Post by: jjks on August 9, 2004, 01:41 AM: I'll try again...I was thinking of Richard Mulligan, but after I saw this Empty Nest photo I thought I'd open it up for the entire cast. Extra points if you can name them all.

They're all alive, but Estelle Getty is too frail and/or sick to do reunions.

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (wanted) dead or alive

Oh and I ride!

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive

And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

I was to the point, for awhile, that I wouldn't believe something until and unless Darth Big Boy reported it--so these last two casualties have really got me rethinking this policy of mine.

Ha! no kidding.

Anyway, I'm truly crushed- he and Kubrick were my favorite directors. Meyer was inspirational.

I received this in my email box this morning:

King of the funny skin flicks

September 22, 2004

BY ROGER EBERT

Russ Meyer is dead. The legendary independent director, who made
exploitation films but was honored as an auteur, died Saturday at
his home in the Hollywood Hills. He was 82, and had been suffering
from dementia. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia, said
Janice Cowart, a friend who supervised his care during his last
years. She announced his death Tuesday.

Such bare facts hardly capture the zest of a colorful man who became
a Hollywood icon. Meyer's "The Immoral Mr. Teas" (1959), hailed by
the highbrow critic Leslie Fiedler as the funniest comedy of the
year, created the skin flick genre, and after the box office success
of his "Vixen" (1968) he was crowned "King of the Nudies" in a front-
page profile in the Wall Street Journal. His "Beyond the Valley of
the Dolls" (1970), for which I wrote the screenplay, represented the
first foray into sexploitation by a major studio (20th Century Fox).

His films were X-rated but not pornographic. Meyer told me he had
two reasons for avoiding hard-core: (1) "I want to play in regular
theaters and keep the profits, instead of playing in porn theaters
and doing business with the mob." (2) "Frankly, what goes on below
the waist is visually not that entertaining." For Meyer, what went
on above the waist was a lifelong fascination; he cheerfully
affirmed his obsession with big breasts.

Meyer was the ultimate auteur. He not only directed his films, but
could and often did write, photograph, edit and distribute them, and
carried his own camera. In a genre known for sleazy sets and murky
photography, Meyer's films were often shot outdoors in scenic desert
and mountain locations, and his images were bright and crisp. He
said his inspiration was Al Capp's "L'il Abner" comic strip, and his
films were not erotic so much as funny, combining slapstick and
parody. He once told me there was no such thing as a sex scene that
couldn't be improved by cutaways to Demolition Derby or rocket
launches.

Meyer was born March 21, 1922 in San Leandro, Ca., and raised in the
Oakland area by a mother who gave him his first 8-mm movie camera.
He enlisted at 18 in the U. S. Army Signal Corps, learned motion
picture photography in an Army school at MGM, and found World War
II "the greatest experience of my life."

He was often assigned to Gen. George Patton, and told of being taken
along one night late in the war, to shoot the newsreel footage when
Patton assembled a strike force to dart across the lines and capture
Hitler - who was believed to be visiting the front. The report was
false, Hitler was not captured, Patton issued dire warnings to
anyone who spoke of the raid, and Meyer was denied the greatest
newsreel scoop in history.

On another assignment, he filmed the original Dirty Dozen before
they were parachuted into France, and E. M. Nathanson's best-selling
novel credits Meyer as its source. "In the real story," Meyer
said, "they disappeared and were never heard of again."

In peacetime Meyer and other Signal Corps cameramen found themselves
frozen out of the cinematographer's union. He made industrial and
educational films, and then drifted into cheesecake. More than half
of the first year's Playboy Playmates were photographed by Meyer.
Observing Hugh Hefner's success at retailing nude images of young,
wholesome-looking women, Meyer tried the same approach in "Mr.
Teas." Films exploiting nudity had been consigned to marginal
theaters and burlesque houses, but "Teas" won mainstream
distribution, played for a year in some of its first engagements,
and defined the rest of Meyer's career.

He made one film after another, all of them involving unlikely
plots, incongruous settings and abundantly voluptuous
actresses. "Where do you find those women?" I asked him. "After they
reach a certain bra size," he said, "they find me." He disapproved
of silicone implants: "They miss the whole point."

Meyer's titles were entertaining in themselves: "Faster, Pussycat!
Kill! Kill!" and "Mud Honey," both made in 1965, were taken as names
by 1990s rock bands, and director John Waters said "Pussycat" was
the greatest film of all time. Other directors who praised his work
included Jonathan Demme, who always uses Meyer's favorite actor
Charles Napier in his movies, and John Landis. Mike Meyers used
music and dialog from "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" in
his "Austin Powers" pictures.

Other titles included "Motor Psycho" (1965-a busy year), "Common Law
Cabin" and "Good Morning…and Goodbye!" (both 1967), "Finders
Keepers, Lovers Weepers!" (1968), "Vixen" (1968), "Cherry, Harry and
Raquel" (1970), "Blacksnake" (1973), "Supervixens" (1975), "Up!"
(1976), and "Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens" (1979), which I
co-wrote. In the 1980s he announced an epic film to be called "The
Breast of Russ Meyer," but it was never completed. He did publish a
massive three-volume, 17-pound, 1210-page, $199 autobiography,
(ital) A Clean Breast (unital) (2000). "It keeps you turning the
pages even when you can't lift the book," wrote Time magazine film
critic Richard Corliss, who called "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"
one of the 10 best films of the 1970s.

After I wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal praising Meyer's
work we met and became friends, and when he was summoned by Fox to
make "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" he asked me to write the
screenplay. We produced it in six weeks, making it up as we went
along, laughing aloud, although in directing it Meyer urged the
actors to perform with complete seriousness. The film cost $900,000,
grossed $40 million, and became a cult favorite; the Sex Pistols
punk rock band saw it in London in the late 1970s and hired Meyer to
direct and me to write a film for them. "Who Killed Bambi?" (1978)
shot for only one day before the Pistols' production company went
bankrupt.

Russ Meyer made X-rated movies, but he was not a dirty old man. He
didn't use the casting couch, prohibited sex on his sets ("save it
for the camera"), and was a serial monogamist. He married Eve Meyer
in 1955, and later photographed her as a Playmate; they had a
friendly divorce in 1970 and continued to work together until her
death in an airplane crash. His 1970 marriage to starlet Edy
Williams was not so happy, and inspired a scene in "Supervixens"
where the hero's wife attacks his pickup with an axe. In later years
his most frequent companion was Kitten Natividad, who starred
in "Ultra-Vixens."

He was a loyal friend. He stayed in lifelong contact with his Signal
Corps comrades, organizing local and national reunions and sending
tickets to those who needed them. He worked with the same crew
members again and again. In a field known for devaluing women, he
treated the actresses in his movies with affection and respect.
Haji, Uschi Digard, Tura Satana, Kitten Natividad and the "BVD"
stars Dolly Read, Cynthia Myers, Marcia McBroom and Erica Gavin
stayed in contact and attended reunions.

His films were unique in that the women were always the strong
characters, and men were the mindless sex objects. The film critic
B. Ruby Rich called him "the first feminist American director."
Meyer took praise with a grain of salt. After "The Seven Minutes"
(1971), an attempt at a serious mainstream big studio picture,
flopped at the box office, he told me: "I made the mistake of
reading my reviews. What the public wants are big laughs and big
knockers and lots of `em. Lucky for me that's what I like, too."

In his post-NASA career, Cooper became known as an outspoken believer in UFOs and charged that the government was covering up its knowledge of extraterrestrial activity.

"For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us."
