WISHBONE!!!!!!!

my dad used to be the vice president of the PBS station in Dallas (KERA) and one time during a fund raiser HE MADE ARRAIGNMENTS FOR WISHBONE TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE AND I GOT TO BE THERE I GOT TO MEET WISHBONE AND THEN I GOT A FREE WISHBONE PLUSH THAT I STILL HAVE IT WAS MAGICAL

One of my proudest moments was sitting next to Mo Rocca at an Event Dinner, and he was talking about his experience writing for Wishbone, and he said, kind of derisively, that initially the show was supposed to be about a bulldog who taught kids about jazz. He seemed really disgusted by the idea.

“Right,” I said. “Everybody knows bulldogs prefer ska.”

He snorted into his dinner, and I learned that the only thing I really like in this world is to make people who make me laugh, laugh.

The exquisite Hedy Lamarr at 19 in her first film, in that famous scene from Extase (1933).  Beauty and art at its finest. Not to mention a hell of a debut.

“It’s a near-masterpiece, an unmistakable work of the heart, a one-of-a-kind movie that treats female sexuality with both respect and enthusiasm. It’s a movie that loves women and presents love and sex as inextricably intertwined and in harmony with life and nature.”
