Does anyone remember these? I couldn't a Wiki Reference to this, But did find the picture. This kinda has some history for me growing up. My dad and a friend of his actually scheme on an idea for a Fonzie doll and a few months later it was a reality and they missed out on it. I guess someone beat them to it. Dad was so upset by it that he refused to get me one. That's my memory of the Fonzie Doll

This clip sums up the history of King's work made into films thus far.
Stephen King is my favorite author, and I love reading anything I can find about him, here is some trivia I thought would be of interest to anyone who appreciates this master of horror.
He once revealed that he is suffering from macular degeneration, a currently incurable condition which will most likely lead to blindness.
His estimated annual salary is $40 million.
He created his pseudonym Richard Bachman by reading a novel by Donald E. Westlake, whose pseudonym is Richard Stark, while listening to Bachman-Turner Overdrive. And much like Hitchock, he likes to have cameos in his movies.
He scored in the 1300s on the SAT.
He wrote "The Running Man", a 304 page novel, in only ten days.
His favorite personal horror movie is Tourist Trap (1979), and his favorite film is Of Unknown Origin (1983)
He is an avid Red Sox fan. Before the Sox won the 2004 World Series, he said he wanted his tombstone epitaph to be a single sock and the line "Not In My Lifetime, Not In Yours, Either."
He is the most successful American writer in history.
He often listens to hard rock music during the time he writes to get inspired and also plays in a rock band.
A recovering alcoholic, he wrote in his book "On Writing" that he was drunk virtually the whole time of writing the book "Cujo" and to this day barely remembers writing any of it.
In the 1980's he was battling a cocaine addiction. At one time his wife, Tabitha, organized a group of family and friends and confronted him. She dumped his trashcan onto the floor, which included beer cans, cigarette butts, cough and cold medicines and various drug paraphernalia. Her message to him was "Get help or get out. We love you, but we don't want to witness your suicide." He got help and was able to become clean and sober.
And finally, on playing the role of Jordy Verrill in Creepshow he said, "If I had written it for myself, I would have put in at least one sex scene!"

Old Fart's clip on the Dodgers got me to missing and reminiscing about my hometown of Brooklyn NY, so here's something I wanted to share with anyone else who still remembers. If you grew up there, it will always be in your heart, no matter how far away life may take you.

Born Sofia Villani Scicolone, in Rome Italy on September 20, 1934. An illegitimate child from a poor home in Naples, she became a teenage beauty queen and model. Her film debut was as an extra. She came under contract to film producer Carlo Ponti, later her husband, and blossomed as an actress. An international career followed and she won an Oscar for La Ciociara, (1961, translation Two Women). Frequently appearing with Marcello Mastroianni, her many films include The Millionairess (1961) and Marriage Italian Style (1964). In 1979 she published Sophia Loren: Living and Loving (with A E Hotchner) which was filmed for television as Sophia Loren: Her Own Story (1980), in which she played herself and her mother. She received an honorary Academy Award in 1991.
How she stays so gorgeous is anyone's guess, but being Sicilian myself, I would be willing to bet there's something in the olive oil, no kidding. In any case, I better get me a few barrels of it lol

Even though most of you may not know who this man was, there are many who do, and who will always think of him with a great deal of honor and respect, I am one of them. Simon Wiesenthal, was a Holocaust survivor who helped track down numerous Nazi war criminals following World War II and spent the later decades of his life fighting anti-Semitism and prejudice against all people. He died on Sept. 20, 2005 at the age of 96. The contribution of this man to history is best described as keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive during the crucial years.
In the 1950s, the US was busy with the Cold War, while Israel had its own troubles with the Arabs. He just took the job. It was a job no one else wanted. He was the only full-time Nazi hunter. A day after World War II ended, Wiesenthal handed over a crumbling list of Nazis to US Army intelligence. He did not want to be a Nazi hunter, he was an architect by profession. However, the Holocaust forced him into action; 89 members of his family were murdered by the Nazis. He couldn't forget, he believed someone had to go after the criminals. In the last couple of years his health deteriorated, but his mind remained clear. Aside from Adolph Eichmann, among the 1,100 Nazi war criminals Wiesenthal helped bring to justice, were the commanders of Treblinka and Sobibor, and also the Nazi who arrested Anne Frank, Karl Silberbauer. More than anyone else in the world, he represented the belief that anti-Semitism and crimes against humanity are not mitigated with passing time, nor are they ever forgiven.
"May he rest in eternal peace knowing he did what was right."
