When I try to go to Current Talk a message comes up saying there's an error and
"The database value you're trying to insert does not exist:  value"

Since the pandemic, our library doesn’t get newspapers on the current day, and the New York Times is often 2 or more weeks behind.  There’s also ProQuest online, which one can access through a library account, and it has all of the New York Times, but about a month behind.  Sunday, November 5, 2023 didn’t come to the library (or disappeared) and I had to read that one through ProQuest. 

As I was going through, I was moving to the next page when I thought, wait! That looked like Jonathan Frid!  What could that be?

I went back and it was nothing like him.  It turned out to be Joel Kinnaman as astronaut Ed Baldwin in something called “For All Mankind.”  There are 3 pictures of him from different seasons.

If you’re able to look it up, it’s the November 5, 2023 New York Times, Arts Section, Page 15.  If you cover the bottom of the first picture so that only the top of the nose and up shows, the hair and eyes, at a quick glance, really looked like Frid as I went by.  As I said, once I saw the whole picture, it’s nothing like him!  I’ve had this on my screen at times, though, and every time, for a moment, I think it’s Frid!!!

Since 1970 Parallel Time was based on Rebecca, I thought that was enough of a connection to mention this!

Last night and tonight was a 2-part Cannon, which I’ve seen many times now, but last night discovered a detail I had never noticed.  Joan Fontaine plays a famous actress.  At one point one of her old films is playing in the background and Cannon enters and they talk (or scream) over it.  One doesn’t see or hear much of it, but last night, just before Cannon started to talk, I heard the actress on the screen saying something about “you knew she wore that dress and let me wear it” or something like that.  I thought, Oh!  That sounds like Rebecca.  I didn't remember, but looked it up and Joan WAS the star of Rebecca.  So, here they were playing one of her real films as the fictional actress’ film!!

Naomi says "my sons," (plural) - what other son?

Sorry I didn't know in advance; it's half over now.  I was only half paying attention, I've seen it a couple of times now.  There was a scene with a woman that I only partially paid attention to, but when she was in a subsequent scene I was watching and thought, Hey! That sort of looks like Lara!  So, I looked it up, and sure enough, it was!!!  I don't know if I was aware of that the previous times or not.  If I was, I obviously didn't remember it!

I didn't remember her being in one of these, but it just started in case anyone sees this and is interested.

Masterpiece's current 2nd year of "Miss Scarlet & the Duke" has a character who is in charge of the morgue, and she always has problems with him as she needs to see files, etc. from the morgue, and he is opposed to allowing her access.  They are developing more of him in the story right now and this week it turns out his first name is "Barnabas"!!!!
