I got to x-country ski today 🙂 About 2.5 miles on some wooded trails half a mile from my home.
It’s a bit shallow but if this year is as bad as last, I need to take advantage of every opportunity.

As I seem to be running into glitches lately, I’m posting this episode of “The Twilight Zone” as a “raw” U.R.L..

Right click on it and open it in a new window so you don’t lose this page.
If all goes well, you’ll find it obvious to get to the episode.
This is not one of the better acted episodes.

I only know

four…
Shelly Duvall, Stanley Kubrick, and the twins who played the sisters..

on the set of
The Shining.

I think the others are crew members.

Trivia:
The girls are identical twins, but I read that they’re supposed to be sisters, and not the same age, in the movie.

The little boy (not pictured, unless that’s him way on the left?) grew up to be a math teacher, not an actor. He was only 6 during filming.

I never saw the Shining and recognized no one. Thank you Susan.

But more importantly, BRAVO for the math teacher, smart choice.

You’re welcome.

I never really “saw” The Shining, but I was in the theater while it was playing.

Dragged by friends who said it wasn’t really scary…. they’d seen it several times… I spent most of it covering my eyes and wishing I could shut off my ears.

I do recognize Shelley Duvall (who recently passed away) and director Stanley Kubrick from other films.
In fact, I loved Shelley in Nashville, Three Women and Popeye, among other parts.

And the girls had to be the famous twins because… well… because how many other sets of twins that age are going to be present on the set?

In some ways, teaching math instead of acting is a wise choice, and probably a better one for society…

Though you have to wonder whether he has ever regretted not making a lot more money as an actor.

Then again, many actors are just scraping by, chasing their dreams… but waiting tables to pay the rent, and putting up with the stresses of Hollywood, casting and auditions.

If it’s not your dream, it’s not worth it… And the world needs math teachers more.

“Come up with more” is actually meaning that we can come up with a few more of our personal favorites. It depends on how old you were when you saw a particular “legend” that stuck in your mind forever.

True… though I was responding to Happy³s use of the phrase.

Sure, though, I can think of some favorite cowboy roles that wouldn’t be called legendary…

But they stick in my mind…

like long legged James Coburn, slouched in the saddle, in the Magnificent Seven…. and Water Hole Number Three😁

Me too.

Hard to think of another actor so relatively not handsome, who can play funny, charismatic, menacing and rather sexy… often all at the same time!

Maybe Humphrey Bogart, from another generation… yet they’re nothing alike.

Funny, much as I like him, and his movies, I don’t think of Jimmy Stewart as a “cowboy legend.”

Legend, yes… cowboy no.

In spite of Liberty Valance and his other late westerns…

He got there by way of so many romantic comedies, and so much screen time wearing suits, ties and fedoras, not to mention military uniforms, that I don’t think of him in a cowboy hat.

Wait, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers aren’t the same person?! 😉

And how could they fail to support their local sheriff/gunfighter, that maverick actor, James Garner?

They sorta were. Roy took over as the cowboy lead (and not the singing backup) after they fired Autry for asking too much money for a role.

Yep… That’s what I found.

I already uploaded my solution, but you beat me to posting.

BTW that’s a really big hint.
I think it deserved a spoiler box of its own.

That’s not a heart beat.

That’s
an EKG

If they called it what it is, I may have had a chance.

Semantics.

If you look up EKG, the brief definition says it checks the heart beat.

Technically it measures electrical impulses, but they occur with every beat, and that’s the point of the testing….

So when I saw that pattern in the puzzle I recognized it as representing a heart beat.

Not semantics. You figured it out, which is great, but you didn’t find a heart beat. Is it so hard to say “find the EKG” or find “a hospital read-out”? A pictorial representation of a heart beat is a chest with motion lines, or even a heart with motion lines. Another poorly made puzzle.

I remember Dr. Demento playing a long set of WWII anti-Japanese and anti German songs that I recorded on a cassette. One of my favorites was by Hoagie Carmichael, just because of the title.

BTW… This illustration is called Christmas Shopping, and it’s from a 1955 ad for Four Roses Whiskey.

I couldn’t find the name of the artist… A few places said Roger Wilkerson, but that turns out to be the name of a made up character from a blog, not the artist.

Re: this mess.
 
I don’t know where these are coming from, but they start at February 25, 2021, and go beyond March 17, 2021.
I’ve tried following them back, but have had no real success (I wound up on the site of a Thailand extermination company when I finally got one to even begin working).
I’m drawing the postings to your attention just in case whoever it is is using your site for some illicit purpose.
Until I got curious tonight about whether there were more I just assumed that like me the poster was using the early site as a place to test posts the odd time.
Now I’m leaning toward illicit.
The below will take you to March 17, but right click and open in a new window so you don’t lose this page.

If you’re talking about trackbacks don’t click on them!

Not the user name, and certainly not any links they post.

Yes, they’re illicit. Most are harmless, but annoying…. they’re posted by bots.

Mostly portals to phishing sites, but you’d know better than to enter any information. Still you never know what could be there, and you don’t want to risk them tracking you

I’ve been seeing them lately too… I’ve already been investigating how to prevent them, and I was planning to discuss it with Nighthawks very soon.

He’s always snitchin’… you can’t hide in the kitchen.

And he’s got a drone, so you’re never alone!
