Book reveals worst about ‘talented TV assholes’ Mike Wallace, Chris Cuomo, and more...

[+ WilliamM]

@WilliamM this thread is starting to remind me of Bob Hope's frequent co-star, Norm Crosby.

 

Who is Norm Crosby?

 

It seems you watch a lot of television, how about films, or YouTube, or streaming?

I realized I got the relationship wrong in my last post, so I fixed it. BTW, Mildred Natwick was the real reason to watch THE SNOOP SISTERS.

Talk about a blast from the past. Several seasons of quality TV; sweet old ladies solving crimes while tooling around in a classic 1930's era Lincoln... only in the 70's. Way before HIPPA laws got in the way of getting information

Who is Norm Crosby?

 

Norm Crosby was a comedian, who just recently passed away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Crosby

 

I wonder if samhexum meant singer/songwriter David Crosby? Or even comedian/molester Bill Crosby [sic]? ?

 

(WilliamM - I'm KIDDING, before you have a conniption fit...)

Way before HIPPA laws got in the way of getting information

 

Are HIPPA [sic] laws anything like Bob Hope's partner NORM Crosby?

 

It's HIPAA. ?

At some point Helen Hayes was allergic to dust and could no longer perform in theaters, perhaps the reason for television.

 

Later in her life, Ms. Hayes regretted no longer Acting in person

[Luv2play]

Helen's beloved husband was Broadway's Charles McArthur. And she wanted to be called Mrs. MacArthur. But her real name was Helen Hayes Brown

Was it Helen Hayes who said, “90 percent of success in life is just showing up”.

Mike Wallace was great friends with Nancy Reagan's mother, Edie. Edie liked dirty jokes and was a minor star actress married for the second time to a well known doctor. Edie knew everyone in show business, especially her friend, Spencer Tracy.Nancy was particularly kind to Mr. Tracy's deaf son

 

Mike Wallace and Nancy Reagan deserved each other. Nancy disliked her two step children from Ronald Reagan's marriage to Jane Wyman.

Understandable, because Ronnie Reagan was her whole life. And Nancy's dad deserted her mom when Nancy was quite young.
