I wanted some of that spunk for myself and was quite sure she should have thrown over that priggish Roper fellow for someone who could appreciate her non-intellectual virtues. Later, when I saw The Shoot Horses, I was amazed at the actress who played the platinum blond, but couldn't see the credits because my annoying date wanted to talk about the history behind the movie (certainly didn't marry that one). Outside, I studied the poster and discovered the actress was Susannah. That has since been my measure of great acting, that I should have lusted after a girl in one movie and not even known who she was in the next.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103365805251679013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31771970.post-75511761489451414772011-01-15T22:29:53.789-06:002011-01-15T22:29:53.789-06:00Joe, I am beginning to think that you have met -- ...Joe, I am beginning to think that you have met -- not to mention lusted for -- just about every actress who ever graced the screen.
