Aliens! Psychos!
and Fugitives! Russell Morton By the way, my flatmate's name is Russell Morton and I have his top films of all time if you would like to put them on your page. They are not in order. 01. Alien Not a bad list. I sense some influence from a mutual friend in re #10. Alien is good, I just watched Phil Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake with Veronica Cartwright. She was in both these classic sci fi's right around the same time. She's Rod Taylor's young sister in Hitchcock's The Birds. Born on April 20, 1950, in Bristol, England, UK as the older sister of child star Angela Cartwright ("Lost in Space"). Leonard Maltin: "She began her career as a child, playing Robert Wagner's younger sister in the film In Love and War (1958). She had parts in The Children's Hour (1962) and Hitchcock's The Birds (1963)... with a series of terrific performances in Goin' South the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both 1978), Alien (1979, as the navigator, Lambert), and The Right Stuff (1983, as Gus Grissom's distraught wife)... and was amusingly hysterical as Felicia, the suspicious wife in The Witches of Eastwick (1987)." On television she played Lumpy's younger sister, Violet Rutherford on "Leave It to Beaver", as Sean Hayes' mother on "Will & Grace" and as Cassandra Spender on "The X-Files"; "ER", "Sliders", "American Gothic", D.A. Margaret Flanagan on "L.A. Law", "Dragnet 1967", on "The Twilight Zone" episode, "I Sing the Body Electric". That was called my Veronica Cartwright tangental moment. Psycho is great, I prefer T2 to T1, I prefer AP2 to AP1, I liked Terence Stamp in Priscilla, I liked Fargo, but prefer Miller's Crossing, I liked Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and the soundtrack, The Party with Peter Sellers? That has some very funny bits. The Fugitive was good. Steel Magnolias was not. Submit Yours to tedstrong@tedstrong.com today!
