Re:That's it. Gin and I watched The Verdict the other night, and
even as a drunk, Newman looked important and focused. A remarkable face! - Bob

Judge the poem on its success in capturing the person's
facial "persona" within the limits of a haiku, not as a value judgment. I took it on as a challenge, not an endorsement. - Bob

Re: Like Kabu I'd rather look into the eyes of "no famous" but hard-working
Sounds right to me, but I'm talking about movies not match-making - Bob

Like Kabu I'd rather look into the eyes of "no famous" but hard-working
man. Now it's those eyes that tell a story....

Re: Me.....I always liked Robert Redfern....Sigh......LOL......but actors are
We all have our weaknesses - I have a very soft spot for Meg Ryan. As a kid I was nuts about Judy Garland as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. - Bob

Re:I remember feeling outraged when I heard that Alec Guiness got
the Academy Award for Bridge on the River Kwai - he was just being himself, right? Wrong! The power of make-believe and the actors who generate it is a miracle to me! Imagine being Willy Loman in front of a camera,behind which someone's eating a tuna sandwich or talking on a cell phone - and doing it through five or six takes! Or Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leah holding on for dear life as a bored handyman shakes
their little set, simulating achieving warp speed. And making us forget it's just pretend! I guess I just love being tricked by the magician. = Bob

Re: i'm sure you're right, Lion, but in cases where that's so, isn't it
amazing that they can bring it off with such a convincing air of self-confidence! Like something I once heard: if you can fake sincerity, you've got it made. There's mystery in there. - Bob

Re: The subject has always fascinated me: I can't picture certain
actors EVER walking away from an audition without getting a part. Jack Nicholson, for instance - he's just got an inherently interesting "presence" about him. Paul Newman's eyes have that certain something I can't put a name on, commercial considerations aside. You're right, the ladies will probably have something enlightening to say about Newman. But seriously, I feel that if someone like John Wayne came into a room, he's suck up all the oxygen. Maybe it's just me, a plaything of the media. - Bob

I think celebrities must have a lot of fear in them that they must seek public opinion so desperately

A television Screen. A cynical expression for money well earned. I think you will have to drag the ladies on here Bob. Why don't you ask them what they see in men, just for a lark.
