...long as I’m not a filler player,” Farkes says. “If I get a legitimate chance to go out and play, then I’d jump at it. Because it’s been my dream since I was a kid, and I just hope I get the chance to do it again this year...
...small help to Mr. Williams"), Eleven years later she was another housekeeper in the Ross Hunter production Portrait in Black, this time supporting Anthony Quinn, who had done small roles in her late-30s Paramount films.

Tommyland, written with journalist Anthony Bozza, is not all killer--in fact there's quite a bit of filler--but the good stuff is as good as the gold in Goldschlger. Lee's account of the four months he spent in solitary confinement--spousal abuse was the charge--conveys genuine suffering. He drums on the bars and talks to the cockroaches and drinks gross prison moonshine. You also have...
