I usually check their schedule but I didn't have time today.

What a line up -can't wait to tape all them.

Bogie!

What a great actor and interesting person, albeit a sad man, ergo the booze.

He was very intelligent and literary, loving to hang out with intellectuals, writers and creative people.
Quite a good chess player, too.

He came from a very well to do family with nannies, beautiful summer home - that's where he learned to sail from his physician dad and developed a lifelong love for sailing and being on the ocean - this was his solace from the world. The only place he was content.

He never felt he was a very good actor and 'always denigrated the profession as so much silly child's play. Just the opposite in my opinion - he was a wonderful and acted with great sensitivity and honesty
