Among the exhibits was a fresh apple. Inspired, Lennon impulsively plucked the item from its stand and took a bite. When the artist, who happened to be right there at the time, cried out in anger, Lennon sheepishly grinned and replaced the apple. The artist in question? Yoko Ono.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-18-2007 11:23 AM                        Rated G Lorraine Cary Grant donated his entire fee for 'Arsenic and Old Lace' ($100,000) to the U.S. War Relief Fund and gave his earnings from 'The Philadelphia Story' to the British war effort.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-18-2007 11:25 AM                        Rated G Lorraine Debbie Reynolds' film career began at MGM when she won a beauty contest at age 16 with an impersonation of Betty Hutton. In 1948, she won the title of Miss Burbank and was offered a screen test by Warner Brothers the following day. Had she planned on a film career? Not exactly: she had entered the contest because each candidate was guaranteed a silk scarf, a blouse, and a free lunch.

On one occasion, after lunching with a group of other vaudeville performers, a conjuror named Meyenberg turned to Houdini and asked him whether he wanted to see a trick. Houdini enthusiastically agreed. "Lay your hands flat on the table, with your palms down," Meyenberg instructed. When he did so, Meyenberg balanced two water-filled glasses on Houdini's hands, exclaimed, "Let's see you get out of that without paying the bill!" and quickly fled with the rest of the party.  |  IP: Logged
