   1. Hey Nick…thanks for the heads up….I would have thought as old as I am that I would know my ABCs by now. That has been fixed.

2. Since you do not seem to know! I am defining diversity for you!

   Diversity – the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations.

   This index is filled with so many white straight actors and actresses it disgusts me! It is 2022! Not 1922! Fix this!

   1. Hey Under Protest. First of all thanks for the feedback. As for you issues….all I can say is, we Do Not pick UMR subjects based on race, sex, sexuality, religion or any characteristic that might label people. Many of our subjects come from requests, or new movies being released. or simply being in the news (our latest page is on Anne Heche, who sadly is in the news because of her car accident) I will say we will strive to continue to make this a diverse website. Once again, thanks for the feedback.

5. Part 2 of 3 is not going through as it has been marked as Spam. Whatever safety valve system is in operation here it seems to have a peculiar notion of what constitutes spam. It would be both helpful and courteous if one could be told what that is so that one could avoid wasting time.

   PART 3 of 3
   Tarzan-Alan Ladd. Steve gasps and jumps up from his seat as if stung by a wash; and there is no doubt that movie historians will always perceive Johnny Weissmuller as the screen’s definitive Tarzan and indeed he could be said to have lifted the role to albeit very restricted A list status for a while.

   However around 1948 he became too old and heavy to play the part and was demoted to the much-inferior Jungle Jim franchise where the hero was not required to be so athletic.

   Bruce’s tables show conclusively that whereas Johnny’s Tarzan films had made a fortune at the box office those actors who followed Johnny as Tarzan in the Classic Era such as Lex Barker attracted box office takings that were miserable by comparison.

   It has always seemed to me therefore that only the trained athlete in real life Alan Ladd in the 1950s had the capacity to fly through the tree-tops with the great speed, grace and ease that Johnny had done. Laddie [as his great friend Bill Bendix had nicknamed him] was in fact one of the great action heroes at the box office in the 1940s/1950s but his action outings had always been poshly dressed-up as film noirs or westerns where his deficiency in vertical inches had been comfortably gotten round; and before going into movies Ladd had been a lifeguard – a trade that required not inconsiderate physical strength

   Therefore Laddie as Tarzan his flowing blonde hair iconically sparkling as he swung from tree to tree still seems to me to have been capable of bringing the Jungle Lord films back to the big-time box office of the Weissmuller days. Imagine it: a screen action hero who could actually act! James Mason might well have agreed with the casting:

   “When we made Botany bay together in 1952 I had the opportunity to observe the Ladd phenomenon at first hand and to understand why he was such a massive star at the time. I have never seen such an athletic physical specimen on a movie set nor someone who could glide around the set with the speed that Ladd could in those days.”
