Subject: Off-topic (Emlyn Williams) Author: Susan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04:00:49 08/26/07 Sun In reply to: Elizabeth 's message, "Favorite Feature" on 22:10:01 08/20/07 Mon "Haha, yeah! Emlyn was a tiny man anyway, wasn't he?" Well, not to stray too far off topic here, but just to set the record straight he wasn't exactly tiny, but very thin in his younger years. According to a biography I read, he gave his official height as 5' 9 1/2" on his passport but had actually lied (cheeky devil!) and added an inch and a half to his height. So next to RN, who was 6 feet tall, well above average, 5'8" looks pretty short. (BTW, while I'm at it, I just have to quote something Emlyn Williams quotes on a recording of readings from Dylan Thomas--keep in mind that Emlyn himself was from Wales: "Perhaps the best way for me to introduce myself ... is by filling out one of those devilish passport questionaires about myself. Name: Dylan Marlais Thomas. ... Description: Snub nose; thick blubber lips; moppy, mouse-brown hair ... Above medium height. Above medium height for Wales? I mean 5 foot 6 and a half." So I guess 5'8" could translate to 5'9 1/2" in Welsh.) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Elizabeth [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:56:52 08/26/07 Sun I thought he was from the UK too, Wales huh? The way he describes himself reminds me of something I read that Charles Laughton said, he said "Me? I've got a face that would stop a sundial!" I like him though, he's cool. My mom doesn't like him so much in JI. But, yeah, let's try to stay on topic. Like I said another thing I love are those baby doll eyelashes. They're so beautiful. I know so many men that have eyelashes like that and I'm so jealous. I mean, women have to work for half an hour a day to get our eyes to look half as good and all the men have to do is wake up! That's not right. That's all I'm saying =~) So, are you on my side about them? I know you are! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Sue G. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:00:27 08/27/07 Mon His lashes were beautiful but I'm sure that he had makeup on for his movies and he certainly had it on in JI. Everybody was heavy on makeup in that movie! So as for spending time working on your eyes, I'm certain that he sat for many hours in a makeup room before filming. And they were especially 'heavy' on the makeup in the old B/W movies. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
