I know that's James Garner, third from the right, but who are the rest of these TV Western stars (and was this a still from a TV show or a movie)? Is that Gene Barry standing beside Garner to the left? Who *are* those mustachioed men at the right? P.S. Eat your hearts out, Depp and Marsters.

B eing a huge John Ritter fan, I was so pleased to be able to review Season 2 of the hit sitcom 8 Simple Rules (otherwise known as 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter ).

I think I have every episode memorized. When the...

Robert Preston was born June 8, 1918, and died in 1987. He is best known for his role as Professor Harold Hill in the Music Man , as seen in this classic clip of Preston singing about "Trouble in River City." But I remember him more for his role as a homosexual in Victor/Victoria , a film that can best be described as a gender-bender. American films couldn’t tackle such subjects during...
