Weekend Discussion Thread: Your Embarrassing Crush on a MSTed Movie Actor

Alert reader Amy has a great one:

Just a few days ago, I was minding my own business watching Overdrawn at the Memory Bank when the scene came on with Apollonia reprimanding Fingal for spending – what, several days? – “making love” with Felicia. Raul Julia turns on the smolder in that scene, and suddenly I found myself sitting up and thinking, “Why, HELLO, Mr. Julia. How YOU doin’?” I was sort of both amused and disgusted with myself. I mean, it IS a young Raul Julia we’re talking about here, but, on the other hand, it’s Raul Julia in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, so…

So my question is, what’s your most embarrassing crush on an actor/actress in an MST movie? I feel like Raul Julia isn’t TOO embarrassing, actually, so I’ll also submit the floppy-haired indeterminately European Paul from “Werewolf.” I should know better, I really should, but the heart (or whatever it is) wants what the heart wants.

No question: Mary Beth Hughes, especially in “Last of the Wild Horses.” She can saddle me up anytime.

How about you? Oh, and keep it PG-13, okay?

RIP Richard Dysart

dysart Santa Monica, Calif.–Richard Dysart, the Emmy-winning actor who portrayed the cranky senior partner Leland McKenzie in the slick, long-running NBC drama “L.A. Law,” died at his home here April 5 after a long illness. He was 86.
MSTies will recall that he played Leonard Driscoll in the pilot episode of the TV series “Gemini Man,” and scenes from that episode, featuring Dysart, were included in brief flashbacks in the movie in episode 814- RIDING WITH DEATH, although William Sylvester played Driscoll in the series, and is seen as Driscoll for most of the movie.

The Hollywood Reporter has an obit.

Thanks to Timmy and Duane, who, sadly, have been very busy lately!
