[Young Chris Walken](http://www.timemachinego.com/linkmachinego/images2/walken.jpg) looks like a hot, dirty angel. Oh who am I kidding? I never forgot. And second the Orson Welles appreciation. What a shame. ---

> [@ArchiveGuy](#): > > [Second hottest.](http://venus.provocateuse.com/show/veronica_lake/02) I still like EM better. It’s that cute button nose. Speaking of Star Trek babes, I saw Sally Kellerman in a play about 15 years ago, at age 55. Still a hottie. (The play was Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolff.) ---

I always have an easy answer for this. Fay Wray. I’ve always loved King Kong but as a kid was bored until they get to the island. Maybe 10 or so years ago, I saw King Kong on the big screen and was shocked at how hot she is in that film. She does all these cute little expressions when she’s on the deck trying to hit on Jack and then there’s the scene where she’s doing the screen test in the Beauty and the Beast costume and it is very obvious that the set was very cold that day. It was just so much more noticeable on the big screen. [![](http://www.shillpages.com/faywray/wrayfd13.jpg) ](http://www.shillpages.com/faywray/wrayfd13.jpg) ---

Well, sheesh, for all I’ve been going on about Elizabeth Montgomary, I swear I met her younger, cuter twin last night. Actually, the little witch looks like Montgomery’s and Nicole Kidman’s love child. I was having a great time talking to her until she accused me of lying about my height. So we stood up to compare. The problem was obvious: She was wearing high heels, so she was cheating. I accused her of such, and told her to take them off. She said “I NEVER take off my high heels!” Oh. My. I’ll be in her bunk. ---

> [@BACI](#): > > Saw an episode of Bewitched the other day for the first time in maybe twenty years and I have to say whoever cast pretty much all the female roles had a very dirty mind… Yes, that Aunt Clara was certainly hot! 😃 Everyone remembers Bob Newhart waking up in bed with Suzanne Pleshette at the end of the finale of “Newhart”, but do you remember him telling her, just before he went back to sleep, that she should “buy a few sweaters”? Mary Frann wore a lot of _very_ tight sweaters on that show. ---

Several years back I was eating ribs in a dive in Cincinnati that had old cheesecake photos of starlets on the walls.
