...once torpedoing off it and landing on the drummer in the orchestra pit. (Rim shot.) Life with Hutton was just as perilous in Hollywood. She cracked three ribs getting tossed about by acrobats in the movie Incendiary Blonde. Her exuberance often injured her co-stars; she knocked out one actor, made another faint away, separated Hope's caps from his teeth. "When they work with me," she told TIME, "they gotta get insurance policies...
...Ferrell to expose this slab of flank might be deemed inappropriate at best, sadistic at worst. But because he does it without the requisite shame, it's funny, since the actor is usually playing guys who are cocooned in, and sustained by, an utterly unwarranted belief in themselves.

...serious potential challenger, is in a way the most manifestly Reaganite of all. In the two weeks since the Thompson boomlet began, many times I've heard conservative friends consider Thompson's merits (which are real) and then - chuckling, but almost dispositively - add, "The last time we nominated an actor, it didn't turn out badly...
