    One of the best scenes in a TV of all time. In my opinion. It was so good. I felt that her not spiking the wine herself to take out Jamey was a mistake though. lol I thought for sure he was done.

                I saw Zardoz at the theatre (1974). A trippy off beat Sci-fi fantasy flick done on a measly budget of $1.55 million.

                Sean Connery wanted to prevent being type cast as Bond and took on the role in "The Hill" (1965)
                .
                He fit right into the role well playing a playboy who was attracted to a beautiful clepto maniac in "Marnie" (1964).

                His pre-Bond days was in the movie "Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959).

                I think he did his best work prior to the 80's and 90's.

                Switching gears,,,James Bond films. I absolutely did not like "Thunderball." The underwater action scenes towards the end of that movie stretch on forever and are still painfully excruciating boring to watch.

                  R.I.P Alex Trebek, 80, from his battle with pancreatic cancer. We know him as the host of Jeopardy!, but also hosted The Wizard of Odds, Double Dare, High Rollers, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, and To Tell the Truth.

                  --


                  Even though it's parody, I always LOL with the Jeopardy skit on SNL. RIP Sean and Alex:

                    Saw him once anonymously crossing a crosswalk next to the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego with his gal. He had this charming relaxed yet somehow "concerned" look on his face. RIP.

                      Alex Trebek is a tough one. I watched him on Jeopardy since he first started. Can't imagine the show without him.

                          R.I.P. Brigadier General Chuck Yeager, USAF (Ret), 97. The ultimate pilot...First man to break the sound barrier, and definitely had the Right Stuff.

                          He entered service as a private, and with outstanding eyesight and aptitude, he was accepted to pilot training. He also score an "Ace in a Day" and had 11.5 confirmed victories in WWII. After WWII he became a test pilot and broke the sound barrier on X-1 in 1947. He also commanded squadrons in the Vietnam War, and retired as a one-star General after over 30 yrs of flying service. His last official USAF flight was in 2000 on a recall to active duty, but he also broke the speed barrier again as a co-pilot in an F-15, on the 65th anniversary of his first time through.

                          I wonder if Fleet ever met him!
