...and actually rose to the occasion to defend America and in essence all of the free world. If you want to see a list of many actors who joined the military during WWII, click on this link. I never realized the facts mentioned about John Wayne. I knew he was never in the military service but did not realize why nor how many times he tried to enlist.

...and let me tell you, if you have the chance, Curtains it should be. The wife and I, accompanied by our daughter Celina who was bored to tears on her day off and just had to interrupt our romantic interlude, went to see Curtains at the Abe Hirschfeld theater on Broadway (actually on W 45th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues). Despite some reviews that said the second act was the saving grace, this was a laugh a minute throughout, and the rest of the audience thought likewise. MY wife loved it, my daughter loved it, and I would definitely see it again, and again.David Hyde Pierce (Niles from Fraser) was very good; and his supporting cast, were great. I am not sure if it was Megan Sikor as Bambi, or Debra Monk as Carmen (the producer and Bambi's mom), or Jason Danieley as Aaron (the composer), or Jill Pace as Nicki (the Ingenue), or Edward Hibbert (the director) who stole the show for the others who saw it; but I can say that the character of Bambi was one hot lady, and she could have stolen my heart except for the red headed chorus girl; and of course except for my wife sitting next to me.
The play is a musical/love story/comedy/satire/mystery. It covered all those bases more than well. Without giving away any of the story line, I have to recommend it to anyone. The musical numbers were grand, the sets were spectacular, the dancing was vavavaroom (nice dancers), the story line good enough to keep you guessing, and as I said there were a lot of laughs.
If you are going to be in NYC sometime in the near future, I highly recommend you see this one.
All the best,Glenn B
...bore me to no end. For example:"Oh, no, no, no.Troubled "Rehab" singer Amy Winehouse took a barefoot walk around chilly East London at 5:40 a.m. on Sunday, while wearing only a bra and jeans."These were the opening lines of a FoxNews article atv which I just took a brief, very brief, glance. See http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,314882,00.html.Now here is what I think of all this:Who the fuck in Hades is Amy Winehouse, and who gives a rat's ass a moment's concern about her, maybe other than her mommy and daddy or another relative (if they even care).What is the big deal about her walking around in London at zero 5 dirty in the AM, clothed only in a bra and jeans, that actually makes her action newsworthy on a major news outlet?Is she trying to make a name for herself, or is the media trying to help her pump up her shitty career?What the heck is her career, what kind of entertainer is a 'Rehab Singer' anyhow?Why can't people just grow up, and actually tell so called entertainers like this asshole woman we have had more than enough so stop all the craziness or we will stop buying whatever it is you are selling.I for one have heard and seen enough of the likes of this woman, and: B.Spears, P. Hilton. M. Jackson, and all the other yahoos that are out there calling themselves entertainers. May I ask: "What ever happened to Randolf Scott?", or maybe I should ask about Bob Hope, or Cary Grant, or Myrna Loy, or Gene Tierney, or Lauren Bacall, Fred Astaire, Rodney Dangerfield? Now those were entertainers. I could at least put up with some shenanigans by them if only because they really produced when it came to entertainment, and all in all they were not show biz whores.All the best,Glenn B
