I have mentioned her numerous times in these pages and I am sorry that I have to write an obit but given her age of 92, I certainly knew the day was coming. I have some sorrow about a few things about Lizabeth Scott. I am sorry her main period of fame was for only a dozen years and that she made a mere 21 movies. I am sorry that she didn't expand her talent more than she did. I am sorry that she is mostly forgotten. I am truly sorry that she didn't write an autobiography and that she didn't come out of the closet that must have had locks, deadbolts, chains and a security alarm on it.

King Yul
Yul Brynner has always fascinated me. It may be true that when I have mentioned him in this blog, it has been in generally unfavorable terms. It also seems true that he is most deserving of smears hurled by his detractors. He was a piece of work... conceited, arrogant, mean, controlling, insufferable, frequently unstable, a liar and a cheater. I am not even sure he was a great actor, although I thought he was a good one and more importantly, one of the most mesmerizing screen presences I have ever encountered.
