Just Some Guy Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 TIL that the kid in the Chaplin film The Kid went on to play Uncle Fester in the 1960's Addams Family series. It doesn't help that I constantly get Jackie Coogan and Jackie Gleeson muddled up...... Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 17, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 17, 2021 Learned this a while ago, but I just remembered, because of the above post, one of my favourite bits of trivia: Sidney Lumet's heist film The Anderson Tapes was Christopher Walken's first major film, while at the same time being the last on-screen appearance of Margaret Hamilton (better known as the Wicked Witch of the West).

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 21, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Killing Me Softly was originally performed by Lori Lieberman and inspired by Don McLean. There's a heck of an interesting story behind it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Me_Softly_with_His_Song Edited February 21, 2021 by jazzygeofferz Quote
RancidPunx Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Belinda Carlisle was a member of 70’s US Punk band the Germs(Darby Crash, Pat Smear) as a drummer bit she got sick (ironic) for a prolonged period of time and never ended up playing a gig with them. Quote

I feel like I need to see a source for this. It seems ridiculous that reference in a line would cost you 'the majority' of a song. I know entertainment copyright law is pretty crazy though so I'm sure it's not impossible, however illogical. Quote

Just looked at his discography. What a list. Edit: @Chest Rockwell this covers it. Edited February 21, 2021 by SuperBacon Thong th thong thong thong Quote
