Lost Opportunities

 

Morning

Marilyn Monroe would've turned 100-years old on Monday. The Fringe Festival here begins tonight. My buddy wrote a short play --- it's like a lost interview done on the sound stage during the filming of Something's Got to Give, the film she was working on at the time of her death. I told my buddy to enter his play in the festival. It would be perfect timing. He didn't.

A still from the film

Lost opportunities. Ah, well.

Meanwhile, imagine my surprise --- when visiting Rick's blog the other day --- to see a photo of myself from the 70s outside of the theatre in downtown Omaha. 



That's me at the door. Can't remember the other folks. Can't remember which show.






Have a good day.

Love the photo!
What a treasure. It looks oddly contemporary.
And I posted about Marilyn too! What are the odds?

XOXO

Great photo of you... time flies... looks like about the time I was helping someone deliver a car to someone in Denver and we stopped in Lincoln for some R&R (no photo evidence of that trip)

Omg!!!! I remember the picture too!!!! And yes...i can so see your delicious sizable bugle!!!! I would have totally slept with you! I liked the chest too in addition to the mischievous handsome looks.

I saw the last two movies of a Monroe manthron when I got home on Sunday... I believe TMC was running movies in honor of her.

With what looks like a cigarette dangling from your right hand?

Oooo.... Lincoln. Strange little city. Folks used to drive from there into Omaha to see shows.

whkattk said...

Aww, thanks!

whkattk said...

Legend is putting it mildly.... One of a kind.

whkattk said...

LOL. Oh, you devil, you!

I skipped the marathon. Most are available streaming.

whkattk said...

Aww, thanks.

whkattk said...

Thanks, Rick!

whkattk said...

Yep, it was a cigarette. Oddly enough, many of us smoked --- and still managed to dance and sing. LOL

Rade said...

Well! Weren't you just the hot number! I DID catch that photo on his blog! Adored by millions!

Trey said...

CAAZ said...

That must have been quite the surprise. Damn, hot, hot and more hot, was that a gun you were packin', lol. Eye popping bulge for sure.

Adored by millions...decades later. LOL

whkattk said...

LOL. Well, ya know.... 🤷‍♂️

whkattk said...

True. It's a lot of work to attain and then maintain that, and we love sharing the culture with others.

So fine -- whkattk, you'd have been a definite obsession for me back in the '70s, irresistable and hawt as hell. Quite the tasty-looking basket and chesticles (I have a thing for prominent nipples). Thanks for a great photo to go with your persona here -- I can appreciate this blog all the more, now that I have an idea of how studly the proprietor is!

whkattk said...

Thanks, Mark. Oh, that I still looked that way in my 70s as I did in the 70s. LOL
