The Stuph File Program Slide Show - Marina Sirtis

Stuph File Program listeners, it's time for another video slide show. This is a recent one from this month's show #0148.

It's a chat with Marina Sirtis, best known as Deanna Troi, on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

She was on the show talking about her career and the fact that it's the 25th anniversary of when the sci-fi classic first went on the air.

It's the second time over the years that I've had the chance to talk to her and both times she was utterly charming and engaging.

Watch the slide show on YouTube while the audio plays! Share the link with fans of TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation!

That’s the Stuph – the way I see it.

The Stuph File Program Slide Show - Jerry Orbach

Stuph File Program listeners, another video slide show awaits you! This one hails from April’s show #0138. It's a retro interview from my celebrity audio archives that features an actor who, sadly, is no long with us.

Over the last 25 years or so, I’ve had the pleasure to talk to some great stars of the past. This time around it’s a chat I had back in August of 1997 with Jerry Orbach.

He was best known as Detective Lenny Brisco on the long running NBC police drama Law & Order. Jerry was actually here in Montreal on vacation. He came to town to check out the Just For Laughs Festival that summer. Just For Laughs is another place that I work, so it gave me a chance to catch up with him and go through his career a little bit.

I caught up with him at the bar at the Delta Hotel, which for years was sort of the nerve center for those participating in the festival.

Watch the slide show on YouTube while the audio plays! Share the link with fans of TV's long running Law & Order!

That’s the Stuph – the way I see it.

The Stuph File Program Slide Show - Buddy Ebsen

Stuph File Program listeners, another video slide show awaits you! This one hails from June’s show #0147. It's a retro interview from my celebrity audio archives that features an actor who, sadly, is no long with us.

Over the last 25 years or so, I’ve had the pleasure to talk to some great stars of the past. This time around it’s a chat I had back in March of 1994 with Buddy Ebsen.

He was best known for his role as Jed Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies and as detective Barnaby Jones. At the time that we spoke he was promoting his just released autobiography and was just a month shy of his 86th birthday. He was a sweet and gentle kind soul and an absolute joy to talk to.

His autobiography, as the title suggests, touches on the fact that he was originally cast for a role in The Wizard Of Oz, but was forced to drop out at the last minute. The book in entitled The Other Side of Oz.

Watch the slide show on YouTube while the audio plays! Share the link with fans of TV's long running Clampett clan!

Photo Phollies #3 - The Mask Of Inclusion

Faux Stories From Real Pictures

Ludmilla Van Smoot was never an anarchist. On the contrary; she was a Young Republican and one of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She thought Dick Cheney was a left-wing pansy.

Her great-great-grandfather was Chester Van Smoot, who made his fortune mass producing leather subway straps for standing commuters. Her grandfather, Percival Van Smoot, quietly increased the family fortune by slightly altering the leather strap patent and selling a new variety to trendy overseas S&M clubs.

Ludmilla had all the trappings that the only child of Dickie and Muffy Van Smoot could ever hope for. Growing up she had three bedrooms in their spacious Southern mansion, and in each room, a pony. Life was idyllic.

But then it happened. Ludmilla hit puberty. With her growth spurt came the Van Smoot curse that had afflicted the family for generations. No amount of money, doctors, or plastic surgery could eradicate the hereditary strain of chronic acne that encased her face like crimson bubble wrap. As if that weren’t enough the scourge also travelled down her back to form an almost perfect depiction of the Orion Constellation.

She was conscious of her looks, never gathering with friends and staying in low light. It was a lonely existence, until she found Hector. Hector had no political affiliations. In fact he thought all government should be abolished.

Was Ludmilla really in love or was this just a passing fancy? She wasn’t sure. But she’d stay by Hector’s side, at least for now; or until her face cleared.

That’s the Stuph – the way I see it.
