Yes..."clean cut" Ricky Nelson....but if you remember, when he did Garden Party he was a little P*i*s*s*e*d-off! (that was for you Peck!! ) The people at a concert he had at Madison Square Garden, didn't like the new music he was playing and wanted to hear his older stuff....so he wrote that song in a bit of a fit of anger and disgust.
Very true . I can never understand why celebrities rebel against the accomplisments that gave them fame and fortune. Luckily most "entertainers" are happy to give their fans what they want.

And Peter Falk is the first to admit this. In almost every interview he is asked if he is tired of being associated with Columbo......and his answer is always the same. He tells them that he loves Columbo and what it has done for him....and he doesn't understand how "celebs" try to distance themselves from the characters who have made them famous. And on top of that!! He always mentions that he gets great tables at restaurants because he is who he is!!!.............gotta love the guy!!!
Liberace was another who never forgot his fans and how they supported him. I readily admit that I enjoyed seeing him person. The guy gave you almost 2 hours of entertainment. Part of his show he would show the people in the first row all his jewerly. He would say, "Would you like to see my jewerly? You might as well, you paid for it"
You just had to love Lee!!! He was fantastic!....If you look up "entertainer" in the dictionary, his face would be there!! He was great!! And he knew how to work his audience, and to make fun of himself just enough as to make it fun......he was a true performer!

"I just watched Season 5 Episode 4 "A Matter of Honor" with Ricardo Montalban.
I am fairly certain that Rick Nelson has an uncredited role as Luis Montoya's "boy" who washes and waxes his cars."
well sb, i just looked at the scene with him and although he resembles ricky nelson, i know it's not him.
firstly, he is too hunked-up and muscle-bound to be rick. he has the same haircut as rick used to wear, and he looks a lot like him, but i really don't think it's him.
rick was not THAT great of an actor to pull off that accent.
This is my second time today looking at this thread, and I just now realized its original post was from two years ago...I can usually remember when I've read something before, but I have absolutely no recollection of this topic.
Welcome to the world of being a "seasoned" citizen
Have you heard from the AARP yet?
