I enjoyed the newer Modern Miss Fisher series more. The actress has more spark…..this one isn’t just older she just seemed to enjoy always being smarter and better than everyone too much.
And the 60’s look in the new series was perfect for the actress.
“Modern” wasn’t a great series but I sure enjoyed it more. I actually quit watching this one, it got so tedious watching the character every week!
I think she definitely got typecast in those roles but I hope she was happy with the career she carved out.
Coppola also made her the star of that weird musical he tried, and that was her shot at being a leading lady but boy that thing bombed. Not her fault though….
(1982 One From the Heart, had to look it up)
Francis also used Cindy Williams more than once, I think the guy shared my taste for ‘the cute girl next door’ type!
She did have that vibe, but Teri could misunderstand me as much as she wanted, I’d stay married to her! She was my first childhood crush from when she was on…..The Sonny and Cher Show. Always noticed her in the skits, so cute….
Re your post though…….She also plays a put-upon woman in The Conversation, a woman who Gene Hackman visits and takes advantage of. And with the worst hair ever almost making her unattractive!
He was extremely unqualified and was only elected because he was perceived as the opposite of Nixon, and most people wanted a change of pace.
Why a failure, well at home in the US the economy was a disaster. People can argue forever how much was his fault but when you’re president while the economy is ravaged like that you own it.
And overseas he projected weakness and whenever the US is seen as ineffective and weak the bad actors around the world take advantage. Add in the disaster in the desert during the failed attempt at rescuing the hostages and he radiated incompetency.
The country quickly realized their mistake and switched course again. It was much more conservative back then….CA had Republican governors!——-heck people forget or ignore that Nixon had been re-elected by a laaaaaandslide, 49/50 states I think?
Carter was the only Democrat president from 1968-1992, and part of that was specifically due to just how bad he was.
Nice guy but he was in over his head.
Are you familiar with an Israeli film called “Zero Motivation”?
Not exactly what you’re describing but based on this you might find it interesting.
You seem like you’re up on things so you might know it though!
This post wasn’t really deleted, it’s just resting, PININ' for the FJORDS!
It’s pretty much true although tastes differ
But I’m sure many would agree that although she wasn’t on SNL for long Julia Louise Dreyfuss meets the criteria…
Uuuhhhmmm
Someone else has heard of Helen Merrill?!
I’m pleasantly surprised.
Fitzgerald has always been overrated imo and she brought down upon us the scourge of female scat singing so that’s a downvote lol. Only Louis and she could pull it off.
It’s Sarah Vaughan for me!
Anyone who’s interested should also look up Robin McKelle’s first album “Introducing RM” which has fantastic arrangements like Sinatra always did and a fun loose delivery.
Her later stuff is good too but they Diana Kralled and overproduced them.
Her first is amazing though and even though she’s female reminded me of Sinatra more than anyone else.
This thread is missing some more artsy farts choices…there were so many back then
Sophie’s Next Predicament
Out of Asia

I’d never really noticed this before! There’s probably others I forgot
However I do not believe he was involved with What About Bob?
