Entertainment Industry the old and the new stars remembered
When it comes to iconic Australian drama, few series will be remembered as fondly as They Flying Doctors. Originally conceived as a mini-series in 1985, the concept's popularity saw it return as an ongoing series the following year and it remained on Australian screens for nine seasons. Set in the fictional outback town of Cooper's Crossing, The Flying Doctors followed the day-to-day-lives, romances and dramas of the RFDS' doctors, nurses, pilots and base staff.
I have never seen one episode of The Flying Doctors, did I miss much?
I watched some episodes but they didn't leave a lasting impression Hola.

Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra seemed like a perfect Hollywood couple, but neither could stay faithful. A new biography of the sultry star, 'Ava, A Life in Movies,' reveals that when Sinatra was married to Nancy, Ava made him take her to confront his wife and prove that he had asked for a divorce. The actress regretted leaving Sinatra and wished she would have started a family with him.
A dear friend of ours worked on the set of "On the Beach", he said the only memorable thing he remembered about Ava Gardner was she could make a sailor blush by her foul mouth.
Goodness! I know she liked her drink....
I hope that film doesn't become reality though Hola.
I didn't appreciate how big a film industry there is in Turkey! Viewing a few of their productions has been interesting. Hearing Turkey one thinks of Muslims, most people would beSurprised at some of their productions on the market at theMoment, especially on Netflix. Here is one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWnTmKbUfjo
Hope the current government doesn’t damage their film industry.

The judicial onslaught that hit Turkish academics and journalists after the failed coup attempt in July 2016 has now turned to actors, directors, screenwriters and other members of the country’s cinema industry. The Turkish authorities have launched a judicial probe into more than 400 people involved in the country’s cinema industry, fueling concern that the arts and culture realm is next in line for purges.

Blethyn in 1977. Blethyn came to professional acting in her late 20s, having worked in a bank and as a British Rail secretary.
Blethyn as Vera, in the angler's hat she found in a Newcastle fishing tackle shop.In the books she has a skin condition and doesn't like going in the sun, so the hat I wear is a wink towards that!
I enjoy Vera ... am watching it now actually.
I do like to watch Vera as well.
Holidays: Legendary actor Michael Caine linked arms with his daughter Nikki as they joined the rest of the family for lunch in Miami on Boxing Day
I loved many of Michael Caine's movies.
No matter how old he is, he'll always be 'Alfie' in my mind. :)
Just heard that the Australian actor Tom Long has passed away after fighting cancer for 7 years. RIP
Yes RIP. I really enjoyed his performances, particularly in SeaChange. Seems to young to go at 51 years of age.
I don't like Cates dress!
Yellow there! Cate Blanchett, 50, also made a spectacular arrival at the Golden Globes in a yellow pleated gown with a bejewelled harness-inspired bodice
