TIDBITS 03/21/04
If any of you want Tidbits emailed directly, let me know and
I'll take care of it. Additionally, if you have friends who you think would enjoy Tidbits, please make them aware of us...and help me increase my circulation. URL (http://www.tyler-adam.com) ====================================== Aquamarine Ring of the Daughter of Captain Fluck. Not an easy last name to live with if you're going to pursue a career as an actress ... and if you also happen to be extraordinarily sexy-looking ... and if you're developed well beyond your years ... and if the Archbishop of Cantebury denounces you as a 'Wayward Hussy". Those of you in my age group will know her well. She made her first film (The Shop at Sly Corner) in 1946 when she was fifteen years old and still a student at the London Academy of Dramatic Art. Those of you younger than I (sadly ... this is not a difficult status to attain) .... may or may not know her ... depending on the time-spread that denotes those momentous occasions when your arrivals into this world were celebrated by heady and perhaps over-evaluated rejoicing by those who knew just by looking that you would all grow up to be geniuses such as the world had never seen. Diana Fluck ... the owner of the aqua ring you are all about see ... was urged by one and all to change her name. How will it look in flickering lights? What if a crucial letter goes blank? But she insisted with her agent she would not change it. I imagine her saying: I was born a Fluck and I will remain a Fluck to my dying day. Yes ... well ... nobility is all well and good ... as is pride in one's family name ... but in the name of fame and fortune ... there are times when pragmatism must simply rule. And so it was with our Fluck. The solution was offered by her mother who suggested she take her grandmother's maiden name. Which she did ... and subsequently became the Diana those of you who knew her came to love. Anyone know who she is yet? She was once a photographer's dream when she posed in a mink bikini. At the age of nine ... in a school essay .... she confided she was going to be a film star with a swimming pool and a cream telephone. Alas ... our platinum blonde goddess of film died at the early age of 52 of cancer. Her funeral was attended by over 300 people. And her grandmother's maiden name--the name she took as her own-- was Dors. Diana Dors is who she was to the public. How many of you remember her? For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Aqua ... where you'll see an image of am Aqua Ring that once belonged to Diana Fluck. And there ya have it. That's it for this week folks. Catch you all next week. Benjamin Mark All issues of Tidbits are copyrighted and available from our home page.
