Bill MullinsSo post a picture of a card. or two. or more.
As good as he was in

The Larry Sanders Show.

catskilleagleBill, you are so right. He was brilliant as the industry-savvy producer, Artie. That was a fantastic show. I once had a supervisor much like him and I thought Rip Torn would be perfect to play him if a movie were ever made about the company.

Bill MullinsIn memory of Artie, have a salty dog.

catskilleagleYeah, it's one of those more obscure promo cards. I assume it was a charity event he was happy to add his name to. I knew him best from his multiple appearances on Letterman.
I didn't know Julie Adams had passed away. I believe she was signing at shows in recent years. "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and "King Kong" were my favorites of the old monster movies. Hey, those guys just didn't know how to put their feelings into words.
Maybe it's the same everywhere...we have an hour and a half of local evening news plus the half-hour of national evening news and then another half-hour of local news. It's pretty much the same news at least twice but at no point did anyone tell me that Julie Adams had died.

Bill MullinsDavid Hedison, who played Felix Leiter in two Bond films, and was in the original "The Fly", has died at age 92.

Bill MullinsRoy Batty has died. He has seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. He watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain...
July 24, 2019, 03:45 PM
mykdudeAnother single card set signer. Always wondered why he didn't sign for Batman Begins. So many great movie memories. Seemed like he was in everything back in the 80's.

catskilleagleOne of my friends likes to recite Batty's last lines in the movie. He'll be sad to hear of Hauer's passing too.
