Poor Jayne. Her life ended like an episode of "Law and Order S.V.U.," except that it, fortunately, didn't star her daughter, Mariska Hargitay.

Or an episode of one of my VERY FAVORITE HBO series SIX FEET UNDER where in the opening sequence a woman riding down the street in a limo decides to stand up and stick her head out the sun roof and most unfortunately

OFF WITH HER HEAD!

Yes, Mr. E, every episode started off with a bizarre death which made this series all the more delectable ... in a macabre sort of way!

If you have NETFLIX and have any interest in archeology, by all means watch THE DIG based on a true story with a magnificent Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes alluringly filmed in the British countryside set in a pre~war 1939 England [4K/Dolby Vision/DD 5.1]

She actually kept her head but not her blood volume, if I recall correctly.

Ralphie, have you seen the stage musical “Six”?

Sounds a bit like the “Final Exit” series. Still on my bucket list, alas.

Six Feet Under is on your bucket list, even if it isn't. In fact, it's the bucket.

 

[Rhinojack]

I own the complete Six Feet Under series box set that has "grass" fuzz on the top. It also includes a soundtrack CD of songs used throughout. I've watched it probably three times now since the late-2000's. An exceptional series with probably the best finale ever for a TV show.

Another classic Hollywood photo: when Sophia Loren met Jayne Mansfield and the twins.

The Modern Family remake:

Everybody looks at Gloria like that. Imagine having her as your stepmother!

While working on a film together, the Farrelly brothers referred to her as “Sophia Viagra.”

But does Sophia have a 160 IQ like Jayne Mansfield and play the violin .... Read on, Mr. E!

In the meantime, while waiting for June 20th to arrive, Ralphie will simply have to be satisfied with rescreenings of “Entertaining Mr. Sloane” and “Gods and Monsters.” Note that we haven’t strayed too far in thematic material from “Suddenly Last Summer.”

Perhaps so Ralphie, but neither of those talents are recognized as being significant parts of her legacy(just like moviegoers don’t know or care that Dolph Lundgren is equally gifted in the intellect department).

LOVED Gods and Monsters, Mr. E ..... and the idea of Brendan Frasier [a far cry from his role in THE WHALE] serving as director James Whale's Gardner ...slash...Boi Toi! Have yet to see Entertaining Mr. Sloane....my bad!

GODS AND MONSTERS .... A WHALE OF A TALE

I still think his best role was opposite Michael Cain in The Quiet American.

He's also amazing in Condor, the TV series remake of 3 Days if The Condor.

He’s come a long way from George Of The Jungle and The Mummy. And apparently, he’s not finished yet!

Here's a film I've just learned existed.

Apparently, Simon, that $70M went to salaries for the mega stars! Very weird!
