post-production at the time of her death. The film's producers decided to cut the part of the film in which her character asks, "What can happen in a plane?" as they felt it was in poor taste, given the circumstances of Lombard's death. A similar editing instance happened when the 1940 Warner Brother cartoon, A Wild Hare, was reissued. Lombard's name was originally mentioned in a game of "Guess Who," but all reissue prints have the name dubbed over with Barbara Stanwyck.

She is interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. The name on her headstone is "Carole Lombard Gable". Although Gable remarried, he was buried next to her when he died in 1960.

Trivia

Lombard was a second generation Bahá'í who formally declared her membership in 1938.[1]

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6930 Hollywood Blvd.

Britt Ekland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Britt Ekland (born October 6, 1942 as Britt-Marie Eklund) is a Stockholm-born Swedish actress, long resident in the UK.

Britt Ekland became famous as a result of her whirlwind romance with British actor and comedian, Peter Sellers, who proposed after seeing her photograph in the paper; they had one daughter, Victoria, before divorcing. The couple made two films together, After the Fox in 1966 and The Bobo in 1967.

She later had a much-publicised romance with rock star Rod Stewart, (she is heard whispering on his song Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)), and in 1984 she married rock musician, Slim Jim Phantom, who was almost two decades her junior; they also divorced.

She had a number of guest appearances in Television shows and Made for TV movies including The Six Million Dollar Man, McCloud, Battlestar Galactica (1978), The Love Boat, Matt Houston, Fantasy Island, and Lexx.

She appeared in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Other film appearances include The Night They Raided Minsky's, Get Carter, the 1973 film The Wicker Man (for which her voice was dubbed - see notes) and The Ultimate Thrill.

In the 1999 BBC television series I Love the '70s she hosted the 1971 episode in homage to her role as Anna in Get Carter, which was released that year.

She was portrayed by Charlize Theron in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004).

Elisabeth Shue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elisabeth Shue (born October 6, 1963) is an Academy Award-nominated American film actress.

Shue was born in Wilmington, Delaware, into a prosperous and well-educated family and grew up in Bergen and Essex counties in New Jersey. Her parents divorced while she was in the fourth grade. Her father, who was active in Republican politics, once unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey. Shue graduated from Columbia High School, in Maplewood, New Jersey, and attended Wellesley College and Harvard University, from which she withdrew to pursue her acting career. She returned to Harvard, 15 years after withdrawing, to finish her degree in Government in 2000. [1]

During her studies at Columbia and after her parents' divorce, she found a way to make extra money by acting in television commercials. A state junior level gymnast, Shue became a common sight in ads for Burger King, DeBeers diamonds, and Hellman's mayonnaise.

In 1984, she co-starred in The Karate Kid as the onscreen girlfriend of Ralph Macchio, and had a role as the teenage daughter of a military family in the short-lived series Call to Glory. She continued her acting work with Adventures in Babysitting, her first starring role, Cocktail, Soapdish, and The Marrying Man. Trying to shed her girl-next-door image, Shue took a chance on a low-budget, high-risk project called Leaving Las Vegas. Her portrayal of a prostitute mixed up with a suicidal alcoholic played by Nicolas Cage earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Since then, she has starred in The Saint, Deconstructing Harry, Palmetto, and Hollow Man.

In 2006, Shue and her two brothers are producing Gracie, a movie about a teenage girl with an interest in soccer, in part based on Elisabeth's own experience. It is in part filmed on location in areas where she grew up.

Personal life

Known among her friends and family as "Lisa," Shue is married to Davis Guggenheim, director of the HBO TV series Deadwood. They have a son, Miles William (b. November 11, 1997), and two daughters, Stella Street (b. March 19, 2001) and Agnes Charles (b. June 18, 2006).

Her brother is actor Andrew Shue, of Melrose Place fame. Another brother, William, died in 1988 at the age of 26 from a freak accident while on family vacation. Son Miles's second name is in homage to Will.

Your celebs are really interesting, hawkman, but will wait to comment after our resident photographer appears with the pictures and the proofs.<smile>.

Here's a song inspired by coberst's "Ironic" thread:

Artist: Fitzgerald, Ella Lyrics

Song: Isn't It Romantic? Lyrics
Isn't it "ironic"
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it "ironic"
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it "ironic"
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it "ironic"
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it "ironic."

(instrumental)

Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it "ironic"
Isn't it "ironic"

It is also ironic, folks, that "romance" simply means Romanesque

I was standing in the lobby when she asked if I was going to fix the drains, "no" I said, I am the…

Rocket Man
Elton John Lyrics

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And i'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much i miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And i think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think i am at home
Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science i don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And i think it's gonna be a long long time

Good morning. Reporting from Smiley City.

Hey, Try. Love Rocketman, buddy. You're standing in the lobby with Sir Elton and Hank is waiting in the lobby.



I didn't have to be thrown in a dungeon
Or left in a chamber cold and dark
For such loneliness I'm sure is the same that I endure
While I'm waiting in the lobby of your heart

And now I'm waiting waiting in the lobby of your heart
I'm on the doorstep yet we're so far apart
Many times I tried you wouldn't let me come inside
Now I'm waiting waiting in the lobby of your heart

You could have had me thrown into a prison
Or bound and tied with shackles on my feet
Instead of this sad taint to sit alone and wait
In the lobby of a heart that's cold as sleet
And now I'm waiting..

Hey Miss Smiley. I think I recognize all your pictures, PA. Let's see. There is Janet and Greta and Britt and Elisabeth, right? A quartet of ladies today. Hmmm. that sounds like a trendy magazine.

You Rock My World Lyrics

There was nothin' going on in this old town
Just one street and the shop's shut down
The sun has come the grass is dry
You came kicking up dust as you rolled by
With tangled hair and spirit free
Something stirred inside of me

You rock you rock a country world
And you roll me in your loving ways
And you shook you shook the stony ground
Go girl
You rock my world

Your wide smile turns hard and thin
When your horse plays up and he won't give in
Well I'm amazed at everything you do
Like a desert fire I burn for you
Well there's a power I can't explain
It's like thunder rollin' across a plain

You rock you rock a country world
And you roll me in your loving ways
And you shook you shook the stony ground
Go girl
You rock my world

Your eyes so deep they draw me in
And you take me higher than I've ever been

You rock you rock a country world
And you roll me in your loving ways
And when you shook you shook the stony ground
Go girl
You rock you rock a country world
And you roll me in your loving ways
And you shook you shook the stony ground
Go girl
You rock my world

Yes you rock my world
Rock my country world
C'mon baby don't you rock it

Hey, Try. Speaking of rocking, how about a little rollin', buddy.

Here's an old train song. Incidentally, folks. I have been to a big estate in Virginia called Oak Ridge that had it's own train station. Amazing, no?


Chorus
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms

[chorus]

Where were you last Friday night
When I was in jail?
Walking on streets with another man
[Wouldn't even] go my bail

Well, listeners, another happy occasion. Squinney and bi-polar bear are having an anniversary. Wish them well:

hamburger, Welcome back. You must be feeling better, Canada. Wow! You are not going to believe this, but I got a message from my sister talking about compiling songs for the progeny. That was among them.

And speaking of siblings and such, folks. This is for my brother who was also born in October:


When The Swallows Come Back to Capistran
Ink Spots


When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, "Farewell", in Capistrano
Twas the day the swallow flew out to sea

All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

Oops, sorry, edgar. Missed your song, Texas. Love those oldies, buddy, and thanks for not shooting the juke box.

How about a Friday night song, folks:

During the week I'm only half alive, wasting my time all day from 9 to 5
They think I'm slow and I'm a lazy guy
They should see me now, I'm here in your town, I'm blowing the fuses right out
Friday night - gonna let it go, dynamite - ready to explode
My boss says I'm not working hard enough
Don't even know that I sleep on the job
I'm only interested in rock 'n' roll
I'm using the week to save energy, I'm recharging my batteries - ow!
Friday night - gonna let it go, yeah, dynamite - ready to explode
Friday's okay, I get my pay, spending all night on rock, women and wine

Oh-oh - I'm allergic to those working days
Oh-oh - but I must survive 'til Friday, Friday, Friday

TangerineJimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra w/ Bob Eberly & Helen O'Connell lyrics

[Words by Johnny Mercer]
[Music by Victor Schertzinger]

(Bob Eberly)
Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen, toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she has them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

(Helen O'Connell)
Tangerine, she is all they say
With mascara'd eye and chapeaux by Dache
Tangerine, with her lips of flame
If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame
And I've seen, clothes on Tangerine
Where the label says, from Macy's Mezzanine
Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl
But she's only fooling one girl
She's only fooling Tangerine

Indeed I do remember Tangerine, hamburger. That song could really swing, and our tenor sax man really swung it and sang it as well.

Love the parody as well, Canada.

Also this goody:

They Say It's Wonderful
Frank Sinatra

They say that falling is love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say.
And with the moon up above,
It's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me.

I can't recall who said it;
I know I never read it;
I only know they tell me
That love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance
Is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say.

To leave your house some morning,
And without any warning,
You're stopping people shouting
That love is grand, and
To hold the girl in your arms
Iis wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say.
