My partner walked by my work station:
She: "What the heck are you working on? Is this a horror film? That panda covering its eye looks possessed!"
Me: "No, dear, that isn't a panda, it is a backward letter 'e' in the film tail!"
However, it DOES look like an evil panda -- and cannot be unseen!

In 1988, I was able to meet Hal Roach Studios alums George "Spanky" McFarland, Henry Brandon, Rosina Lawrence, Jerry Tucker, and Virginia Karns. Also spent time with Dorothy "Echo" DeBorba, Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, and Venice Lloyd, the wife of studio cameraman Art Lloyd. Good times!

The unjustly forgotten comedy team of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. You haven't lived until you have seen DIPLOMANIACS (1933) or HIPS, HIPS, HOORAY! (1934).
Think of them like The Four Marx Brothers -- minus two.
