Things we learned from the Twilight Zone

As a matter of fact, she was an aquaintance of mine back in the late 70’s, if you are talking about the star of one the first episodes of the 80’s revival T~Zone, (or was it Night Gallery?) Man, the seventies were rough on a lot of us.

Her name is Hillary Shepard-Turner, and she was also the evil Divatox in one of those Ninja Turtle movies. She studied theater for a year or two at Northwestern U. before making the move to Hollywood. Stunning beauty, IMO.:wink:

No, I mean original TZ. I like to pretend that the knock offs don’t exist.

This is the one I mean:

Creepy old bat.

For your woman, I don’t see anything in her IMDb profile that’s TZ or Night Gallery related.

Yeah, I try to stick to the REAL Twilight Zone; perhaps that’s why all the others seem to blend together in lousy, easily forgettable mush.

Hilary’s role was from “Friday the 13th” TV series. Episode 4, season 1, A cup of time She played Lady Die :rolleyes: whose teacup’s painted on tendrils grow out and choke the life out of her victims, in order to give her eternal youth.

Back to your Aunt Tea, though, a nightmarish crone, indeed.

If an old peddler offers you something you need, TAKE IT!

If a man stumbles into your diner looking about a century out of date, help him all you can, and give him anything he wants.

If you’re playing a slot-machine and it pays off, then… well, there’s no good way out of this. Don’t play slot-machines.

So much new Zone hate. I rather liked it.

Don’t talk to Forest Whitaker.

Never fall asleep. Especially if you’re studying language or don’t like building your existence.

Never, ever agree to appear on a reality show. This applies in any reality and in all zones.

Let’s not forget this very telling exchange between them:

Thug: <<Gee, I thought only good people made it here. Like… teachers.>>
(paraphrased)

Guide: (with the usual subtle smile) “Oh, we have plenty of teachers here.” :wink:

So, I suppose one cautionary point is that anyone seeking the teaching profession had better be sure that they were “good” (morally and ethically, at least) and could be sure of maintaining it. Otherwise, it’s not for you.

Snerk.

That old guy who wants to be your political advisor? HITLER.

That hot chick who brings so much excitement to your boring life? DEATH.

This one is my favorite.

A century… and a half.

Martin Landau does a poor Russian accent.

If you flip a nickel into a coin box and it lands, and stays, on it’s edge, don’t knock it over.
