John List, N.J. man who killed family and hid for 17 years dies wazzzy March 24, 2008, 10:56:25am
I'll never forget how "America's Most Wanted" made an almost identical model of what List would look like 18 years after his crime. It led to his arrest (NT) -- D., March 24, 2008, 11:04:59am
Robert Blake played List in the 1993 film Judgment Day: The John List Story. Probably the only time a murderer played a murderer (NT) -- ., March 24, 2008, 11:07:13am
Actually actor Paul Kelly beat to death the husband of his married actress girlfriend Dorothy Mackaye, in 1927, got arrested, served time, resumed his acting career, married the woman and was wed until Mackaye's own death in a car accident, in 1940! ...Kelly's career continued, playing killers and cops, until his death at 57 of heart failure, in 1956. Kelly was remarried at the time, and left his former wife's ashes unmarked in another cemetery. >>> -- the Chronicler, March 24, 2008, 11:42:55am
I remember this case, very well. ...List killed wife, Helen 46, his own mother Alma 84; and his three teen children; Johnny Jr. 15 (shot repeatedly -10 times- to kill), daughter Patricia 16, and Frederick 13 ! ...Writer Christopher McQuarrie’s inspiration for the character of 'Keyser Söze' in his screenplay "The Usual Suspects", was real-life murderer John List...Here is the full story of List's crimes ! >>> -- the Chronicler, March 24, 2008, 11:19:18am
In 1971, John List was considered a suspect in the DB Cooper hijacking. List's age, facial features, and build were similar to those described for the mysterious skyjacker. FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach stated that List was a "viable suspect" in the case. Cooper parachuted from the hijacked airliner with $200,000, the same amount List had used up from his mother's bank account in the days before the killing. Since being captured and sent to prison in 1989, List has strenuously denied being Cooper, and the FBI no longer considers him a suspect (NT) -- >, March 24, 2008, 12:17:51pm
According to Wikipedia, List's father, John Frederick List, was born in 1859! Probably not too many people left with a parent born in the 1850's! (NT) -- !, March 24, 2008, 05:40:31pm

What really matters? 'Family' didn't matter much to Barack Sr. You quaintly only identify his as 'Harvard educated economist'. You forgot the part of his being a bigamist (trigamist?), drunk bigot who abandoned his family. -- Jerimiah, March 25, 2008, 12:34:03am

McCain is another Dick Cheney, he's already showing that he doesn't care what the American public thinks because he's already stating his position of staying in Iraq (NT) -- I hope voters see that, March 25, 2008, 04:26:31am
Oh....I must have stumbled upon the POLITICAL thread by mistake. (NT) -- JB, March 25, 2008, 05:53:33am
Then why did you post politcal comments in the thread below? Is a political thread OK as long as it is YOUR politics? Just curious. -- Rusty, March 25, 2008, 06:31:41pm
Rusty, not sure if you directed that at me; I'm unaware of any political post that I made recently. I probably have responded to a very few in the past, but certainly never started one, and never will. There are other places for them. (NT) -- JB, March 25, 2008, 06:47:11pm

Today's (Monday, March 24) PHOTO: Norma Shearer, who earned the Academy Award for 'Best Actress' in 1930's "The Divorcee". ...Sadly, she was widowed at the early age of 34, when her beloved husband, 'MGM #2 man' Irving Thalberg died of pneumonia, after a series of heart attacks, at 37. Shearer married again in Summer 1942, to a man of 20 ! ...They stayed wed for 40 years, until Shearer's own death of pneumonia at the Actor's Home in California, on June 12, 1983, at age 80. Both her children with Thalberg, have since died of cancer. (NT) the Chronicler March 24, 2008, 01:27:15am
I love watching her movies - she has real sparkle on the screen - not like most of these wannabee's we see in Hollywood today. I think my favorite film of hers is Marie Antoinette. (NT) -- Sharon, March 24, 2008, 06:26:37am
Shearer was one of the rare stars of the era (like Luise Rainer), that is forgotten by name, to the newer generations! I'm sure 8 out of 10 people under 50, would not know the name, "Norma Shearer"! ...Another thing, has anybody seen any PHOTOS of Shearer as an old woman (in the 1970's)?? -I haven't. (NT) -- the Chronicler, March 24, 2008, 10:24:37am
Norma -- Ricardo, March 24, 2008, 11:53:22am
Thanks Ricardo. I always wonder of the mystery. Garbo retired early, Rainer retired early, Durbin retired early, but there are photos out there. ...Odd about Shearer, though. There's no appearance on TV; nothing of Shearer, post 1942. Weird! (NT) -- the Chronicler, March 24, 2008, 12:14:54pm
I found a picture -- Sharon, March 24, 2008, 02:05:33pm
Cool ! ...Thanks Sharon! Seeing as Granger was married to Simmons in 1950, I believe the other woman to be Deborah Kerr, who starred in three Granger films between 1950-53, so that's a good guess ! (NT) -- the Chronicler, March 24, 2008, 02:19:52pm

Some of the "sparkle" is due to lighting and camera techniques, including lovely "gauze" shots, employed at the time. But she was one of the relatively few "glowers". (NT) -- Jules, March 24, 2008, 12:10:16pm
The best photos of her were taken in 1929 by George Hurrell. If you can find them they are beautiful! (NT) -- Tarheel, March 25, 2008, 11:36:23am

This is such a pretty photo of her. And she aged so gracefully too. Sad that some "idiot" aka Pia Zadora tore down her beloved PickFair. (NT) -- I hate modernization., March 21, 2008, 11:28:10pm

She was holed-up in her ivory tower for decades, 'away' from the world by the loving husband Buddy Rogers, with protection. The underlined story is that Pickford was very neurotic in those last years, and let little be touched in her home. He cut 'troubling' articles out of her newspapers. After her death, Rogers sold it to Lakers owner jerry Buss, and HE sold it to Zadora and hubby Riklis. Odd ... -- the Chronicler, March 22, 2008, 12:09:30am
