Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: A Sleepin' Bee (1957)
Every Saturday I take time off from written on serious topics to have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about the wonder of first love. How would you describe the sensation of falling in love?
Caring, caring about the person more than you care about yourself.
2) This 1957 album was the first Diahann Carroll ever recorded. More recently she recorded "A, You're Adorable," a nursery rhyme. (The lyrics are here.) Give us some words to a children's song that remain in your head to this day.
Twinkle, twinkle litter star, how I wonder…
3) 1957 was the peak of the Baby Boom (1946 to 1964). Are you a Boomer, a Gen X-er, a Gen Y-er, or a Millennial?
KaBoom! I’m a Boomer, I am a Medicare card carrying Boomer.
4) In 1974, Diahann was named to the Best Coiffed Hall of Fame by the Guild of Professional Beauticians. How often do you change your look?
Zero. I don’t, I like the way I look and I don’t want to change my hair style or color.
5) Ms. Carroll made history as Julia in the first network TV show to star a black woman. She played a nurse. Do you/have you ever worked in the healthcare profession?
Nope, but I have worked with healthcare professionals doing training.
6) She also played glamorous, scheming Dominique Deveraux on the nighttime soap, Dynasty. Who is the most memorable female villain you've ever seen in a TV show or movie?
Natasha Fatale from the Bullwinkle Show
7) Ms. Carroll began her career as a model. Her height (nearly 6' tall) is an asset in that profession. Are you pleased with your height? Or do you wish you were taller, or shorter?
Shorter, good grief… I’m tall enough already because I’m six foot and I don’t want to be any taller.
8) Now in her 80th year, she keeps on working. Recently she's appeared on TV in Grey's Anatomy and Blue Collar and on the big screen in Tyler Perry Presents Peeples. How do you feel about retirement? Is it something you enjoy or look forward to? Or would you prefer to continue working?
I think retirement is great! I get to pick what and when I want to do.
9) In her long movie career, Ms. Carroll has played love scenes with some very good looking men, including Sidney Poitier and Billy Dee Williams. If you could steal a kiss from any actor or actress, who would choose?
Meryl Streep

OOOH! Natasha is an *awesome* choice! Wish I'd thought of her first.
ReplyDeleteI read the rest of your answers in Natasha's voice!
ReplyDeleteNatasha is a great villain! And Twinkle Twinkle - you know I actually had a hard time answering that question; it took me a long time to think of a song.
ReplyDeleteI wish that we could make a deal on the height thing :)
ReplyDeleteNatasha... haha. Good choice, good choice. Fun answers!
