The silent movie "The Kid" was on TCM last night. A very young Jackie Coogan, who played Uncle Fester on "The Addams Family", plays an orphan who is taken in by the Little Tramp, played by Charlie Chaplin. It's a very sweet movie.

Did I miss that movie? I've been meaning to watch it. I do have a fear of Charlie Chaplin, but love his movies. Does that make sense?

Personal Quotes (3)
Hollywood is a lovely place to get knifed in. Today's stars are deadheads compared to the Doug Fairbanks, Errol Flynns, and Clark Gables of my day. Whatever happened to the strong leading man with no hang-ups? And today's child stars? I don't see the ability of any of these kids to carry a picture by themselves... I think their ability lasts as long as a commercial; on, off, hey, wasn't he cute?
I drank milk from my own ranch. I had a 65' by 80' room filled with toy trains and my own golf course and football field in my backyard. Other boys went to see Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth came to see me.
[Asked about what gratified him most after a long life] The thing I am proudest of is that I've never been beaten at Scrabble.
