Re: Harold Ramis RIP

The initial few series of SCTV were shot in Toronto, at the Global Network's studio at 21 Barber Greene Road. I used to see the performers hanging out for dinners together, most often at Mr. Greenjeans. (Not at its current location (or even state of food), I think it was on Adelaide in the 1970s). I...

I thought the understanding was that the bomb incident where Harold lost his fingers occurred during production of this film and that that could be verified by the fact of seeing Harold with and...

Re: Lost Keaton

I think I noticed one blooper on the set: In the stills section there is a photo of Myra Keaton that is identified as coming from Palooka from Paducah. I think the still is actually from Myra's appearance in Way up Thar. It might actually be the same dress in the closing scenes from both films but I...

Re: Billy Bevan on Matinee with Bob & Ray - Nov 17, 1949

To listen, go to this page:

http://always-share-otr.ca/OTR%20Lists/ ... 20Ray.html

and then select the Dec 25, 1948 show (it's really the Nov 17, 1949 show mislabeled). The interview starts at about 6 minutes in.
