Goldie Hawn on staying young at heart, sexism in Hollywood and working with Amy Schumer

Her nightclub gogo-dancing days are over, but the Oscar-winner and Snatched star hasn’t lost her shine



By Michael Hodges
Friday 19 May 2017

As a beautiful young actress in a business run by men, and cast alongside stars who were much older than her like Matthau or, in one sublime TV song-and-dance routine, Dean Martin, Hawn had to navigate her way through unwanted attention.

“Men are men,” she says. “It’s how we handle it. I wouldn’t want testosterone running through my veins, I really wouldn’t. Women are not built the way men are. Men are designed to spread their seed, that’s how they propagated the world. So forgiveness is important.”

Has Hawn had to forgive much? “When I was very young I had a couple of incidents,” she says. “Men can be kind of crazy and it also has to do with a lot of things about the woman. How does she handle herself? How does she carry herself? How does she deal with these situations? Because they come up all the time for women – whether they are movie stars or not.”

How did you react when it happened to you? “I would look the man in the eye and say, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ I used my words. But I’m not talking about the really heavyweight stuff. If you start getting groped then absolutely you fight back. You do not allow that to happen.   But Dean Martin never did anything like that. Dean make a move? Never, ever. He was the most wonderful man.”

Hey pallies, likes welcome back for yet more Dino-as-Matt-Helm action from Mr. Lucius Etruscus' Italiano blog, "IPMP - ITALIAN PULP MOVIE POSTERS - Vintage Italian Posters."  Today we finish our quartet of potent posts accentin' original pulp posters featured in the newspapers of the day

Likes bein' our fourth entry, today we share an amazin'  advert from the last of the Helm flicks, "The Wrecking Crew," but promoted on the movie posters as "Mission accomplished stop. Kisses Matt Helm."  This particular graphic is now as clear to view as some of the others, but once 'gain our Dino has his ever present gun ready to save the world.

We have really enjoyed sharin' this quartet of Matt Helm pulp posters with all youse Dino-devotees and relivin' some of the greatest of great days when our Dino walked the earth and pallies thronged to movie palaces to see our Dino in action....both romantic and otherwise!

We sez  our thank youse very much one more time to Mr. Lucius Etruscus for gatherin' up these Helmer adverts for our Dino-delight and to surely bring many more Italianos into a deeper knowin', a deeper lovin', and a deeper honorin' of our one and only Dino.  To checks this out in it's original source, likes simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram.  Stay tuned for a bit more Dino-action from Mr. Etruscus' blog sometime in the future here at our humble little ilovedinomartin conclave.

I'm feelin' a little "Dino French Style" comin' on.

I mean it just seems to go hand & hand with this time of year.
Youse agree, mi amici? Oops...I mean "Mes amies?"
Ahhhhhh, "Oui Oui!" Yes Yes! Good! "Bien!"

The best part 'bout pickin' from this GREAT GREAT & FUN FUN al b um...is that EVERY SINGLE TUNE is AWESOME!!! Hahaha!!!

This is REALLY tough, pallies!
Can't seem to shake my crazy "Dino-slang"! Haha!!

Anyways...how's 'bout we ask our pal, Dean...to tell us ALL 'bout "The Last Time He Saw Paris"? "Bien?"
"Bien!"
Let's do it!

This may be the beginnin' of a "French Style" bender for me, pals!
Once I get hooked on this FINE FINE piece of Dino-vinyl...it's OH SO SO hard to let go!

Well...ain't NOTHIN' wrong with that, my friends!

OK, monsieurs & mamsellies...pour up a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon...put on your best beret & enjoy!

"Au Revoir, pallies!"


The last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay
I heard the laughter of her heart in every street cafe
The last time I saw Paris
Her trees were dressed for spring
And lovers walked beneath those trees
And birds found songs to sing
I dodged the same old taxicabs
That I had dodged for years
The chorus of the squeaky horns
Was music to my ears
Oh the last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay
No matter how they changed her
I'll remember her ah that way
Dodged the same old taxicabs
That I had dodged for years
The chorus of the squeaky horns
Was music to my ears
Yea, the last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay
No matter how they change her
I'll remember her that way
The last time I saw Paris
The last time I saw Paris

I’m a big fan of Dean Martin.

Hey pallies, likes we continually are awesomely astounded by the ubber unique, coolly creative ways that our most beloved Dino is bein' incredibly integrated into marvelous media of all swank sorts.
Case in point, likes today we takes you to the lovely literary blog, "In Patti's Imagination - Sharing love for the Indie community one author at a time."  Likes our most beloved Dino is magnificantly mentioned in a recent post, blogger Miss Anita Biškup scribed both a review and character interview of Miss Mika Jolie's new tome, "THE BOY FRIEND."

Our Dino is mentioned in the "character interview" portion of the post and that is what we will be focusin' on in this Dino-gram.  Likes it appears that the main male character in "THE BOY FRIEND"  is tagged "Dean Conrad Morello," so likes the first Dino-connect is Morello shared our main man's name.  And, likes in the character interview we share two of the quires with Morello's randiest of randy responses.

Likes, as you read 'em you will note that Dean, the fictional character's liquid libation of choice is Scotch Neat, which is our Dino's drink of choice as well.  And, even more directly Dino-connected is that Morello sez, "I’m a big fan of Dean Martin."

Knows we knows that Dean Conrad Morello is a fictional character and thus the character interview is fictional as well, but we deeply deeply digs that the Morello character is swankly smitten by our one and only Dino....to our way of Dino-thinkin', the coolest of cool ways to lift up the name of our beloved Dino!  Likes, makes us wonder if the Morello character speaks of his Dino-delight in the new tome.

Likes we thanks Miss Anita Biškup, who scribed the prose, the blog ""In Patti's Imagination - Sharing love for the Indie community one author at a time." for hostin' the post, and Miss Mika Jolie who penned the book.  To checks out the post in it's entirety, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-gram.

Jimmy Dean makes a mean sausage

Nick Tosches: Once Upon a Time

Jean-Marc GrosdemougeMay 3, 2017



Nick Toshes is perhaps the most outrageous historian of popular cultures. Proof by three thanks to some of his books. By going to see who is hiding behind the legend Dean Martin, or by following the trail of an unknown artist named Emmett Miller, this end of Nick Tosches is cleared of margins. And outsiders of culture. All with an exceptional pen.






Dino" (Shores)

Crooner, actor of cinema, seducer, Dean Martin has done everything. Made famous by his duet with Jerry Lewis in the 50's, Martin embodies American success. But who is it really? It is the American levee in all its contradiction, answers this book: Dino is a secret man. It must be said that it charms everyone: veteran agents, members of the Mafia, stars, politicians and of course ... the sublime women. The underground / show-biz links are discussed here. What we also learn is that Dino is a menefreghista, a "guy who does not give a fuck". "The advent of the phonograph and the kinetoscope has shaped the tastes of popular America," writes James Elroy. Dino understood this, and he, who has little passion for studies, who loves to sing and has discovered all kinds of trafficking during the Prohibition era, Becomes a cog in the fabulous machine to make dreams. Dino is not just a biography. Throughout the life of an unusual character, it is the history of American popular culture that takes shape, recounted with a stylistic virtuosity where lyricism rubs off with raw and provocative images. This is a striking picture of contemporary America.

 Nick Tosches : il était une fois l’Amérique

Jean-Marc Grosdemouge3 mai 2017 A lire Navigation des articles
PrécédentSuivant

Nick Toshes est peut être l’historien des cultures populaires le plus déjanté qui soit. La preuve par trois grâce à quelques un de ses livres. En allant voir se qui se cache derrière la légende Dean Martin, ou en se mettant sur la piste d’un artiste inconnu du nom d’Emmett Miller, ce fin limier de Nick Tosches se fait défricheur des marges. Et des marginaux de la culture. Le tout avec une plume d’exception.

dino« Dino » (Rivages)

   Crooner, acteur de cinéma, séducteur, Dean Martin a tout fait. Rendu célèbre par son duo avec Jerry Lewis dans les années 50, Martin incarne la réussite à l’américaine. Mais qui est-il vraiment ? C’est leêve américain dans toute sa contradiction, répond ce livre : Dino est un homme secret. Il faut dire qu’il charme tout le monde : agents véreux, membres de la Mafia, stars, hommes politiques et bien sûr… les femmes sublimes. Les liens pègre/show-biz sont étudiés ici. Ce que l’on apprend aussi, c’est que Dino est un menefreghista, un « type qui n’en a rien à foutre ». « L’avènement du phonographe et du kinétoscope a façonné les goûts de l’Amérique populaire, écrit James Elroy. Dino l’a compris, et lui qui n’a guère de passion pour les études, qui adore chanter et a découvert les trafics en tous genres à l’époque de la Prohibition, devient un rouage de la fabuleuse machine à fabriquer des rêves. Dino n’est pas une simple biographie. A travers la vie d’un personnage hors du commun, c’est l’histoire de la culture populaire américaine qui se dessine, racontée avec une virtuosité stylistique où le lyrisme côtoie les images crues et provocantes. » Voilà un tableau saisissant de l’Amérique contemporaine.

Hey palllies, likes as all youse Dino-holics knows, we just never ever know where the name of our Dino will be lifted up next.  Likes recently as we were doin' our almost daily blog search for Dino-devotion usin' the Twingly Advanced Search Engine, we were led to all thin's  vinyl blog tagged "Duke's Wax Platter Patter -The Stores.

Likes it is completely totally obvious that Dunton deeply deeply digs vinyl of every types and stripe, and his recent post tagged "Record Shopping Adventure in New Orleans" has a marvelous mention of our one and only Dino.  While Duke was makin' the scene at one of New Orleans' primo platter places, "Euclid Records," his wife went outside to telephone their youngens and Dino-low and Dino-behold, his lady found a 45 rpm copy of our Dino's cool croon "Bumming Around."

Youse can read the pertinent details below, and if you clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram you can read Mr. Dunton's full report of searchin' vinyl in New Orleans.  We thanks him for sharin' his wife's delightful Dino-discovery and hopes that he will feature our most beloved Dino more often at his powerful pad.  Likes as a special Dino-treat, we couldn't not share a terrific trio of youtube vids of our Dino croonin' "Bumming Around" for your Dino-viewin' 'n Dino-listenin' pleasure. And, likes if that ain't 'nough there are quite a few more available via youtube.

Record Shopping Adventure in New Orleans


While I was in shopping, my wife went outside to call home to make sure the kids were still alive.  While outside she found a Dean Martin 45 on the sidewalk.  Of course we snagged it.
  

I love found records and will always take them home for a spin.  This one is special.  It's a Roger Miller style 'ridin the rails' type song.  Appropriately she found it near some railroad tracks.

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "On The Street Where You Live"

What's up, pallies?!

Man o man...can't believe it's May already!!!

Seems I was just talkin' 'bout April showers fallin' & the birds & the bees buzzin'!

I blinked my eyes, & BAM!!! It's May.

Oh well, pals...Spring is Spring...& I AIN'T complainin'!

NO WAY!

I just hate to sees it go by so damn fast! Haha!!

What can I say...Dean & this season...& me... just go SO SO good together!

A perfect trifecta that gets my feet floatin' on air.

My head is in the clouds & I ain't comin' down! Haha!!
Not if I can help it, anyway!

Hey, pals...Dino has me in a spell, I guess.

You know what I mean, mi amici. You hear a certain song today...a Dino-jam, of course...& it just sounds a little different than it did yesterday
. It grabs your attention!
Sucks youse in & is buzzin'...like a bee in your ear...all day long!

Are youse followin' me, pallies? Hahaha!!!

Let me give youse an example.
I was drivin' home today...flickin' 'round the radio. Kinda just day dreamin'. Then it happened my friends...all of a sudden...Dean reached down to me!

Croonin' a tune I ain't heard in awhile.

Well well well, pals...I new IMMEDIATELY...here's this week's Serenade! "On the Street Where You Live".
 I must've palyed this song ten times today, already! Ha!

So, ol' pallies o' mine...let me see if this COOL COOL jam gets youse floatin' up here with me!

If it does...GREAT! Stay awhile!
Thins' look pretty good from up here! Haha!!

Enjoy, pals!

I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I
Several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.

And oh, the towerin' feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowerin' feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.

People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.

Let the time go by,
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.

Let the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live,

Let me be on the street where you live.

Daliah Lavi, ’60s spy femme fatale, dies

Posted on May 4, 2017 by The Spy Commander

Daliah Lavi, right, chats with Dean Martin during filming of TheSilencers

Daliah Lavi, who co-starred in the 1967 Casino Royale spoof as well as The Silencers, has died at 74, according to an obituary posted by The Hollywood Reporter.

Lavi also appeared in Some Girls Do and The Spy With the Cold Nose.

In 1966’s The Silencers, Lavi played Tina, a character actually in the first Matt Helm novel, Death of a Citizen.

While the movie was done as a spoof, the basic dynamic was retained from the serious original story. Helm thinks Tina is on his side when she’s really working for the other.

The ’66 movie, starring Dean Martin, took the basic plots of two serious Donald Hamilton novels and went in an outlandish direction.

Lavi’s career extended from the 1950s into the late 1990s. She was born in Palestine. The former actress died May 3 in Asheville, North Carolina, according to an obit published by the Asheville Citizen-Times.

That obit says her “funeral and interment will take place in her native Israel.”

Dino-art by Ms. Bruni Sablan

Hey pallies, likes inquirin' Dino-minds wanna know.....  When we posted earlier today a sweetest of sweet sweet and simply simple tribute to our most beloved Dino from the blog  "The Rat Pack Preservation Society," which is hosted by Mr. Daniel Bellino-Zwicke, we thoughts to ourselves that we wondered 'bout information on the Dino-art that Mr. Bellino-Zwicke used in his post.  Well, likes just a few 'go we discovered when you clicks on an image, one of the options is to "search Google for image."

And, likes that is exactly what we did, and we were led to 'nother Rat Pack dedicated blog simply tagged "The Rat Pack Blog," where on 31 July 2010 the same image of our Dino was posted in the blog post, "portraits of the rat pack."  Likes, in perusin' the information there, we discovered that the image was powerfully painted by Ms. Bruni Sablan who holds forth in Cali.  In doin' a little bit more searchin' we discovered Ms. Sablan's website  HERE, where you can learn a ton 'bout her and her work.

We are deeply delighted to be able to give credit where credit is due, and we are tremedously thrilled to be able to share the awesome artist who has created this Dino-masterpiece and thank her profusely for usin' her many many talents in makin' our Dino known in this coolly creative way.  To checks this out in it's original source, simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram.
