Although she was not a particularly prodigious actress due to the fact that she preferred to spend plenty of time with her husband, Eva Marie Saint had quite a few notable film and television roles over the last 60 years. In fact, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in her feature film debut in On the Waterfront. Her various roles can be traced through the decade in such films as A Hatful of Rain, Loving, Nothing in Common, and Superman Returns. On TV, she might be seen in Suspense, The Love Boat, Frasier, and a recurring role on Moonlighting. Read the rest of this entry »
Of all of the cool cats in the history of screen cinema, I don’t think there were any much cooler than the character of John Milner in American Graffiti. As Terry the Toad said in the film, “Hey, nobody can beat him, man. He’s got the fastest…” to which Bob Falfa (played by Harrison Ford) coldly replies “I ain’t nobody, dork.” Turns out even the future Indiana Jones couldn’t beat Milner in the final auto race showdown. The actor who brought this cool character to life was Paul Le Mat. 
…And she certainly wasn’t the first. Back in the mid-nineties, I used to hear it on a weekly basis it seemed. Having high public exposure when I worked at Kroger, customers galore would often tell me of my resemblance to Kiefer, some concerned that I might actually be a vampire as he was in The Lost Boys. But the first and only celebrity to date to tell me that I looked like Kiefer Sutherland was Erin Gray when I met her at the Hollywood Collectors Show in California during my Summer visit of 1997.
