RIP Shelley Fabares

QuoteShelley Fabares, an actor who was a fixture on television for decades from her days as a young teenager on "The Donna Reed Show," through "One Day at a Time" and "Coach," has died. She was 82.

She died Saturday in Los Angeles, her family said in a statement to The Associated Press. No cause was given.

Her biggest break came when she was cast as Mary Stone on "The Donna Reed Show," where she was a regular from 1958 through 1963. During that time she also got a recording contract and had two Top 40 hits, including "Johnny Angel." In the early 1960s, she also co-starred in three movies with Elvis Presley: "Girl Happy," "Spinout" and "Clambake."

In the late 1970s, Fabares made an impression as Francine Webster on the CBS sitcom "One Day at a Time." She also played James Caan's wife in "Brian's Song." One of her biggest roles came when she was cast as Christine Armstrong in "Coach," although the show took a minute to find its audience.

Steve Bannon with the acceptance of Madame Tram.
Book I am reading here at the Wilson Library in University of Minnesota on 5/7/2026 says that The Russians had tanks capable of going 112 miles per hour. The book is called Car Wars by Jonathan Mantle written in 1995. I am about to look on the internet to see if the M1 Abrams, if it is known (either classified or unclassified) what its top speed was. We are talking about possibly having to rewrite everything we know about things like the SR-71 blackbird or whatever else. But then yeah, you also have Buttigieg. And I will NEVER get that out of my system. Call me insensitive. Whatever.

Soylent Green? Maybe so much of Soylent Green is happening in reality that that is what the name check is really about. Kind of like if you say Frankenstein in a movie or whatever, you aren't really talking about a movie but some concept that is actually happening. I have definitely been questioning the food that I eat lately. Reminds me some of this guy talking about the Bruce Effect. Times like this when I wish I didn't fail that MEPS exam and could have got into the Air Force. I have asthma   :smile:  I sort of feel like just getting by is not good enough. Especially if Soylent Green is coming! Baton down on my near comotose state and James Cameron documentaries where he claims that the Exodus in the bible was actually the Hyksos shepherd king expulsion. It's like James Cameron, love ya, but stick to the movies!

Quote from: HappyGilmore on June 10, 2025, 03:46:29 PMI'm almost afraid to read the book. I love the film, but I know if I read it I'll end up hating the film.

I'm almost afraid to read any of Bret Easton Ellis's other books  :bouncegiggle:

I remember frequently having to put AMERICAN PSYCHO down and walk around the room a bit before continuing !
So, I ended up reading another book by Ellis. The Shards.

They've made a TV show about it starring Wes Bentley from Yellowstone and the son of Richard Gere and daughter of Cindy Crawford.

The show is produced by Ryan Murphy of American Horror Story

The Wild Geese

The Wild Geese was the first South African made film shot here without any of the stupid apartheid laws onset. It was filmed at a mineral bath resort named Tschipise which still exists.

The movie was also responsible for the beginning of the downfall of segregated cinemas in South Africa as it was released to both black and white cinemas simultaneously which had never happened before.
