That newsreel footage John Henley mentions is indeed vivid and disturbing.

Al Jolson also had a lifelong lung problem.  Five years before his death
most of his left lung was removed.  So he wasn't in wonderful shape.  So
far as his age goes, though he seemed to have been around forever,  he was
apparently 64, which these days isn't all that old.   Of course l950 wasn't
"these days".

Herbert Goldman's l988 biography - "Jolson - the Legend comes to Life",
isn't bad, though indifferently written.

Sam Levene.

PS -
 Jolie to Benny:   "You may not like the way I drive, but you should see
the way Larry PARKS!"
 (Well, thought I'd try again.)

Or as John W. Campbell used to say, experiments have proven that beating
tom-toms during an eclipse causes the sun to reappear.

Not to take too much space, but on "America One" cable outlet (I think)
there was a version of an OMF episode in which Claudia was pregnant and 
still with Johnny Roberts.  Anyone have more information regarding the TV
adaptation of the OTR show.  Please e-mail me at the address below since 
this does border on OTR/TV crossover.

The fine actor, Howard Rollins, has died at age 46.  The hospital did not
give a cause of death but Carroll O'Connor's publicist stated it was due to
lymphoma.  Rollins and O'Connor worked together, of course, on "In the Heat
of the Night."

I bring this to the attention of the OTR group because Rollins, as many of
you will remember, had a prominent guest role in an episode of "Remember
WENN" last summer or early fall, which episode was a topic of discussion
for a while.
