We do have a picture of Eddie dressed up as St. Nick....with a cigar. Ho Ho Ho! Francesca Larry Ludwig | @ | url HI Francesca, I just wanted to say that I saw an interview once with Bette Davis, and she corrected her interviewer about what a 'STAR' truly was, and how everyone (back in the 70's this was) that appeared in anything was 'starred in' and it was just not correct. I could not agree more. There were actors, and actresses by the hundreds, even thousands... but a STAR was one of those lights that could shine through on any day, or any time. Your Grandfather, was a STAR. It is such a sad state, that all that he showed us, along with his contemporaries for so long... and today there is not an actor or actress left... nor has there been one for many many years. The true artform that was 'the pictures' is long gone from the Earth. 11 July 2005 - San Antonio, TX Response:   Dear Larry, I do agree with you that stars are rare and beautiful...Their light not only shines at the moment but far into the future.. So what we see in the sky now, happened long ago. Only the future will tell us if some of today's actors will shine on...
