you won't see a Ford badge on an Aston
Martin :-)


Never said you would.
But it is part of the Ford Motor Company's Premier Auto Group. I 
occasionally see Aston prototypes running around Dearborn.


BTW, do you know the derivation of the V12 motor in the Aston?

Jack Roush did the prototype work for a show car, the GT90 in which he 
furnace brazed two 3.0L V6 Duratec engines.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, Cotty (did I actually say

In fact, what he is, is a "professional celebrity".  He's got not
discernable talent, but he's famous for who he is (or "was" - he's
dead, no?).

Kind of reminds me of Zsa-Zsa Gabor.  I could never figure out what
she did to be famous.  A couple of really bad B movies?  Married a
celebrity or four?  Is that enough to make her famous?  Well, maybe,
but the fact is she became a professional celebrity.  Game shows, talk
shows, in the tabloids;  not for talent or accomplishments, just for
~who~ she is.

I think guys like Nimoy, while not as extreme as Zsa-Zsa, come close
to that category.  I mean, riding on the coat-tails of a mediocre 40
year old sci-fi tv show that lasted, what, a 3 seasons?  

cheers,

That's pretty clever.  Considering that starting out in acting doesn't
guarantee much income, it was pretty shrewd of him to find a way to get a

He's published a few volumes of poetry as well, although I've not read any,
and can't comment on the quality.  But, regardless, he's a busy guy, and
most of us would be very happy to have such a dead career or careers!),
more so at his age.

Time for a funny story from me.

A couple of years ago I filmed a Bond double (Sean Connery lookalike)
and he worked closely with Connery through most of the 007 films. He
told me that Connery became such a big star that he overshadowed most
directors, and as hapless candidates were dragged in to get on with it,
scenarios like this soon emerged:

Connery:  So what are my scenes today?

Would-be de Mille: Well Sean, this morning we have two scenes with you -
the fight in the factory and the shots of you stealing the car, and this
afternoon we have four scenes, mostly the ones of you in the undergrowth
watching Blofeld and then in his swimming pool and -

Connery: Ahh - Actually, I'll tell you what, we'll do all my scenes this
morning my dear fellow.

Would-be: - er, yes, I suppose we could do that

Connery: Excellent.


That afternoon, Mr Connery would be at the nearest golf club until tea time.

True!

  Cotty

His career is hardly dead.  I wanted to do an article about him and  
his photography, but every time I talked to his publicist he was away  
somewhere directing a new movie.  He has moved behind the camera.



He may not be as visible as he once was, but he's been directing and
producing, doing TV commercials, has his photography (some of which  
I've
seen and which is quite well done, IMO), and he's been on Celebrity  
Poker

with Dr.Phil and Paris Hilton.  OK, I made up that last part 



I don't imagine he would have the patience for Paris Hilton, unless  
it was to bitch slap her.

He was on Star Trek. His career is entirely based on that fact (Depsite 
having done some other stuff) Ergo he's a celebrity, not an actor.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, Cotty (did I actually say
that Cotty made a salient point? )

In fact, what he is, is a "professional celebrity".  He's got not
discernable talent, but he's famous for who he is (or "was" - he's
dead, no?).

Kind of reminds me of Zsa-Zsa Gabor.  I could never figure out what
she did to be famous.  A couple of really bad B movies?  Married a
celebrity or four?  Is that enough to make her famous?  Well, maybe,
but the fact is she became a professional celebrity.  Game shows, talk
shows, in the tabloids;  not for talent or accomplishments, just for
~who~ she is.

I think guys like Nimoy, while not as extreme as Zsa-Zsa, come close
to that category.  I mean, riding on the coat-tails of a mediocre 40
year old sci-fi tv show that lasted, what, a 3 seasons?  

cheers,
frank

He's an actor, not a "celebrity".  Or a singer.  I'd _much_ rather
