First post from my D90. Didn't have time to do more than try to fiddle the settings and do a few quick snapshots. It is interesting how disorienting it is to pick up a different dSLR and one that isn't configured to your preference...
I'll post another snapshot in a bit. For now you can enjoy the notes I've added describing the contents of the table.
Oh, and HBW! Hope you enjoy the BH bokeh ;-)
Manual focus as this scene was a challenge for the AF since it was shot at f 1.8. Lit by a single table lamp.

I had a very enjoyable visit with my grandson to this amazing place, The Barker Comic and Cartoon Museum! From Vintage 1930s Mickey Mouse Toothpaste to a 1:1 Scale Replica of the Hulk, every toy you’ve ever played with (or dreamed of) is displayed amongst the 88,000+ antique toys and collectibles within the Barker Character, Comic, and Cartoon Museum. Official Museum for Celebriducks, California Raisins, and Gumby! I shot a bunch of shots, all with a cell phone (not like me, I know) and most were behind glass cabinets. What a trip with so many memories to enjoy! I hope you'll also enjoy seeing some of the shots I walked away with, and more will follow...no car shots today :))

I have something of an obsession with Flapjack. He's a character from a cartoon animation called 'The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack', which is actually brilliantly illustrated. Drawn with some lead things wrapped in wood and coloured in photoshop.

Want to see more of my HDRs? Then, you better check my HDR Set.
-------------------
Most of the time I posted an HDR with moving people and objects, I received inquiries as to how I achieved it. And usually being asked, "Is your HDR made up of a single shot or multiple shots?" And this is my reply.
First off, you may use RAW and create different exposures of your one shot using software e.g. Photoshop. There's a flickr group specifically that caters for HDRs from RAW.
You may obtain what I'm doing using that process.
However, mine is a little bit different. Lot of work is involved in my unique process but the result is excellent because I use 3 or 5 real shots to have a wider dynamic range covering the shadows, mid and highlights. With one shot, sometimes, it will not yield a good hdr.
But all the best with the RAW process.
And fuzzbox, I don't use LucisArt. Just Photomatix and Photoshop CS2. Could be another venture to look into, btw. I was asked beforehand and not sure if it was you. But, no at this time. I checked their website and they do have some pretty good images from their gallery.
Oh BTW, in response to m @ r i t e s s, it didn't rain and the ground was not really wet. It's part of the post processing I did that created this wet look of the walk of fame.
Thanks and cheers to all.

With the death this week of Patty Duke, I was looking through my old TV Guides for an old Patty Duke Show ad, and came across this one from the October 1-7, 1966 Minneapolis-St. Paul edition (when the show was in syndication), ironically placed next to an ad for Addams Family reruns. The parents of Sean and Mackenzie Astin, before they had anything to do with each other.
WTCN-TV was an independent station at the time, owned by Chris-Craft. Now known as KARE.
Side Pocket - Loree Jon Billiards on the Double-duce in Greenbrook, New Jersey
Back in the day, brother Bill and I used to shoot at Loree Jon Ogonowski's¹ place on 22. This is one of Bill's captures of me taking aim, just before banging the one ball in the side pocked, with enough draw to take the cue ball up table for my next shot at the seven in the corner.
Bill and I were so obsessed with "position", that we invented a new variation of "straight pool" that we called Po-pool, where the rule was to call "ball in pocket", for your NEXT shot (e.g. seven in the corner after the one in the side). So, you needed to know where the cue ball was going to wind up after each shot, in order to make your next shot. That pretty much put and end to big runs, and a run of 4 or 5 was considered a good run in Po-pool.
FYI - In Garwood, the Garwood Rest² and/or the Oakland House, was where you could find John Ogonowski (Loree Jon's father), and my father (a.k.a. Sawdust or Shorty) who were the two guys in town that pretty much drank for free (since if you won at 8-ball the looser had to buy you a drink)!
Part of the "free drink" plan was to get the winner so drunk he couldn't see straight enough to line up his shots. This didn't work with my dad, since he was was pretty much blind in one eye, so he had no issues with seeing double. Though, if you were willing to buy him 2 drinks, he'd surrender the table so you could shoot a game with a buddy.
¹ Loree Jon Ogonowski (born and raised in Garwood, NJ) was a childhood billiard playin' prodigy, that was (for a good part of her professional career) considered to be one of the best pool players (male or female) in the world.
² The Garwood Rest ("Where the beer is best!") was the bar in the film “The thing about my folks” where Peter Falk gets into a “bar fight” with a poor looser. And yeah, that was known to happen at “The Rest”, and my dad could attest to that!

She also studied abroad in Bolivia, Mexico and China.[9]
After graduating from college, Hoover moved to Taipei where she got her first job as a research assistant and editor in a Taiwanese law firm; she arrived on the day of the September 11 attacks. Quickly realizing she wanted to be back in the U.S., she returned home in 2002.[10][11]

Hoover is a conservative, with libertarian beliefs on issues of personal morality.[20][21] Hoover is an advocate for gay rights, including gay marriage, arguing that individual freedom and marriage are conservative values.[22] She has been profiled in The Advocate as "exactly the brand of straight ally we need right now".[23] In 2013, Hoover was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage in Hollingsworth v. Perry.[24]
Hoover is opposed to Donald Trump.[25] Before the 2020 election, she said, "I can't bring myself to vote for Donald Trump", adding that she would "quite likely" vote for Joe Biden instead, as she found the vote a "binary choice".[26]

ABOUT FIRING LINE
Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is a refreshing reprisal of William F. Buckley’s iconic PBS program, a smart, civil and engaging contest of ideas. The series maintains the character of the original, providing a platform that is diligent in its commitment to civility and the rigorous exchange of opinion. Firing Line with Margaret Hoover comes at a time when meaningful discourse is needed more than ever. Interviews and debates will highlight leading lights from the left and right, complemented by archival footage from the original Firing Line to remind viewers of longstanding conservative and liberal arguments, where they’ve been disproved or reinforced over time. It is an opportunity to engage in the debate about the America that we want to create for the 21st century — and summon Americans of every political persuasion to a rigorous examination of the choices we must make together in the challenging years ahead.

Spaceship Earth
Epcot - Walt Disney World
Orlando, FL
"But will these seemingly infinite communications become a flood of electronic babble? Or will we use this power to usher in a new age of understanding and cooperation on this... our Spaceship Earth?"
Spaceship Earth, 1994 Jeremy Irons narration
This is a very classic shot that's been done many times before, but after watching last night's reboot of COSMOS, I'm in a very classic EPCOT Center mood. I had seen promos for COSMOS before and had gotten a very EPCOT Center-y vibe from it, but last night's premiere blew me away. It was the perfect mix of education, entertainment, awe, wonder, inspiration, and hopeful optimism that EPCOT Center used to instill, and it made me realize how much I miss it.
Many people would argue that the EPCOT Center that so many of us found so inspirational - from 1982 to roughly 1994 or maybe a little later - is gone forever and that any fondness for today's Epcot is misplaced and driven purely by nostalgia. I won't deny that Future World is a far cry from what it could be, should be, and was originally intended to be, but I refuse to give up hope that the spirit of the EPCOT Center I grew up with could someday return.
I sometimes wonder if today's Disney executives truly appreciate how meaningful EPCOT Center was in so many childhoods, and how successful that approach could be again today if given the chance. For me, this is very personal, as my love of information science and technology (which is also my career field) is something that I attribute directly to EPCOT Center's influence on me at a young age.
One can keep hoping that EPCOT Center will one day return to its mission and vision of entertaining while educating, of inspiring wonder, hope, awe, and optimism. In the meantime, I invite you to check out COSMOS if you haven't already. EPCOT Center vibe aside, it's an incredibly well-made show that's not only informative but very entertaining. It airs again tonight on National Geographic at 10pm ET!
Thanks for your views, favs, and comments! Constructive criticism is always more than welcome!

In 1969, Sarandon went to a casting call for the motion-picture Joe, with her then-husband Chris Sarandon. Although he did not get a part, she was cast in a major role of a disaffected teen, who disappears into the seedy underworld.[clarification needed] (The film was released in 1970). Between the years 1970 and 1972, Sarandon played Patrice Kahlman on the short-lived soap opera A World Apart, and on Search for Tomorrow, in the role of Sarah Fairbanks. She appeared in Fleur bleue (The Apprentice) (1971) and also appeared in Lady Liberty (1971), by Mario Monicelli, opposite Sophia Loren.
In 1974, she co-starred in The Front Page, with the comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and Lovin' Molly with Anthony Perkins. She appeared in the cult favorite musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). That same year, she played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. In 1978, Sarandon played the mother of a child prostitute, who was played by Brooke Shields, in Pretty Baby.

Her most controversial film appearance[citation needed] was in The Hunger in 1983, a modern vampire story in which she had a lesbian sex scene with Catherine Deneuve. The film was a critical and commercial flop but gained a cult following.[citation needed] Sarandon played one of the leads in the 1987 dark comedy/fantasy film The Witches of Eastwick, opposite Jack Nicholson. Sarandon starred in the 1988 film Bull Durham, which became a huge commercial and critical success. In 1989, she co-starred with Marlon Brando in A Dry White Season.
Sarandon received five Academy Award nominations, for best actress, in Atlantic City (1980), Thelma & Louise (1991), Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and The Client (1994). In 1995, she won the award for her performance in Dead Man Walking.[citation needed]
Additional performances in film include Little Women (1994), Compromising Positions, Stepmom (1998), Anywhere but Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999), The Banger Sisters (2002), Shall We Dance (2004), Alfie (2004), Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Elizabethtown (2005) and Enchanted (2007).
Sarandon has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons, one as herself ("Bart Has Two Mommies") and another as a ballet teacher, "Homer vs. Patty and Selma". She has made appearances on comedies such as Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Mad TV, Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, 30 Rock, and Rescue Me.[citation needed]
Sarandon has contributed the narration to some two dozen documentary film, many of which dealt with social and political issues;[citation needed] in addition, she has served as the presenter on many installments of the PBS documentary series, Independent Lens. In 2007, she hosted and presented Mythos, a series of lectures by the late American mythology professor Joseph Campbell.[8]
Sarandon joined the cast of the adaptation of The Lovely Bones, opposite Rachel Weisz, and appeared with her daughter, Eva Amurri, in Middle of Nowhere; both of the movies were filmed in 2007.[9][10]
In June 2010, Sarandon joined the cast of new HBO pilot The Miraculous Year. She will play the role of Patty Atwood, a Broadway director/choreographer.[11]
[edit]Personal life
Sarandon began a relationship with fellow college student Chris Sarandon, in 1964, and they married on September 16, 1967.[12] After their separation, Sarandon discussed their relationship in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine in 1978, in which she stated "I no longer believe in marriage."[13] They divorced in 1979 and she retained Sarandon as her stage name.[14]
In the late 1970s, Sarandon had a two-year relationship with director Louis Malle, who directed her in Pretty Baby and Atlantic City.[12]
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated director Franco Amurri, with whom she had a daughter in 1985, actress Eva Amurri.[14]
From 1986 to 2009,[15] Sarandon was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while she filmed Bull Durham. They had two sons — Jack Henry (born 1989) and Miles Guthrie (born 1992).[14]
Sarandon and Robbins often worked together on the same social and political causes. In 2006, Sarandon received the Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.[16] She was honored for her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, an advocate for victims of hunger and HIV/AIDS and a spokesperson for Heifer International. Sarandon also participates as a member of the Jury for the NYICFF, a local New York City Film Festival that is dedicated to screening films for children between the ages of 3 and 18.[17] In 2006, Sarandon and 10 of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) travelled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.[5] In 2006, she also received the "Ragusani nel mondo" prize, since she had recently discovered her Sicilian roots, in Ragusa, Italy.
One of her favorite hobbies is playing table tennis. She is involved in a New York Table Tennis Club, Spin; a club that she frequents when she doesn't film.[18]
[edit]Political activism
Sarandon is noted for her active support of progressive and left-liberal political causes, ranging from donations made to organizations such as EMILY's List,[19] to participating in a 1983 delegation to Nicaragua sponsored by MADRE, an organization that promotes "social, environmental and economic justice."[20] Sarandon has also expressed support for various human rights causes that are similar philosophically to ideas found among the Christian left.[21]
In 1995, Sarandon was one of many Hollywood actors, directors and writers who were interviewed for the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which looked at how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuality. In 1999, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In that capacity, she has actively supported the organization's global advocacy, as well as the work of the Canadian UNICEF Committee.
Susan Sarandon in April 2007
During the 2000 election, Sarandon supported Ralph Nader's run for President, serving as a co-chair of the National Steering Committee of Nader 2000.[22]
During the 2004 election campaign, she withheld support for Nader's bid, being among several "Nader 2000 Leaders" who signed a petition that urged voters to vote for Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.[23] After the 2004 election, Sarandon called for US elections to be monitored by international entities.[24]
Sarandon and Robbins both took an early stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with Sarandon stating that she was firmly against the concept of the war as a pre-emptive strike.[25] Prior to a 2003 protest sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition, she said that many Americans "do not want to risk their children or the children of Iraq".[26] Sarandon was one of the first to appear in a series of political ads sponsored by TrueMajority, an organization established by Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream founder Ben Cohen.[27][28] Also in 2003, Sarandon appeared in a "Love is Love is Love" commercial, which promoted the acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
In 2004, she served on the advisory committee for the group 2004 Racism Watch.[29] She hosted a section of the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005. In 2006, she was one of eight women who were selected to carry in the Olympic flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, in Turin, Italy.
Along with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, Sarandon took part in a 2006 Mother's Day protest, which was sponsored by Code Pink;[30] she has expressed interest in portraying Sheehan in a movie.[31] In January 2007, she appeared with Robbins and Jane Fonda at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in support of a Congressional measure to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.[32]
In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Sarandon and Tim Robbins campaigned[33] for John Edwards in the New Hampshire communities of Hampton,[34] Bedford and Dover.[35] When asked at We Vote '08 Kickoff Party "What would Jesus do this primary season", Sarandon said, "I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."[36]
On March 12, 2011 Susan spoke before a crowd in Madison WI during a protest[37] of Governer Scott Walker and his "Budget Repair Bill".

Another series of posing in this outfit which might have still been in fashion when Pan Am began flying the 707 in 1958. This stewardess outfit was bought on ebay where seller listed it as theatrical quality, which it is. Though I had to squeeze into it (I could have used smaller breast forms but I didn't). The heels are probably too high but I am wearing a bra and girdle so compliant with the standards.
Back in the days of “coffee, tea, or me?” where cabin crew consisted of stewardesses, flight crew consisted of pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, and the aircraft had turbojet engines with no bypass that were loud and streamed huge amounts of smoke on takeoff. But they served meals, drinks, passengers can light up a smoke (yes, that smoking/non-smoking lighted sign had a purpose).
1-23-22 EDIT: I recently found couple articles about early Pan Am days particularly details I missed such as stewardesses have to wear girdles (which I do here), longline bras (I had regular bra), and short white gloves (which I did not). This means I need to do a reshoot (I sure wish I had a technical advisor on hand) with all the proper stuff. However some things like my uniform is not a proper fit (it has wrinkles because I have to squeeze into it but I don't want to go below a DD bra cup size). Also the official Pan Am uniforms had a certain blue color only Pan Am had.
Insightful articles I found such as “Pan Am flight attendants recall glamour, adventure” at www.eastbaytimes.com/2011/09/20/pan-am-flight-attendants-... where “we had to wear girdles and nylons and wear our hair a certain length.” And the Pan Am ladies said they remember how proud they felt in their blue uniforms walking in a group through the airport.
Another article about a TV series few years ago “From Pillbox Hat to Bullet Bra: The Anatomy of a Pan Am Stewardess Uniform” at www.tvguide.com/news/pan-am-stewardess-costume-1038550/ with details as for Pan Am star Christina Ricci, wearing the airline's iconic '60s flight attendant uniforms not only make her look the part, but also feel the part. And it all begins with squeezing into the historically accurate underwear. "We have these undergarments that we wear, a girdle and a longline bra," Ricci told reporters in September. "The girdle keeps you from being able to do anything boyish like run or jump or take any large flights of stairs. The longline is a bra attached to a mini-corset so it basically makes you stand up really, really straight. ... You have to walk like a lady at all times, so immediately you're just put into this mindset of 'I'm a lady. I sit a certain way. I walk a certain way.'"
In '63, you weren't allowed to have your hat too far on back of your head, and the hairstyle had to go with that. It was actually supposed to cross the hairline, sort of two fingers above the eyebrow was a perfect place for it to land.
The reason for the girdle was so that they didn't jiggle because it wasn't ladylike. The girdle just kept everything very, very close to the body and contained. And when you have a bullet bra on, which is a longline, you didn't want to be poking through your bra if it was cold if you know what I mean. So, those bras were thicker than what we have today. With those bullet bras, you have to stand straight or else you look silly and it ruins the line.
Stockings were to be worn at all times. They just wanted a subtle, beautiful color on the legs. A dark color wasn't desired because it's too fashion-y or too flashy, too tawdry. It's always sort of rounding back to the not being ladylike effect.

Susan Sarandon
A text from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Sarandon (born October 4, 1946) is an American actress. She has worked in films and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. She had also been nominated for the award for four films before that and has received other recognition for her work. She is also noted for her social and political activism for a variety of liberal causes.
Early life
Sarandon, the eldest of nine children in a Roman Catholic[1] family, was born as Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York City, as the daughter of Leonora Marie (née Criscione) and Phillip Leslie Tomalin (26 September 1917 – 26 March 1999), who worked as an advertising executive, television producer, and nightclub singer during the big band era.[2][3] Sarandon's father was of English, Irish and Welsh ancestry, and her Italian American mother's ancestors emigrated from the regions of Tuscany and Sicily.[2][4][5] Sarandon attended Roman Catholic schools.[1] She grew up in Edison, New Jersey,[6][7] where she graduated from Edison High School in 1964. She then attended The Catholic University of America, from 1964 to 1968, and earned a BA in drama and worked with noted drama coach and master teacher, Father Gilbert V. Hartke.
[edit]Career
In 1969, Sarandon went to a casting call for the motion-picture Joe, with her then-husband Chris Sarandon. Although he did not get a part, she was cast in a major role of a disaffected teen, who disappears into the seedy underworld.[clarification needed] (The film was released in 1970). Between the years 1970 and 1972, Sarandon played Patrice Kahlman on the short-lived soap opera A World Apart, and on Search for Tomorrow, in the role of Sarah Fairbanks. She appeared in Fleur bleue (The Apprentice) (1971) and also appeared in Lady Liberty (1971), by Mario Monicelli, opposite Sophia Loren.
In 1974, she co-starred in The Front Page, with the comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and Lovin' Molly with Anthony Perkins. She appeared in the cult favorite musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). That same year, she played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. In 1978, Sarandon played the mother of a child prostitute, who was played by Brooke Shields, in Pretty Baby.

Her most controversial film appearance[citation needed] was in The Hunger in 1983, a modern vampire story in which she had a lesbian sex scene with Catherine Deneuve. The film was a critical and commercial flop but gained a cult following.[citation needed] Sarandon played one of the leads in the 1987 dark comedy/fantasy film The Witches of Eastwick, opposite Jack Nicholson. Sarandon starred in the 1988 film Bull Durham, which became a huge commercial and critical success. In 1989, she co-starred with Marlon Brando in A Dry White Season.
Sarandon received five Academy Award nominations, for best actress, in Atlantic City (1980), Thelma & Louise (1991), Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and The Client (1994). In 1995, she won the award for her performance in Dead Man Walking.[citation needed]
Additional performances in film include Little Women (1994), Compromising Positions, Stepmom (1998), Anywhere but Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999), The Banger Sisters (2002), Shall We Dance (2004), Alfie (2004), Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Elizabethtown (2005) and Enchanted (2007).
Sarandon has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons, one as herself ("Bart Has Two Mommies") and another as a ballet teacher, "Homer vs. Patty and Selma". She has made appearances on comedies such as Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Mad TV, Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, 30 Rock, and Rescue Me.[citation needed]
Sarandon has contributed the narration to some two dozen documentary film, many of which dealt with social and political issues;[citation needed] in addition, she has served as the presenter on many installments of the PBS documentary series, Independent Lens. In 2007, she hosted and presented Mythos, a series of lectures by the late American mythology professor Joseph Campbell.[8]
Sarandon joined the cast of the adaptation of The Lovely Bones, opposite Rachel Weisz, and appeared with her daughter, Eva Amurri, in Middle of Nowhere; both of the movies were filmed in 2007.[9][10]
In June 2010, Sarandon joined the cast of new HBO pilot The Miraculous Year. She will play the role of Patty Atwood, a Broadway director/choreographer.[11]
[edit]Personal life
Sarandon began a relationship with fellow college student Chris Sarandon, in 1964, and they married on September 16, 1967.[12] After their separation, Sarandon discussed their relationship in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine in 1978, in which she stated "I no longer believe in marriage."[13] They divorced in 1979 and she retained Sarandon as her stage name.[14]
In the late 1970s, Sarandon had a two-year relationship with director Louis Malle, who directed her in Pretty Baby and Atlantic City.[12]
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated director Franco Amurri, with whom she had a daughter in 1985, actress Eva Amurri.[14]
From 1986 to 2009,[15] Sarandon was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while she filmed Bull Durham. They had two sons — Jack Henry (born 1989) and Miles Guthrie (born 1992).[14]
Sarandon and Robbins often worked together on the same social and political causes. In 2006, Sarandon received the Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.[16] She was honored for her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, an advocate for victims of hunger and HIV/AIDS and a spokesperson for Heifer International. Sarandon also participates as a member of the Jury for the NYICFF, a local New York City Film Festival that is dedicated to screening films for children between the ages of 3 and 18.[17] In 2006, Sarandon and 10 of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) travelled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.[5] In 2006, she also received the "Ragusani nel mondo" prize, since she had recently discovered her Sicilian roots, in Ragusa, Italy.
One of her favorite hobbies is playing table tennis. She is involved in a New York Table Tennis Club, Spin; a club that she frequents when she doesn't film.[18]
[edit]Political activism
Sarandon is noted for her active support of progressive and left-liberal political causes, ranging from donations made to organizations such as EMILY's List,[19] to participating in a 1983 delegation to Nicaragua sponsored by MADRE, an organization that promotes "social, environmental and economic justice."[20] Sarandon has also expressed support for various human rights causes that are similar philosophically to ideas found among the Christian left.[21]
In 1995, Sarandon was one of many Hollywood actors, directors and writers who were interviewed for the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which looked at how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuality. In 1999, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In that capacity, she has actively supported the organization's global advocacy, as well as the work of the Canadian UNICEF Committee.
Susan Sarandon in April 2007
During the 2000 election, Sarandon supported Ralph Nader's run for President, serving as a co-chair of the National Steering Committee of Nader 2000.[22]
During the 2004 election campaign, she withheld support for Nader's bid, being among several "Nader 2000 Leaders" who signed a petition that urged voters to vote for Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.[23] After the 2004 election, Sarandon called for US elections to be monitored by international entities.[24]
Sarandon and Robbins both took an early stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with Sarandon stating that she was firmly against the concept of the war as a pre-emptive strike.[25] Prior to a 2003 protest sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition, she said that many Americans "do not want to risk their children or the children of Iraq".[26] Sarandon was one of the first to appear in a series of political ads sponsored by TrueMajority, an organization established by Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream founder Ben Cohen.[27][28] Also in 2003, Sarandon appeared in a "Love is Love is Love" commercial, which promoted the acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
In 2004, she served on the advisory committee for the group 2004 Racism Watch.[29] She hosted a section of the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005. In 2006, she was one of eight women who were selected to carry in the Olympic flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, in Turin, Italy.
Along with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, Sarandon took part in a 2006 Mother's Day protest, which was sponsored by Code Pink;[30] she has expressed interest in portraying Sheehan in a movie.[31] In January 2007, she appeared with Robbins and Jane Fonda at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in support of a Congressional measure to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.[32]
In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Sarandon and Tim Robbins campaigned[33] for John Edwards in the New Hampshire communities of Hampton,[34] Bedford and Dover.[35] When asked at We Vote '08 Kickoff Party "What would Jesus do this primary season", Sarandon said, "I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."[36]
On March 12, 2011 Susan spoke before a crowd in Madison WI during a protest[37] of Governer Scott Walker and his "Budget Repair Bill".

Vida pessoal
Susan é filha de Phillip Leslie Tomalin, que tinha ascendência irlandesa, inglesa e galesa, e de Lenora Marie Criscione, uma italiana nascida em Ragusa, Sicília. Ela cresceu numa grande família católica de nove filhos. Graduou-se em 1964 pela Edison High School e estudou na Universidade Católica da América, em Washington DC, onde bacharelou-se em Artes.
Enquanto estava na faculdade, Susan conheceu Chris Sarandon, com quem se casou em setembro de 1967. Eles se divorciaram em 1979 e ela continuou a usar "Sarandon" como seu nome artístico. Na metade dos anos 80, ela namorou o diretor italiano Franco Amurri, com quem teve uma filha, a atriz Eva Amurri. Também namorou o ator Sean Penn e o diretor Louis Malle.
Desde 1988, Sarandon vive com o ator Tim Robbins, a quem ela conheceu nas filmagens de Bull Durham. O casal teve dois filhos: Jack Henry e Miles Guthrie. Tanto ela quanto Robbins estão envolvidos em causas políticas socialistas.
No dia 23 de dezembro de 2009, o casal anunciou sua separação, publicada pela revista People.

Michelle Pfeiffer, early in her career, played a minor character named Bombshell in the short-lived ABC sitcom "Delta House," based on National Lampoon's Animal House. It lasted only from mid-January to late April 1979, but included some of the same actors from "Animal House." Michelle appeared in the show's opening but her name only appeared in the closing credits.
In this particular episode, Hoover dreams he marries Bombshell, and she ends up becoming a frumpy, chain-smoking housewife and they have a bunch of bratty kids.
"What's Happening!!" also featured in the ad, was nearing the end of its run as well, but "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island" remained for many years. From the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition TV Guide, April 7-13, 1979.
My Big Bang Theory art is featured as a three page pull-out in the special Comic Con edition of TV Guide Magazine available now on newsstands.
I always suspected there was something going on between Mary Ann and Gilligan. One can't reasonably assume the only relations on that island were between the Howells.

Well, I liked Rowan and Martin as a kid (my dad would let me watch, much to my mom's chagrin), and I don't recall ever doing a TV Guide cover, and I loved the title of the article by Isaac Asimov.
I had to do this pic!

"no sexy time before marriage
we know our Born Again souls had found their mate
they thought us foolish and fucking whackjobs
but we knew that it was fate.
my Connie, my Concetta
my glorious bearer of light.
i will be your Greatest American Hero
you will be my Entertainment Tonight"

Hard to believe the 70s decade began 50 years ago! Here are covers of two TV Guides in my collection from the start of the 70s.
The predictions in the January 3-9 1970 issue - which did happen during the 70s or not long after - Cable TV will take on a bigger role but not yet reach its full potential, larger more powerful satellites will be used by networks to distribute programs to stations and someday directly to homes, home video players becoming available and later in the decade affordable video recorders. There was a prediction for two-way video phone through your TV, an outgrowth of Bell Telephone's Picturephone, which never did materialize (and Picturephone never became popular).
Minneapolis-St. Paul edition TV Guide ad for the syndicated series Tallahassee 7000 starring Walter Matthau on KMSP-TV Channel 9, scheduled to begin on the station on April 18, 1961, the week the station became an ABC affiliate. 26 episodes were produced on location in Florida by Screen Gems, and Matthau, doing this show early in his career, used a southern accent for his character.
Rare ad for defunct UHF television station KQTV Channel 21 in Fort Dodge, Iowa, from the Iowa edition of TV Guide, July 11-17, 1959. They were an NBC affiliate but did not carry a number of NBC shows at the time, including the Today Show with Dave Garroway or the Tonight Show with Jack Paar. The station, later known as KVFD, was knocked off the air in a tornado in May 1977 during a broadcast of NBC's "Grizzly Adams" and never returned to the air. The station had only recently moved to Channel 50. Iowa Public Television later occupied Channel 21.
Shown on KQTV's Late Late Show on the Saturday of this ad was "The Monster from the Ocean Floor" (1954).
Premiering on Monday, January 6, 1975, ABC's new morning show, AM America, hosted by Bill Beutel and Stephanie Edwards, along with news with Peter Jennings. The show was cancelled at the end of October, replaced with Good Morning America with former actor David Hartman (fresh off an NBC prime time show called "Lucas Tanner") and Nancy Dussault..
