Brock Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 CNN reports actor Rod Taylor has died at 84. Loved him in The Birds and he was great in his double header with Doris Day. I was hoping we'd see more of him again after his unlikely comeback in Inglourious Basterds. In the words of Tippi Hedren: "Nooooooo...! Noooo...!"

FreddieMertz Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Watched The Birds last week and was surprised to find out he was still around. *Sigh* Oh well, we still have Tippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even notice him in Inglorious Basterds, of course it was a lousy bootleg copy of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Lucy used to tell this funny story of watching movies on her big screen in the den and always getting upset at all the sex shown, i think Thunderball brought on her rant. So she yells to stop the movie, which her kids had already seen anyway and asked for a western and on comes Rod Taylor in one and then he's making love to this woman and Lucy got up and went to bed in exasperation.

Brock Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was thinking as I tried to fall asleep last night that he was also memorable in "Separate Tables" and "The Catered Affair." Didn't realise until this morning's obituaries, however, that he was the voice of Pongo in 101 Dalmatians. Groovy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 !! It came out when you were nine -- you were its key demo. lol I started going to the movies at around fifteen i think so it was off the screens by then, LOL! Remember, Patty Duke in Please don't just stand there, or was that her hit record which was also my first. Point is i was never big on Disney fare, even now. I think i saw the Glen Close one though.

FreddieMertz Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 You didn't see a movie in theaters till you were fifteen? What was the first movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 You didn't see a movie in theaters till you were fifteen? What was the first movie? I just said that, i called it Please, don't just stand there but that was the hit song from the movie, the film was called BILLIE and it was boring as hell, but it was my first yes. Don't forget, this was 1965, and kids only went to the movies alone if it was a cartoon type movie. I loved Patty from her tv show and when she gave Lucy all those troubles later on, she faded from my radar, LOL! I'd say the other movies i saw back then were James Bond movies and even Elvis Presley crap movies, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddieMertz Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Sorry, I was a little confused by the post. Is Billie the one where she's the teenage lesbian or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, i dun't thin she was Lebenese. LOL! I also don't think Patty would have played a Lesbian back in '65. Si i googled a description of the movie which i haven't seen in about fifty years. It says she plays a track star, a tomboyish character who eventually gets pregnant so . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
