O'Neal had a very complicated life, but was a matinee idol and sterling talent with a protean, changeling quality people often underrated. His work in both the hysterical What's Up Doc? and the brooding, stylized, pre-Drive, etc. The Driver for Walter Hill is so far from what his typical image was. And he made it all look effortless.

From Lee Grant:

I feel like Ryan O'Neal has been a consistent part of my life for the longest time. From first seeing him in Bones as Brennan's criminal father, to gleefully binge-watching every episode of Peyton Place, to reading and hearing about his iconic pop culture relationships both romantic and familial, to listening to TCM's first season of The Plot Thickens about Peter Bogdanovich's career, to being enamored of Tatum O'Neal watching her hilariously damaged Maggie on Rescue Me which prompted me to read interviews about her, which would no doubt include her complicated relationship with her father, the latest being posted on THR just mere months ago, to seeing the cinematic masterpiece Paper Moon earlier this year. He's stayed relevant in my eyes as I, as a mere viewer, jumped around his crazy, exuberant, tortured life on-screen and off. RIP to a truly controversial, but fascinating figure. And yeah, the curious part of me awaits (respectfully and patiently) what Tatum will have to say.

R.I.P. to dub poet, activist and artist Benjamin Zephaniah whose poetry I found to be deeply poignant. I am glad people got to know of him through his role on “Peaky Blinders” though that is only a small part of his talents. And I will never not be tickled by the fact that, when offered the OBE, not only did he refuse it, he told everyone to take their Order of the British Empire and “stick” it.

We lost him too soon.

The great comic creator and artist Ian Gibson - of 2000AD, Judge Dredd, etc. fame and co-creator most particularly of the unfinished female sci-fi epic The Ballad of Halo Jones with Alan Moore - has passed away in the little time it's taken me today to revisit its gorgeous omnibus edition. What a legacy.

RIP Bob Miller, a costume designer who worked on several soap operas, including “General Hospital”. He passed away on December 9, 2023, at the age of 67, in Los Angeles, California. Miller was also a member of the Costume Designers Guild and worked on other TV shows such as “The Young and the Restless,” “Days of Our Lives,” and “The Bold and the Beautiful”

The above came from Bing Chat which is AI. 

Shawn Reeves, current GH Costume Designer who said Bob is legendary, was talking with Lynn Herring last week during a fitting & they both were aware that Bob's health was failing. Friday night Lynn called Shawn to tell him that sadly Bob had passed. Between Jon Lindstrom & Shawn's comments to me, I feel that this is bonafide even though I'm still not finding an obit or death notice. 

So, the GH family has lost one more. What a fracking year+! 

(For some reason the system won't let me edit this into my prior post.)

    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
