From IMDB:
Quote
Throughout the filming, Doris Day became increasingly concerned that Sir Alfred Hitchcock paid more attention to camera set-ups, lighting, and technical matters than he did to her performance. Convinced that he was displeased with her work, she finally confronted him. His reply was, "My dear Miss Day, if you weren't giving me what I wanted, then I would have to direct you!

Wow 97. I had no idea of her age. She was a very good singer, nice phrasing. (hated Que Sera Sera though) I think of her fondly because at a certain point in her life, my mom resembled her. When I see the Day of the 1950's and 60's I remember my mom.

Then there is the Pink Martini version. It was used for the pilot of "Dead Like Me" and is creepy. A sort of fusion with the Mephisto Waltz.

Yeah, that. For years after my father died I couldn't watch anything with James Garner because they looked disturbingly alike.
The way a lot of catastrophes happen is that X doesn't occur because there are safeguards in place, therefore people assume X isn't a worry and they remove the safeguards. Then X happens.

10 buildings of I.M. pei. I was familiar with the one at the Louvre, but not the others. Or at least who the architect was.

This would be a better list if they had the captions correctly matched to the pictures! The Art Museum at Cornell is identified as the Smithsonian, and it looks like (but not 100% sure) that there are other mix-ups as well.

Herman Wouk, age 103, author of The Caine Mutiny and many bestsellers that were turned into movies and tv miniseries... I spent a lot of hours reading his books. Unbeknownst to me at the time I read it, Marjorie Morningstar introduced me to the sort of New York Jewish life that I would later see first hand when I met and married.
