There Goes Another One

[DHBirr]

And something is wrong with Yuku or my clottin' new computer's OS, because I couldn't get the link into my text as it should go.

Works fine for me... and yet another hat-over-heart moment. Garner may never have been an A-Lister, but he was, as the linked article says, a legend. Definitely one of the greats.

I do remember those Polaroid commercials. You would think from the way they acted they were husband and wife.

Millions did. Sometimes, the "Viewers Are Morons" trope fits, as sad as it might be.

Say, what is Mariette Hartley doing these days?

According to her Wikipedia page, she's doing The Lion in Winter.

Not so moronic. The acting and chemistry was very good. Plus, when you have stage names common in Hollywood still in that time period (the studio system was still there in the 70's.), if they act like husband and wife, they must be husband and wife. A very good series of commericals. Alas, polaroid has gone the way of the dodo.

Not quite: there are still *digital* Polaroid Instamatics. O.o
