DYING!!! I haven't thought about Victor/Victoria in ages. I used to watch random double features on a local TV channel with my Mom on Sunday afternoons - usually westerns - but sometimes the second feature was a weirder one (The original 1930's SINBAD, for instance). She never stayed awake past the first one (HAH) so I remember watching V/V alone, wholly bewildered as to how anyone could image Julie Andrews was male. (This was before I realized Boy George WASN'T FEMALE. I had a difficult time with the whole gender thing, CLEARLY.)

These actors/actresses were such fixtures of the 80's, then they just vanished. James Garner was in EVERYTHING. Sheesh.

I never watched the Duvall fairytales at all - my parents were completely anti-fantasy. Which explains a lot of my reading... I'm glad it's not gone, though! YouTube has started being my go-to place to find a lot of old stuff that I get a kick out of seeing again.
