Thanks and sorry to hear the news. Showbiz is a big tent. It's good to
take roll call or, I guess here, Roll Call. Can he have been born
"Bart Burns?" Well, anyway, it's not a good name for a fire chief even
though not the character's name!

"AlbertClarkson"

You mean DEATH ROLL. That is what it is called when old people keep track of
who just died.

That's great that you grew up with John Davis Chandler. I recall him
being in a classic Columbo episode. Sometime back in the 70's, an
article described Chandler as the Elisha Cook Jr of his generation.
Quite a compliment!

Decades later I saw Chandler in a Western flirting with the much older
Marie Windsor. Apparently someone took that Elisha Cook Jr comparison
a little too seriously!

I think they are ol' men remembering, it's funny to think that
everyone is gay, I guess you get off on that, but seriously, there is
a fine line between buddy buddy relationships and taking it in the ol'
poopshoot.
You get off trolling around here, but hey it's a free country and if
you want to get off looking at Jack Lord's picture more cum to you !
Ha, Ha

Tennis players?? They may not have been tanking turds together, but it
sounds a little fey to me. As far as Jack Lord is concerned, what's wrong
with keeping a few photos of him posted around the house? He was the king of
all TV Police Officers.
