Jerry Lewis and the VistaVision Camera on the set of Frank Tashlin’s THE GEISHA BOY (1958)
Thanks to Rob(chester) Martinez for send me these marvelous candids in order to celebrate opening day. Like I know the difference between opening day and the Stanley Cup. It’s all meaningless to me since Jack Brickhouse went on to his reward.
Ryuzo Demura, Unidentified, Jerry Lewis & Jim Gilliam
Since The Geisha Boy was released in November 1958, I’m guessing that these were snapped earlier that spring. Sadly, Frank Tashlin is nowhere in sight. At this point in his career, Jerry was riding an unrivaled wave of success and his mania for documenting his every move was approaching its zenith. Everywhere that Jerry went a camera (both still and motion picture) was sure to go. His warehouse contains rows of thousands of leather bound photo albums chronicling every move of his life for decades. I remember reading a magazine interview a year or two after Jerry suffered his heart attack. He talked about how confronting death for the first time took some of the steam out of his penchant for self-preservation. Or should I say, preserving self? Wish I could spend a few hundred hours perusing that archive…

Mindy McCready’s mother comes clean about her daughter’s relationship with Roger Clemens
May 1st, 2008 by Scott Marks
Oh, God bless ya, and keep ya Mother McCready for confirming reports that your daughter had an affair with baseball ace Roger Clemens.
Clemens is denying that any inappropriate behavior went on with the underage singer while Mindy openly calls it a “ten-year romance.” What a lovely mother’s day gift it must be going public with the fact that your 15-year-old daughter was doing a 28-year-old married baseball player.
Sure, I love the dear silver, that shines in yer hair, Melody Inge, especially when you tell People magazine that your minor daughter and Clemens, “came by here one morning and we had breakfast together. She went to ball games and I know she went to Las Vegas with him.”
She adds that while Clemens was close to her daughter, and had even sent her money in the past, Inge had “never heard her say she was in love with him. I only knew her to be in love once and that was with (former fiancé and TV’s Superman) Dean Cain.”
Hey, ma, while you’re at it why not knee Clemens in the groin and spit in his face, you camera-hogging, dried up, two-bit impersonation of Virgie Arthur! Your upidstay daughter can get in and out of trouble quite nicely without your interfering.
Didn’t anyone think to mention the Superman curse to Dean Cain before he signed on for the role? I’d rather jump out a window or fall off a horse than marry Mindy McCreedmoor.
Hopefully tomorrow Mindy’s dog and dry cleaner will also hold press conferences to confirm the country and western singer’s teenage tramp status.
