You're the original man of honor, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armor...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems.Joel Monkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631333436948102576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-10161589161531255952007-03-07T03:34:00.000-08:002007-03-07T03:34:00.000-08:00Did Amanda Blake's saloon-keepercharacter on "Guns...Did Amanda Blake's saloon-keeper<BR/>character on "Gunsmoke" become entirely irrelevant with the advent of ms. magazine? You combine different directions in the label of your persona, not accidentally I am sure. I have never seen Carol Lombard, and occasionally felt that I had missed something. But such people strike me as unreal, compared e.g.<BR/>to my (ex-) mother in law, who as a diplomat's wife pretended to be the lover of a French resistance <BR/>leader while gathering information for the US in Marseilles in early WW II, went with her husband into internment in Nazi Germany, dealt with his occasional peccadilloes with style, although they hurt, and died only a few years ago, feeling that it was time. <BR/> LinguistFriendLinguistFriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695715246663202212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-65064973553096525112007-03-06T18:49:00.000-08:002007-03-06T18:49:00.000-08:00Wowee, welcome to the limelight, sister!Wowee, welcome to the limelight, sister!Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-88039923751923720612007-03-06T18:06:00.000-08:002007-03-06T18:06:00.000-08:00I was Jean Arthur.
