Rhonda in TX Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What's your fav CG movie? Have you seen "I was a Male War Bride"? Hysterical! I love him in "North by Northwest". That scene where he's sneaking through the woman's room and she yells, "Stop!", then puts on her glasses and says, "Stop" in a completely different tone of voice. :lol: Here's a to the scene. I've heard rumors over the years that he was gay. I don't believe it, but honestly, don't really care. If cared about the personal lives of actors/actresses, I wouldn't watch anything!

dirty ethel rackham Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have a Robert Redford story for you all. :D I went to college at BYU in Provo and Mr. Redford owns the backside of the mountain down there (Sundance, his ski resort). Anyway, it's just up Provo canyon, and it's the closest place to ski, so we went there quite a bit. One snowy winter day in the mid-80s, my girlfriends and I piled into her crappy Datsun with even crappier tires, to play hooky from school and ski. Well, before the canyon was widened, the entrance to Sundance was a "blink and you'll miss it" turn off the road. My girlfriend blinked and made a fast turn to pull into the parking lot. Not a good idea in the crappy 70s Datsun she was driving. We got stuck...right in the entrance. So, we're sitting in the car, trying to get it to move and spinning the wheels, when we hear this *tap, tap, tap* on the driver's side window. My friend rolls down the window (yes, manually, :lol:) and Robert Redford is standing there. "You ladies need some help?" :blink: "We're stuck." "Yes, I see that. (grin that made us all melt) How about I give you a little push into the parking lot?" "Why sure, Mr. Redford, whatever you like." :drool: "You can call me, Bob." *stupid giggling ensues from the car* So, "Bob" returns to his pick-up and we all try to keep our composure inside the Datsun, because, well, he can see us, but a few girly squeals were emitted. My friend who is driving manages to put the car in neutral and keep her foot off the brake (no small feat under the circumstances, I assure you) and "Bob" pushes us into the parking lot, so his other paying customers can have access to the resort. Anyway, we all jump out of the car, effusively thanking him (of course, he needed to hugged for performing such a valiant deed :D) and he was very sweet. He talked to us for about ten minutes, checked my friend's tires and told her to replace the rear ones, and then radioed to the admissions booth to give us each free lift tickets and a free meal at the Tree Room (his on-site restaurant). From that point on, we were all in :001_wub: Just an FYI, for those who like short men....he's short. I'm 5'6" and he was barely taller than me. Oh, my, I am all giggly just reading this. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdalley Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 James Garner. I loved the two movies he did with Doris Day. I'd probably watch James Garner read a phone book. I also loved Rock Hudson. Especially in Giant. I loved Gregory Peck in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' best I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 About 20 years ago I knew an older guy who used to own a nightclub in New York back in the 50s. He said Cary Grant came in all the time (along with many other actors). He said that in real life Cary Grant was just like he was in the movies--very polite, funny, as a pp said, debonair. That made me happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
