EPISODE 95 -  “VIRGINIA GREY: Classic Cinema Star of the Month” - 7/07/25 If VIRGINIA GREY is remembered at all, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty is probably best remembered as the caustic perfume counter girl in The Women (1939), who sees right through the gold-digging ways of Crystal Allen, played by JOAN CRAWFORD. In these brief scenes, she is so charismatic and saucy, she really shows how to deliver a zinger of a line. She may also be remembered as the good luck charm of producer ROSS HUNTER, who put her in many of his popular movies of the mid-1950s and 1960s. But there was so much more to this talented actress.

The 1890 closing of the Frontier by the US Census Bureau is a major milestone in the history of the United States. The outcome of that change affected the mindset of the Americans. . . and from that comes some of our most loved fiction. But on the flip side, also the darkest stain on the United States. In this episode we cross paths with Thomas Jefferson, Johnny Weissmuller, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.G. Wells, Frank Munsey, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., the Great Chicago Fire, and Davy Crockett

rWotD Episode 2811: Alberto Zorrilla Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 13 January 2025 is Alberto Zorrilla.Victoriano Alberto Zorrilla (April 6, 1906 – April 23, 1986) was an Argentine swimmer who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics and in the 1928 Summer Olympics where he became the first South American to win an Olympic swimming gold medal.Zorrilla, aged just 18 years old, competed in Paris, France in the 1924 Summer Olympics, he entered in three events, in the 100 metres freestyle he finished 2nd behind Clayton Bourne from Canada in his opening heat so qualified for the semi-finals, in the semi-final he finished sixth nearly seven seconds behind winner Johnny Weissmuller who broke the Olympic record, in his other two events he didn't get past the heats, in the 400 metres freestyle he finished 4th, and in the 4 x 200 metre freestyle relay he again finished 4th in the heat.Four years later he was competing in the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he entered four events this time, in the 400 metres freestyle he won both his heat and semi-final, and then in the final he swam a time of 5:01.6 winning the gold medal and breaking the Olympic record which Johnny Weissmuller had set at the previous Olympics, thus also becoming South America's first Olympic swimming gold medalist.

Thank you for all your messages about my previous post, “Love Language.” Tarzan stories have me howling with laughter. It is so fun to know that, yes, Tarzan is alive and well—whomever he may be! A group of lady friends have named their group chat “Jane,” and they told me that it was to remind themselves that they are all true Janes. A friend keeps sending me the Tarzan shout a a aaaaa with every text. Another friend has decided that I need to see every single photo of Johnny Weissmuller in his full splendor. Everyone has a different idea of what Tarzan represents. I will tell you about mine when I find him! I promise you'll be the first to know! What I can tell you is that cooking for love is real. There are dishes that warm our hearts and souls and send a subliminal message that the meal is made with love and affection. Some meals are seductive, others heartwarming, and others are just pure pleasure. And yes, men's tastes are different than women's (I mean, in the culinary world, of course! What were you thinking?)To me it all goes back to comfort and care and attention and affection. It is the thought and preparation, it is the presentation, it is the thoughtfulness. A long time ago, I wrote an article about cooking for two that I submitted as the galley for a cookbook. It never got published. I tested the recipes in a house full of people, children, and pets… I couldn't imagine what it would be like to cook for just two, and I think it showed. In the last few years, I have often pulled recipes and ideas from that project, and the recipes that keep coming back are creamy pasta dishes… true love language, classic cuts of beef… the way to a man's heart, and eggs and potatoes in any combination possible… the ones that make me the happiest. Cooking is a pleasure, essential for our well-being, and the BEST thing we can do for our bodies. Cooking is a source of great pride and satisfaction. It is one of those everyday musts that is so much more than just going through the actions. It uses all of our senses: we touch the food and feel its varied textures, we smell the aromas that emanate from magical mixtures, we hear the cracking and sizzling from the pan, we see the alchemy and chemistry that change the ingredients in front of us, and we taste the results that are then ingrained in our memories forever. Tastes and needs develop and change as we move through life, but favorite dishes are constant. They can transport us to a specific moment in time and remind us of good times. Believe it or not, I am a woman of simple tastes. Eggs and potatoes are at the top of my list. A plate of golden brown fries and a couple of fried eggs on top, and I am in ambrosian heaven. And, if you top it all with a large spoonful of caviar…. well… Now you know the key to my heart. And with this, I leave you.Sincerely,The Serial HostessOn that note:If you live in the Charleston area (or even if not), please consider donating to a wonderful and very needed organization that supports the children of fallen Special Operations families. Special Operations Warrior FoundationElaine and Brad Taylor have organized an event on October 26th in Charleston, gathering 5 New York Times bestsellers authors. It promises to be a really fun evening—more information. And tickets. Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.

« Johnny Johnny » n'est pas seulement le roman d'une vie exceptionnelle, celle de Johnny Weissmuller, c'est aussi celui du rêve américain où tout devient possible. Enchaînant les médailles et les records, le nageur le plus rapide du monde prendra la lumière sur les plateaux de cinéma où il incarnera Tarzan. Hollywood fera de lui un dieu puis finira par l'oublier. Champion olympique de natation à Paris en 1924, acteur célèbre, séducteur invétéré, Johnny Weissmuller fera résonner pour toujours l'écho de son incroyable force vitale. Par Ellen Ichters

Before Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and Penelope Cruz, there was Lupe Velez―one of the first Latin-American stars to sweep past the xenophobia of old Hollywood and pave the way for future icons from around the world. Her career began in the silent era, when her beauty was enough to make it onto the silver screen, but with the rise of talkies, Velez could no longer hope to hide her Mexican accent. Yet Velez proved to be a talented dramatic and comedic actress (and singer) and was much more versatile than Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, and other legends of the time. Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality. The media emphasized the "Mexican Spitfire" persona, and by many accounts, Velez's private life was as colorful as the characters she portrayed on-screen. Fan magazines mythologized her mysterious childhood in Mexico, while mainstream publications obsessed over the drama of her romances with Gary Cooper, Erich Maria Remarque, and John Gilbert, along with her stormy marriage to Johnny Weissmuller. In 1944, a pregnant and unmarried Velez died of an intentional drug overdose. Her tumultuous life and the circumstances surrounding her early death have been the subject of speculation and controversy. In Strictly Dynamite: The Sensational Life of Lupe Velez (UP of Kentucky, 2023), author Eve Golden uses extensive research to separate fact from fiction and offer a thorough and riveting examination of the real woman beneath the gossip columns' caricature. Through astute analysis of the actress's filmography and interviews, Golden illuminates the path Velez blazed through Hollywood. Her success was unexpected and extraordinary at a time when a distinctive accent was an obstacle, and yet very few books have focused entirely on Velez's life and career. Written with evenhandedness, humor, and empathy, this biography finally gives the remarkable Mexican actress the unique and nuanced portrait she deserves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Her career began in the silent era, when her beauty was enough to make it onto the silver screen, but with the rise of talkies, Velez could no longer hope to hide her Mexican accent. Yet Velez proved to be a talented dramatic and comedic actress (and singer) and was much more versatile than Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, and other legends of the time. Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality. The media emphasized the "Mexican Spitfire" persona, and by many accounts, Velez's private life was as colorful as the characters she portrayed on-screen. Fan magazines mythologized her mysterious childhood in Mexico, while mainstream publications obsessed over the drama of her romances with Gary Cooper, Erich Maria Remarque, and John Gilbert, along with her stormy marriage to Johnny Weissmuller. In 1944, a pregnant and unmarried Velez died of an intentional drug overdose. Her tumultuous life and the circumstances surrounding her early death have been the subject of speculation and controversy. In Strictly Dynamite: The Sensational Life of Lupe Velez (UP of Kentucky, 2023), author Eve Golden uses extensive research to separate fact from fiction and offer a thorough and riveting examination of the real woman beneath the gossip columns' caricature. Through astute analysis of the actress's filmography and interviews, Golden illuminates the path Velez blazed through Hollywood. Her success was unexpected and extraordinary at a time when a distinctive accent was an obstacle, and yet very few books have focused entirely on Velez's life and career. Written with evenhandedness, humor, and empathy, this biography finally gives the remarkable Mexican actress the unique and nuanced portrait she deserves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Johnny Weissmuller made his debut as ‘Tarzan The Ape Man' on April 2nd, 1932, when MGM released the first talkie to feature the jungle hero - spawning a Tarzanmania craze. The blockbuster, loosely based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1912 novel, was commissioned in part because the studio held additional footage from their African-set hit from the previous year, ‘Trader Horn'.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Weissmuller's Olympic swimming career had hinged on a forgery; explain how the filmmakers created Tarzan's famous yell; and investigate why MGM stepped in to fund their big star's divorce… Further Reading: • ‘Johnny Weissmuller Dies at 79; Movie Tarzan and Olympic Gold Medalist' (New York Times, 1984): https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0602.html • ‘The 50 MGM Films that Transformed Hollywood - Triumphs, Blockbusters, and Fiascos, By Steven Bingen' (Lyons Press, 2022): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_50_MGM_Films_that_Transformed_Hollyw/bYh0EAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=tarzan+ivor+novello&pg=PA50&printsec=frontcover • ‘Trailer: Tarzan the Ape Man' (MGM, 1932): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoPPD0NKhA This episode first premiered in 2023, for members of

In a rare 2-hour interview, delve into the enigmatic life and mind of the late Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, through the reminiscences of his brother Pat and nephew Patrick and never before seen photos and footage. Uncover the roots of Ditko's analytical and creative genius, beginning from his early years growing up in a hardworking immigrant family, to his intuitive yet analytical approach to art which later defined the iconic characters we love. Discover the blend of scientific curiosity, love for Batman and artistic passion in Ditko's youth, including his makeshift science lab and his early fascination with solving problems, which hinted at the iconic superhero worlds he would later create. Amidst the exploration of Ditko's youthful adventures, a nostalgic recall unveils his admiration for Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan and Charles Bronson's rugged charisma, embodying a blend of heroism and humble tenacity that subtly mirrored in Ditko's later creations. Explore how Steve's quiet but profound philosophical outlook, including his interactions with Ayn Rand's philosophy, shaped his work and relationships within the comic book industry, and despite being labeled as a recluse, was quite interactively funny. Gain insight into Ditko's personal and professional ethos of letting his work speak for itself, his aversion to the spotlight, and his enduring focus on the present and future over the past. Through a blend of heartwarming and insightful anecdotes, this interview not only sheds light on Ditko's complex persona and his journey through the comic book world, but also underscores the indelible legacy he left behind, as seen through the eyes of his family.#SpiderMan #Marvel #DCComics #StanLee #DrStrange #Batman #SteveDitko#ComicStrips #JackKirby #WW2©2023 Comic Book HistoriansSupport the show

After many weeks of seeing films from this franchise pop up as options, it's finally time to check out a Tarzan movie. But not just any Tarzan movie! It's 1948's Tarzan and the Mermaids. "What is Tarzan doing meeting mermaids," we thought. Well, turns out, the title is just clickbait and there are no mermaids.

Casi todos la recuerdan como la Jane del Tarzán más famoso del cine, el que interpretó Johnny Weissmuller, pero Maureen O'Sullivan fue mucho más que eso, a lo largo de su vida participó en más de 70 películas con personajes muy diversos, además de ser la madre de la también actriz Mia Farrow. Se cumplen 25 años de su fallecimiento y en el capítulo de esta semana queremos recordarla. También vamos a hablar de aquello que se conoció como “Dogma 95”, una corriente cinematográfica de finales del siglo XX que proponía volver a las raíces del cine eliminando todo lo superfluo, desde el maquillaje, la iluminación, los trucos de cámara o el uso de la música en su banda sonora. Hemos charlado con Laia Costa, la última ganadora del Goya a la mejor actriz por su trabajo en 'Cinco lobitos', y en la sección de “Cine incómodo” traemos esta semana una película que provocó un grave incidente diplomático entre Corea del Norte y los Estados Unidos: 'La entrevista', protagonizada en 2014 por James Franco y Seth Rogen.

"He looked cool in the jungle"—Moulty on rock and roll hairInterviews in the essential Ugly Things magazine rarely disappoint. In the latest issue, writer Greg Prevost and editor and publisher Mike Stax talk with the Barbarians' legendary, hook-handed drummer Victor "Moulty" Moulton (in a conversation edited from two sit-downs spanning twenty years). Apart from some execrable homophobia —Moulton became a born again Christian after his career in rock and roll, and his attitudes about playing with the Barbarians in queer clubs in his hometown of Provincetown are unfortunate—the interview's a terrific glimpse into the Barbarian' rapid ascent and just as rapid commercial decline. It's another UT must-read for anyone interested in mid-1960s rock and roll and the record business.My favorite line occurs when either Prevost or Stax asks Moulton about his band's notoriously long hair, a collective mane born in the band's small town which contributed to a pretty savage look (and sound) for 1964. Moulton explains:We didn't have long hair because of music. We were all musicians all the time but we grew our long hair because we saw Tarzan on television. Johnny Weissmuller was our hero; he had long hair and he looked cool in the jungle.http://www.nosuchthingaswas.com/2016/04/he-looked-cool-in-junglemoulty-on-rock.html

Min 4: FILTRANDO MANTÍCORAS Y PROTECTORES Las salas de cine se relamen y se preparan para “Avatar 2”, el gran evento cinematográfico de los últimos años pero, en esta semana de transición, la nueva cartelera nos deja uno de esos títulos que no pasan desapercibidos. Activamos “El Filtro Luchini” para conocer las razones por las que el regreso de Carlos Vermut (“Quién te cantará”, “Magical Girl”) con “Mantícora” es una zambullida perturbadora en la condición humana y explicamos por qué su apuesta turbia y arriesgada le ha valido varias nominaciones potentes a los Goya. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández nos descubren el valor de “Mantícora” al tiempo que analizan también la calidad de otros estrenos que renuevan la oferta en salas, como la española “Cuerpo abierto”; la británica y amable “El viaje a París de la señora Harris” o el comercial y violento regreso a Hollywood de Banderas en “El Protector. Min 32: ENTREVISTA: LOS CINES, LISTOS PARA AVATAR 2 A menos de una semana de la película-evento más esperada de los últimos años, los cines se preparan para sacar el máximo rendimiento a las virtudes técnicas y visuales del ambicioso regreso de James Cameron. Desde los cines MK2 Cine Sur Luz del Tajo de Toledo nos atiende su gerente, Miguel González, para contarnos las condiciones técnicas que tendrán que tener las salas para sacar el máximo rendimiento al 3D y al potente sonido que trae la película más esperada del año. ¿Costará más la entrada? ¿Serán gafas de alquiler y de última generación? ¿Cómo está funcionando la preventa? ¿Estarán ya completas todas las sesiones del primer viernes de estreno? Min 40: ESPECIAL BSO: 90 AÑOS DE TARZÁN A punto de despedir este 2022 no podíamos dejar pasar la ocasión de celebrar los 90 años de vida del “Tarzán” al que encarnó el mítico Johnny Weissmuller. Ángel Luque nos ofrece un repaso a algunas de las bandas sonoras más llamativas que han rodeado a las múltiples adaptaciones que se han visto en la gran pantalla del hombre mono más cinegénico. Feliz cumpleaños, querido Tarzán… … y feliz escucha.

Author David Davis returns to the show to talk about his book Waterman: The Life and Times of Duke Kahanamoku, about the legendary 3x Olympic medalist and surfing pioneer. David's book has been turned into a documentary that will air on PBS' American Masters in May.   Duke Kahanamoku won back-to-back gold medals in the 100m freestyle at the 1912 and 1920 Summer Olympics. He also won silver at the 1924 Summer Olympics, just losing out to Johnny Weissmuller, in an Olympic career that spanned a whopping 12 years.   If it weren't for Duke, surfing might not have become the sport it is today.

Co-founder of KAP7 International, Brad Schumacher has experienced success in athletics and business. A former swimmer, water polo player and Olympic gold medalist. Schumacher is a two-time, two-sport Olympian. He was a member of the winning relay teams at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Four years later, he was a member of the U.S. men's water polo team at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Schumacher's two gold medals came as a member of the U.S. men's swimming relay teams at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia: in the men's 4X100-meter freestyle relay and in the men's 4X200-meter freestyle relay. He qualified for both swimming and water polo for the 2000 Olympic Games, but chose to compete only in water polo. At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he helped the U.S. men's water polo team to a sixth-place finish. He was the top sprinter at the 2000 Olympics, with 20 sprints won. The first American world champion in swimming and water polo since the 1904 Olympic Games, he earned a gold medal at the Pan-Pacific Games in 1997 and his first national championship at the U.S. Spring Nationals. In water polo, he represented the U.S. at the FINA World Championships, FINA World Cup, World University Games and the Goodwill Games. In 1998, Schumacher competed in World Championships in both sports and joined an elite group of aquatics stars that competed in both sports on the world-class level: Duke Khanamoku, Johnny Weissmuller, Bob Hughes and Matt Biondi. A swimming and water polo All-America selection at the University of the Pacific, he is the co-founder of KAP7 International, Inc., a water polo equipment company, with former Olympic teammate Wolf Wigo and he spends his spare time as the head coach of SET water polo club, a Southern California-based team that continues to rank among the top water polo clubs in the country. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cwpa/support
