That was awesome, David.


"The Victorians delicately referred to her as "La Grande Horizontele."

"Homicidal temper; carried a whip. One of the most outrageous women of her time."

"So did her temper. When a man annoyed her, she typically would slash him across the face with the whip she always carried. On one occasion when a lover proved to be disappointing, she fired her pistol at the luckless romeo as he dodged ricocheting bullets while escaping down the street with his pants around his knees. But, on first meeting, she was charming, very charming"


Nice.

[David]

David - George Sanders. :cool:AAAHH!! I just saw him in "Strange Woman" with Hedy Lamarr, directed by Edgar G. Ulmer!!

Nice.You can see her home in Nevada City in the Sierra Nevada Foothills & take a tour of it!

[David]

What, no Dissention? :shrug: Dissention -- Everett Dean Martin


Here's a related question: Which famous person in history would you want others to think of you as?

For me, it's Edmund Wilson.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Thank God you didn't say Marie Antoinette. When we had to pick French names back in school, my teacher allowed everyone else to pick their own but refused to let me pick mine citing I reminded her of Marie.

[cliffdweller]

Here's a related question: Which famous person in history would you want others to think of you as?

Joni Mitchell. I think my tongue's sharp enough, and I like irregular tunings :laugh:.

That doesn't bode well for you my dear :laugh:.

Dissention -- Everett Dean Martin

LMAO :laugh:

I don't know whether I should slap you or kiss you.

[strandinthewind]

LMAO :laugh:

I don't know whether I should slap you or kiss you.


Well, I was gonna say Elmer Fudd :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo:

I, of course, am either Suzanne Sugarbaker or Belle Watlin' :laugh:

I do have a lot of Cary Grant/Gregory Peck in me though :eek: :laugh:

[Dark Angel]

Dark Angel -- Thurgood Marshall

After reading up on him, I seriously don't see that comparison. :shrug:

As I sit here wondering why I'm the only female who's historical counterpart was a male... :confused:

[GardenStateGirlie]

That doesn't bode well for you my dear :laugh:.

Tell me about it!! I was like, great, this is what you think of me? She's like, no no no..i don't mean it in a bad way. Not a clue. Of course, if you were to compare me to a Queen, i'd prefer Elizabeth I, thanks.

[Dreammms]

After reading up on him, I seriously don't see that comparison. :shrug:

hey at least you got on his list
male or not :D

[cliffdweller]

Dissention -- Everett Dean Martin

No way, Dissention = Paul Lynde! I am totally laughing my ass off.

[dissention]

No way, Dissention = Paul Lynne! I am totally laughing my ass off.

From Hollywood Squares? :lol:

[cliffdweller]

From Hollywood Squares? :lol:

yeah, except his name is Lynde--had to edit it. You know, he was on Bewitched too. Still lmao...

[strandinthewind]

No way, Dissention = Paul Lynde! I am totally laughing my ass off.


Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding :laugh:

[ryan8472]

I have no idea what famous person I'm like. :shrug:

Apparently, I look like John Cusak though (according to you all) :laugh:

No way, Dissention = Paul Lynde! I am totally laughing my ass off.
Wow, I got Dissention = Napoleon. strange.

[strandinthewind]

You could be the character he played in about 10 teen movies in the 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GardenStateGirlie]

Wow, I got Dissention = Napoleon. strange.

DING DING DING DING DING DING!! :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

Wow, I got Dissention = Napolean. strange.

:laugh: it's funny how people can have two totally different impressions of the same person. And anyway, Diss has a MUCH better sense of humour than Napolean! Come on! :laugh: And he's MUCH more queeny.

[amber]

DING DING DING DING DING DING!! :laugh:

I have now corrected my spelling, if you want to edit your post.... :laugh:

:laugh: it's funny how people can have two totally different impressions of the same person. And anyway, Diss has a MUCH better sense of humour than Napolean! Come on! :laugh: And he's MUCH more queeny.

And MUCH taller. :laugh:

[David]

After reading up on him, I seriously don't see that comparison. :shrug:

As I sit here wondering why I'm the only female who's historical counterpart was a male... :confused:The male/female distinction is unimportant. Marshall left a lasting legacy of speaking out for the underdog & the underprivileged, & of securing justice & a fair shake for all.

[amber]

:laugh: it's funny how people can have two totally different impressions of the same person. And anyway, Diss has a MUCH better sense of humour than Napolean! Come on! :laugh: And he's MUCH more queeny.
Oh, I didn't even think of his sense of humour. I guess others probably think he is funnier than I do. I'm sure it is much better than Napoleon's though, you must be right about that!!!
More Queeny? Can't say, haven't met him....

[GardenStateGirlie]

Thus, he is an Empress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh to see him redo Mal Maison :laugh:

I would pay. Seriously :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

And MUCH taller. :laugh:

Well let's hope so...:laugh:

And MUCH cattier. Meow. :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

More Queeny? Can't say, haven't met him....

Either have I but c'mon...total Queen ;)

[ryan8472]

Plz. Diss = Bea Arthur. :p :laugh:

[GateandGarden]

After reading up on him, I seriously don't see that comparison. :shrug:

As I sit here wondering why I'm the only female who's historical counterpart was a male... :confused:Oh well. I don't see any real relation between me and Katherine Graham, either. I think David just wanted us all to know that he can make a big list of historical figures and that he knows who they all are. :cool:

[amber]

Either have I but c'mon...total Queen ;)
I hear he does do a mean drag thingy, so maybe you're right...still.

[cliffdweller]

More Queeny? Can't say, haven't met him....

The tone Amber, the TONE! It's like it jumps off the screen at me. I feel weird talking about Josh like he's not here. Hi Josh! :wavey: :laugh:

After thinking about this...way more than I probably should have....I realized, you're pretty much on target with that one. :sorry: :o

Oh, the tone is always more Napoleonic, to me. I've always thought of his tone as pretty masculine, but then, I never supply the "queeny voice" for anyone.... :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

[trackaghost]

trackaghost -- Catherine, Tsarina of Old Russia



Not Catherine the Great then?

But I guess I came out of that pretty well, I take it to mean I'm like a monarch around here! :laugh:

Aww....I was so pretty back then.....and still am!

Strandie - John Locke

No way. Strand = Suzanne Sugarbaker! :laugh::laugh: I would say Delta Burke, but I have a feeling she's not like her character and Strand would never marry Gerald MacRaney :laugh:.

[skcin]

I never supply the "queeny voice" for anyone.... :laugh:


Not even when Jason wrote about Curtis screaming "I'm a french fry! I'm a french fry!" :laugh:

Sesly - Diss IS Bea Arthur. Good one!

[GypsySorcerer]

No way. Strand = Suzanne Sugarbaker! :laugh::laugh: I would say Delta Burke, but I have a feeling she's not like her character and Strand would never marry Gerald MacRaney :laugh:.

Strandie could be Mae West. Now we just need to find him a W.C. Fields. :laugh:

John Locke
John Locke (b. 1632, d. 1704) was a British philosopher, Oxford academic and medical researcher, whose association with Anthony Ashley Cooper (later the First Earl of Shaftesbury) led him to become successively a government official charged with collecting information about trade and colonies, economic writer, opposition political activist, and finally a revolutionary whose cause ultimately triumphed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Much of Locke's work is characterized by opposition to authoritarianism. This opposition is both on the level of the individual person and on the level of institutions such as government and church. For the individual, Locke wants each of us to use reason to search after truth rather than simply accept the opinion of authorities or be subject to superstition. He wants us to proportion assent to propositions to the evidence for them. On the level of institutions it becomes important to distinguish the legitimate from the illegitimate functions of institutions and to make the corresponding distinction for the uses of force by these institutions. The positive side of Locke's anti-authoritarianism is that he believes that using reason to try to grasp the truth, and determining the legitimate functions of institutions will optimize human flourishing for the individual and society both in respect to its material and spiritual welfare. This in turn, amounts to following natural law and the fulfillment of the divine purpose for humanity. Locke's monumental An Essay Concerning Human Understanding concerns itself with determining the limits of human understanding in respect to God, the self, natural kinds and artifacts, as well as a variety of different kinds of ideas. It thus tells us in some detail what one can legitimately claim to know and what one cannot. Locke also wrote a variety of important political, religious and educational works including the Two Treatises of Civil Government, the Letters Concerning Toleration, The Reasonableness of Christianity and Some Thoughts Concerning Education.

Oh well. I don't see any real relation between me and Katherine Graham, either.
Graham fought mental illness in her spouse & other setbacks, but nonetheless took hold of his business & went on to amazing achievements. She refused to be beaten down by the sexism of the age.

[Dark Angel]

Very good possibility. :laugh:

Abe Lincoln recommended me a place down by Gettysburg.

It was a conspiracy all the way. :cool:

I am very BA (bad ass :shrug: :laugh: :rolleyes: ) on occasion. But, Diss. takes the BA cake with me a CLOSE second!

[GateandGarden]

Graham fought mental illness in her spouse & other setbacks, but nonetheless took hold of his business & went on to amazing achievements. She refused to be beaten down by the sexism of the age.Okay, you've made me quit being an ass. That is a really nice thing to say about me. I just feel so sorry for Lux being Sylvia Plath, though! :eek: :laugh:

You should feel sorry for me, too, because Everett Dean Martin is a joke. :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

oh my god..this is the funniest one yet! Sorry Curtis. :laugh:


I now - poor Curtie - oh well what the hell.

[GateandGarden]

Hillary - Kate ChopinIt's really interesting to me that you chose her because I am supposedly very distantly related to her. And I'm also a big fan. :nod:

[amber]

Erm...both of mine have had a similar theme.... :eek:

[GardenStateGirlie]

It was a conspiracy all the way. :cool:

Damn straight it was...all because she couldn't bare him a son.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Eh, I'd say a cross between Riley and Sommers.


Good call. Don't crossmatch me with Dawson....I'm no womanizer, that's for sure! :angel:

[trackaghost]

I think David should explain his choices!

I'd like to know mine anyway...

[gldstwmn]

No way, Dissention = Paul Lynde! I am totally laughing my ass off.

Bingo! :laugh:

[chiliD]

Unless you mean I'm gonna be used for TARGET PRACTICE sometime in the near future.

Sorry, that just made me laugh out loud for some strange, strange reason. :laugh:

You need to get out more, lamer!

Hayley, you are super spy extraordinaire, Sydney Bristow. And you get to make out with Sark.

[GypsySorcerer]

It's really interesting to me that you chose her because I am supposedly very distantly related to her. And I'm also a big fan. :nod:


I'm a big fan of hers too. That's awesome that she is probaby an ancestor.

Hayley, you are super spy extraordinaire, Sidney Bristow. And you get to make out with Sark.

Great minds think alike because I was just going to post that. :xoxo:

[GardenStateGirlie]

Great minds think alike because I was just going to post that. :xoxo:

Hey, well if we can't make out with him, Hayley has to...and then she can jump in her super spy time capsule and tell me how it was :laugh:

[David]

I think David should explain his choices!

I'd like to know mine anyway...For yours, I will admit I got the idea more from Josef von Sternberg's magnificent expressionist classic "The Scarlet Empress" than from the historical Catherine. Catherine, played by Marlene Dietrich, started as an innocent young girl doomed to "greatness" & to fulfill her role at court, but through sheer power of personality & razor-sharp intelligence, as well as awesome physical beauty (which may or may not be true about you), came to dominate the court of Old Russia, an overwhelmingly male-dominated world (mostly in the form of priests & nobility).

Like Dietrich, I see you riding triumphantly to victory on your prophetic white horse through the monstrous halls of the palace, with both glory & doom in your future if you stumble.

[amber]

Lux = Dorothy Parker
Excellent. Yes. Lux has gotten good ones! Even sylvia plath is talented. My chicks just screw people to gain power while looking fabulous....

I'm just pissed that she gets all the credit! What about me? Huh? What about Lizzie? All I ever hear is Susan Susan Susan! She even got her f*cking head put on a coin. What the hell do I have to do around here to get my head put on a coin? Huh? Huh? Tell me! :mad:

Ohh. That's hot. And if I did, I'd film it for Merf, as pervy as that may be.

I'll be Sydney. As long as we're not comparing our music tastes, as I refuse to sing the ovary electric and listen to Sarah McLachlan etc.

[David]

How about David? I'd go with Wallace Shawn. He has a similar wit and intelligence to him.I like Wallace Shawn, & I like the fact that he's William Shawn's son.

But I'm either Edmund Wilson or John Simon. But if someone said I was Bernard De Voto or Jacques Barzun, that would be just fine too, even though I'm very different from Jacques.

[David]

Dude, for that, I'm actually going to use one of these: :lol:hayley, you have more than a little of the acerb Mary McCarthy about you, although you aren't as traditionalist in literary foray & manner.

So maybe you're more on the order of Dorothy Richardson.

Her writing is so beautiful. I have a volume with the Awakening and other stories, and the other stories are sooooo delightful. You won't be disappointed.

You need to get out more, lamer!

/not bitter at all at not getting a famous counterpart

/me neither *high five*

[diamondsnake]

diamondsnake -- Zeppo Marx


OMG! I just looked this guy up and he is the "trouble maker" of the Marx brothers! I guess that makes me the trouble maker of the ledge? :wavey:

[David]

I had to google her. She's cool. :cool: I'll have to read The Awakening now!Her protagonist is a thoroughly modern woman & completely ahead of her time. She resembles Melville's Bartleby in that her shimmering, iconoclastic existentialist perception is indistinguishable from mental illness, & in fact the line between the two is blurred.

SNIP

You can learn a very useful French phrase (albeit a tad old-fashioned) from the first chapter of the work: "Allez vous-en. Sapristi"

[hayley]

hayley, you have more than a little of the acerb Mary McCarthy about you, although you aren't as traditionalist in literary foray & manner.

So maybe you're more on the order of Dorothy Richardson.
I can live with Dorothy Richardson. Both unappreciated in our time. But I hope that's not veiled snark on my grammar and writing skills, or I'll throw you down. With my acerbic wit.

[hayley]

You can learn a very useful French phrase (albeit a tad old-fashioned) from the first chapter of the work: "Allez vous-en. Sapristi"
Ughhgghhh. Parrot. *shudder*

[SuzeQuze]

Dude!!! Erase that! That was a huge suprise for me when I read it! What are you doing????
DUDE.

Haha, too late! Although I already read that she commits suicide. :shrug: By the time I get to it, I'll probably have forgotten. :lol:

[hayley]

SERIOUSLY.
What would probably help, since he already snipped it out, is if you would erase where you QUOTED it? That's the only place you can see his comment now?

[SuzeQuze]

Yeah, that would have helped. :lol:

Rent the great Sternberg picture through NetFlix. Watch it closely -- pay attention to the mise en scene -- & then tell me you can't identify yourself with the fated Catherine.

I definitely will now, thanks!

Would you be offended if I compared you to Arthur Schopenhauer?

He's one of the great 19th century philosophers and he was a great admirer of art and in particular music.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Which ledgies remind you of famous people throughout history?

COOL!! :xoxo:
Margaret Bourke-White contributed many things to the world of photography. She was a woman, doing a man's job, in a man's world, from the foundries of Cleveland to the battlefields in World War II. She was an original staff photographer for two of the most prominent magazines of her day, Fortune and Life. She led a life full of adventure, pioneering a new art form: photojournalism. Margaret Bourke-White was, and still is, one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century.

McEnroe is an ass. I don't know why Patty Smyth is married to him. Right after Tatum's book was released, I watched her on Oprah and Larry King. I truly don't think she's lying in what she says went on and I hope she gets herself totally cleaned up. She was in an episode of Sex and the City not that long ago and was pretty amusing. She's still gorgeous and she's still a good actress. Hopefully people won't find her difficult to work with and she'll get things turned around for herself.

I think she was a great actress as a kid but these days her actting needs work. But she's definitely likeable as a person, and I believe her as well. Sad about her kids & about how Farrah & Ryan ignored her as a teen.

She was doomed from the start with a family like that. Her brother coming out after the book and saying she's a liar--she has no one--it's sad. What makes it even worse is McEnroe running her down in front of their kids.

Amber as Theda Bara?

<img src="http://silentladies.com/Bara/Bara30.jpg">
Theda Bara made more than 40 feature films between 1914 and 1926 of which complete prints of only three still exist. She made her Broadway debut in "The Devil" (1908), and her film debut was a bit part in "The Stain" (1914), directed by Frank Powell for Pathé Frères. A large portion of her films are now lost, to the regret of later generations of fans.

Bara was a sex symbol of the era, and in a number of her films appeared in risqué transparent costumes that left little to the imagination. Such outfits were banned from Hollywood films after the Hays Code went into effect a few years later, which may have been a factor in declining interest in her films, which could no longer be commercially shown in the United States. At the height of her fame, however, her vamp image was notorious enough be refered to in various popular songs of the day. A line in "Red-Hot Hannah" said "I know things that Theda Bara's just startin' to learn - make my dresses from asbestos, I'm liable to burn...." "Rebecca Came Back From Mecca" contains the lyrics "She's as bold as Theda Bara; Theda's bare but Becky's bare-er".

Note: The word "vamp" was apparently created to describe Theda Bara.
--------------------------
So, what do you all think?

I love Theda Bara. She was cool. Her and Clara Bow. :)

Will Rogers, if you prefer, Brian. I chose Mark Twain because he endured several tragedies & hardships later in his life, & yet maintained his comic outlook on life, as evidenced by the letters he wrote to Andrew Carnegie, the New York Times & the gas company.

I prefer either, But the image of Mark Twain made me think of the scene in "Robin Hood:Men in Tights" where Robin of Locksley is shooting in an archery contest wearing a Mark Twain mask :lol:


Mark Twain-"Throughout his career, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) published more than 30 books, hundreds of short stories and essays and gave lecture tours around the world. By the end of his life in 1910, Clemens had become known as the quintessential American author having captured in his works the spirit, character and even dialect of a diverse nation. His writing also served to voice his running commentary on American society. Thinly veiled behind the mask of humor and satire, Clemens' writing often critiqued social morals, politics and human nature, making his literature a unique reflection of the American experience in the latter part of the nineteenth century."

[madformac]

madformac -- Ivor Novello




I knew I should have stayed out of this thread.......



IVOR NOVELLO

Welsh actor, composer, songwriter and dramatist. Born in Cardiff and educated at Magdalen College School, Oxford where he was a chorister....

By customarily taking the non-singing lead in his own shows, he built a great following with the female audience, despite, in his private life, he was homosexual, often very openly. Novello's shows helped fill London's theatre during World War II whilst he continued to produce new ones, among them Arc de Triomphe and Gay's the Word.



Hang on... I'm not a Welsh homosexual.... What did I miss?? :shocked: :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

yeah, fur? :confused:

That was Jake's **** attempt at a comeback.

[amber]

EnchantedSLN : Norah Jones ;) I'm sorry, sweetie. You do.
Okay, I don't think she does. :shrug:
