Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin’s arranged marriage has lasted 61 years
Duing the early days of Tinsel Town, movie stars who lived together without benefit of marriage were frowned upon. This is why actors Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss were encouraged to get married. Unlike many other arranged nuptials however, the Benjamins are together today six decades later. It was common back in the day for Hollywood head honchos to put pressure on single straight couples to marry and to push gay men and women to have "beards" which were fake husbands and wives in order to keep up an image that they were heterosexual.

Hugh O'conner's life and death mattered
I was recently watching an episode of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and when the character Lonnie Jamison appeared on screen I shed a few tears. This handsome young Sparta Georgia police officer was portrayed by Hugh O'Conner the adopted son of series star Carol O'Conner. I enjoyed seeing Jamison and his partners Parker and Sweet each week as they interacted on the show. I thought Hugh to be rather cute with a boyish charm and a decent actor although some might say he only obtained the role because his father was the star of the show.

The Night of the living duck: The final Looney Tune short to feature Mel Blanc
Swan song Mel Blanc has been described as the man with a thousand voices because he lent his vocal cords to a majority of the animated shorts that have thrilled us for many generations. His final short was a 6 minute Merrie Melodies offering titled "The Night of the living duck" which paled in comparison to previous work from Blanc. This is Blanc's swan song whether we like it or not. Some Baby Boomers have said that it seems as if the cartoon shorts and other work by Mel Blanc has been dummied down over the decades and lost some of the original magic.
