You might also want to youtube some Debbie Reynolds interview or late night show appearance.
Is it something about just US getting older?
I think not, or not entirely, in any case.
That little lady is what they call "a fire cracker." (She's from Texas). I had the pleasure of doing one of her live shows one day, and however funny she is on the night show, she is twice as funny off stage. Man, hearing Tammy sung onstage by the original voice and face is something else. Must be a good life knowing you've got an audience of 2,000 suckers, just for that, every time you go out. But she still has to fill out another 50 or 60 minutes, and she does it.
BTW, nice yelling at each other in the other thread. We do this stuff all the time, right? We still good?
If you're into movie femme fatales, don't overlook Ida Lupino, especially in a movie called The Hard Way. My favorite line from that movie is when her brother in law shows up uninvited to his own wife's party (yes, that was the case in the movie, Ida Lupino's sister, in character). "I thought I was your friend" he says. Ida Lupino's character says "I'm my only friend, Jack, you know that." The perfect cold look with the prettiest smile on her face, the whole time. She knew Hollywood and the woman's place regarding the camera in the '50s and '60s, so she was sharp enough to get into directing before her dawn arrived. She directed some decent movies in the '50s, and directed a bunch of TV episodes in the '60s, one Twilight Zone among them.
Marie Windsor is another most excellent 'Bad Girl,' in any movie. Her eyes alone make men squirm.
You are aware, I might think, that Jimi Hendrix played the guitar with his teeth in concert.
There was a movie that came out in 1949, I think, with John Wayne, Marie Windsor, and some others. J Wayne and his buddy got stuck onstage pretending to play the violin, but with no clue. The real violin player in the band, however, stood up and plucked the strings with his teeth in midst of his solo, played it behind his back, etc.. The movie is called The Fighting Kentuckian. Worth getting, if just for Marie Windsor and the violin teeth plucking.
