Hi Arnold,

I was surprised to see Camylle Raymond play the role of David Carradine! [wink!]

Was it Sinead O'Connor who had once shaven her head?

I remember the time when Def Lepperd and the Doors were popular.

Good to see the candy man here too!

I listened to Doors late, I love their music. Teri Hatcher used to be beautiful before, but now she looks very thin.

Hey Comp,

I remember seeing Lee J. Cobb in some of the older Westerns years ago.  David Carradine was excellent in Kung Fu.

Thanks for sharing. ~ Barbie Perkins

Sammy Davis was a great talent, and the "Mr. Bojangles" video demonstrates his singing ability. Flip Wilson was another great talent, and I'll always remember when Bing Crosby was the guest on his TV show -- it was really funny. Lee J. Cobb starred in lots of movies, but "12 Angry Men" was one of my favorites. Anyone would be delighted to share Dec. 8 as a birthday with these celebrities.
