4. Thanks. I'm really a single-issue type - like her/this *only*. Not "Cleopatra" or other versions per se.

When somebody asks whether I like "Country" or whatever, it's complicated: I like this and that other "Country" song and pop-European and Classical, lots of stuff but NOT jazz or rhythm based stuff.

Single things grab me. For example, a couple of months ago I was grabbed by this thing by nutcase Salvador DALI. Somebody here took it to mean I wanted to look into - at depth - "Surrealism" or even just him/DALI (a total creep). ------------ Uh, nope. This one thing was all for me.

No DALI or Surrealism for me. I don't know how to explain what grabbed me about this thing.

*** P.S., now am thinking the toes should have been curled in agony like the fingers - or in "ascencion" was the cringing over?

Vivien LEIGH as Cleopatra - no idea whether this is actual or created [View all] UTUSN Friday OP

She was in 1945's Caesar and Cleopatra with Claude Rains. rsdsharp Friday #1

All those lives (hers, Larry, MANY others) were so wild and "free" and tortured. UTUSN Friday #2

That might be a screen test for a role Vivien Leigh didn't get. Jeebo Friday #3
