RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN ON IRWIN'S HAIRDO: "I remember occasionally walking up behind him when he was directing over here. And I would try to figure out what he had done. And he always knew. He would always turn around. The instant you gave his hair that kind of focus. He had a kind of 'hair radar'."

Taking Stella Stevens in a Rolls Royce to Jack in tbe Box for lunch is classic.
-
Putting Carol Lynley in those shorty shorts was genius and good box-office.
-
Stella was really beautiful in The Poseidon Adventure.
-
The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno are still in my rotation every several years. No CGI, just old fashioned special effects.
-
I had seen Stella Stevens several times during 1967, and once I put my hand out toward hers to help her out of a car, I'm straight and was then and I know there was a lot to look at on her but when she looked up at me the first thing I noticed was her perfectly flawless and beautiful complexion. I never forgot that.

I;m not paying for a swimming pool..he gets a spaceship. Jonathan "And he talks--how will his mouth iopen: "Irwin "WE arent paying for a frog who can talk-he speak telepathically " That;s IRWIN LOL

he gave this little boy a great deal of joy in the 60s loved his programs..... have very fond memories of my childhood and Irwin Allen was part of it...
-
He invited me to a party for the benefit premiere of the Towering Inferno. I was amazed. I had been an extra in the film & had watched him direct, but had no idea he even knew whom I was. One of my big regrets is that I didn't go.

I know such things are edited--but rarely have I seen folks smile and laugh in appreciation of someone so much. His films were cheese incorporated--so now I'll even have more appreciation for him.

What a wonderful tribute of a man who loved to entertain us.
-
I got to meet Stella Stevens in 1981, and she was the most beautiful and awesome actress you could imagine. Very friendly and giving. I grew up on these films, they will always be special!

Great stuff. Talking about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, in real life, if you had explosions, fire and smoke in an actual submarine, just taking a fire extinguisher and shooting it out wouldn't be a real solution. On the positive side, the U.S. Navy very rarely had to deal with underwater mad scientists and hokey monsters...probably a good thing.
-
"hair radar" hilarious.
-
I still think Susan Flannery had the most dramatic and horrifying scene in the whole movie.
-
Stuntman is 76...Ernie Orsatti was the dark haired man talking about when he fell from the table on his back to the large stain glass ceiling......and he was the firemen in The Towering Inferno when he almost dropped someone from the hanging elevator.
-
IRWIN AND THE 'DO'. As I mentioned to a friend of mine who also likes Irwin's movies and TV series: Irwin might have died in his 80s, but his hair was barely 40!
-
“Money is no object! Let’s go to lunch!”……..they proceed to drive to Jack in the Box! Lol

People!!! You're arguing about the brilliance or lack there of of a man that thought Jack in the box was the greatest restaurant. He was a simple man with extravagant ideas when producing shows and movies. As all the stars said, Mr. Irwin wanted to entertain people. That's it, nothing more. He wasn't looking to win awards. He enjoyed what he was doing and he treated people with respect and like family. If his work was so awful how was he able to make so many movies and TV shows. People were watching that's why. Not everything has to be academy or Emmy award winning to be entertaining. 80% of the shit coming out of Hollywood is crap.

Now he's lost in the infinite corridors of time...

Was Stella Stevens in the John Wayne picture, The Shootiist. I think I saw her there. Best picture ever.
