I was just watching one of those infommercials for DVDs from the Dean Martin Show. Where is Ann Margret these days? Goodness, that ad brought back some memories. A young Goldie Hawn, Satchmo, Johnnie Carson, Flip Wilson, Lucille Ball, Jimmy Stewart...
Entertainment has changed so much.

4. They were some great entertainers. |
|
Gosh, Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald were on that ad too. Zero Mostel and Jonathan Winters. Don Rickles.

5. Remember the Memorex ad with Ella breaking the glass? |
|
One of the best ads ever.

6. Ann Margret performed around here a year or two ago |
|
But I don't remember if she just sang or was in a show.

7. I agree that entertainment has changed a lot in recent years. There aren't many of the "old school" |
|
entertainers left. I hate to see any of them pass away as each death severs another link to the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. Some of my favorites who are still around are: Tony Bennett, Joey Bishop, Ed McMahon, Carol Burnett, Carl Reiner, Bob Newhart, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara. Did I miss any one? I also consider Billy Crystal and Bette Midler to be two contemporary entertainers in the same mold as those from the early years of Hollywood.

8. If it's distributed by Guthy-Renker, don't bother. |

They're way overpriced, and the discs always pop out of their holster in the containers -- which are cheaply made.
They claim satisfaction is guaranteed, but after reporting more than ONE scratched disc, they cancel your account claiming you're a bad customer.
Well, if they put out products that wouldn't get scratched and unplayable, people wouldn't be sending so many discs back to them. Cretins.
