Answer: Dawn correctly said that Keith Moon blew up his drum kit, which is part of the answer. The drum kit had a small cannon in it but it was overloaded. The rest of the answer includes the fact that Bette Davis, waiting in the wings in full Elizabethan costume, fainted, while Mickey Rooney jumped with glee.Well, with baseball season starting we thought we'd throw a couple of curve balls and a slider into TT77. Actually, these are easy...you guys should be able to hit them out of the park!

ReplyDeleteDawn, we're hangin' in there. I'm trying to recover from March madness, not paying much attention now that the last Pac-10 team is out. How are things in Tucson now that UA lost?
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll today, BTW!! You got both #4 and #6, too! Good job!
Dawn, how are you doing, BTW?
ReplyDeleteAh, I beat Rick to it -- the other formidable Flynn fan!
ReplyDelete#1 Maureen O'Hara, with Power in The Black Swan and Flynn in Against All Flags.

Another great pic, Joann...combing the hair!

ReplyDeleteOh yes, the women....Yawn. It was Alexis Smith.
ReplyDeleteYes it was Alexis Smith, but I don't see a "yawn" in that!
ReplyDeletePaul, I have not paid any attention to U of A basketball this year. We have been very busy with my husbands elderly parents who are in their 90s. I swear if it is not one thing it is another. But.. we are doing OK.
ReplyDelete#6 is Cleopatra. They are all fabulous, if not completely historically inaccurate, especially for costume. But who cares? They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Tema! Yes, you're right about #6...it was Cleopatra!
