Do actors really act today or is it all CGI?
Rich Little is still great but not for the younger generation... just too slow for them. I seen him at the Hilton for free a few years ago when he was doing a tribute on Jimmy Stewart's life. I also have most of Stewart's movies as well. He did most of those impressions you listed. I enjoyed his show compared to Gilbert Gottfried who was in the same room but talk about dated material lol. We did like the Aristocrats joke at the end though but very vulgar to get to the punchline.
I also was in town when the tower was being built but I missed the fire. I was here in 91 but left and came back in 93. Yes I was 16 when I first came here and got broke playing 1-5 stud at the MGM... I liked the theme and feel of the MGM and it was like being in the Wizard of Oz. I liked that circle bar and sports book. First time I ever seen 8 large screen TVs in a row on the wall.
Of course I haven't done much work in my life and have had more time to read books, watch movies, go to the ballet, symphonies, opera... etc. I haven't had much money in my life but I have basically lived the Life of Riley.
