- If I’m not careful, Ms. Holt, you could make an honest man of me.

- I’m counting on it, Mr. Steele.

Before you remind me this is the real world, ask yourself: "what if?"

A Mom for Christmas (1990) — dir. George T. Miller

In the "Stronger than Steele" episode of Remington Steele, which first aired on January 15, 1985, Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) confessed that she had based the values of Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) off of the comic book/TV hero Atomic Man played by Maxwell Donahue (Conrad Janis) that aired from 1961 - 1964 (that was narrated by Jackson Beck who in real life narrated things like G.I. Joe, Tom Corbett Space Cadet, The New Adventures of Superman, the Adventures of Batman, The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, The Adventures of Superboy, Steve Canyon and was the voice of Bluto in 1950s Popeye cartoons). It was also learned that Laura was a regular attender of Atomic Man conventions and even cosplayed as him. Donahue, who was forever typecast by the role, was upset that Hollywood was making a new version of Atomic Man without him and threatened the director Steven Spooner (Tom Harrison) during a press conference. Soon after, Laura was upset to hear that Donahue was being accused of murdering Spooner. The episode also saw the return of detective Jarvis (Gary Frank). Surprisingly, the annoying practice of tv shows cutting content for commercial space in syndication helped solve the case. ("Stronger than Steele" Remington Steele, TV Event)

Have you visited all these celebrity graves? I've obviously visited some of them – several I visited just today – but not all.

Maybe next time I come to LA, I should visit Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills for the first time, and see Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher's tomb and Judith Barsi's grave, among others.

Hester Street (Joan Micklin Silver, 1975)

Cast: Carol Kane, Steven Keats, Mel Howard, Dorrie Kavanaugh, Doris Roberts, Stephen Strimpel, Lauren Friedman, Paul Freedman, Martin Garner, Leib Lensky, Zane Lasky, Zvee Scooler, Eda Reiss Merin. Screenplay: Joan Micklin Silver, based on a novel by Abraham Cahan. Cinematography: Kenneth Van Sickle. Production design: Stuart Wurtzel. Film editing: Katherine Wenning. Music: William Bolcom, Herbert L. Clarke. 

Gitl (Carol Kane) joins her immigrant husband Yankel (Steven Keats) in turn-of-the-century New York City, and discovers that he is no longer the modest, religiously observant man she knew in the old country. He has picked up American slang, while she speaks only Yiddish, and calls himself Jake while insisting that their son, Yossele (Paul Freedman) be called Joey. He has also taken up with a flashy Americanized woman named Mamie (Dorrie Kavanaugh). With the help of their neighbor, Mrs. Kavarsky (Doris Roberts), Gitl learns how to adapt to the new world, shed herself of Jake, and find a new, more suitable husband. Kane received an Oscar nomination for best actress in writer-director Joan Micklin Silver's first feature. Low-key, warm-hearted, and amusing, Hester Street evokes silent movies in its well-crafted depiction of the era in which it's set.
