Good one, I hope she isn’t as p##s taking as mine, even you wouldn’t stand a chance against her, she’s a love all the same.

I really love my Mother-in-law..i worship the ground that’s coming to her!!

First thing i do in the morning is look in the obituaries to see if the Mother-in-laws name is there

No, we don’t simply spend our time looking at obituaries as you obviously do.
If someone snuffs it, you can garuantee Mr Rowell will be there first, you wouldn’t be an undertaker by any chance would you.

Sorry mate, just a bit of chiding.

Mel Ferrer was one of those actors that could turn up in any film, I looked up his credits on IMDB, he never did anything sensational, just someone who was obviously reliable, he could be a baddie lurking in some Western saloon, but could I actually recall a film he was in, not really, I just remember his name and face.
I see he was in The Longest Day, at first I thought he was probably cast as a German officer, he looked the part, but they had to speak German in that film, not for him then, I’m trying to recall his role as a senior US officer, but I can’t.
I was also surprised to see that he married Audrey Hepburn, good for him.
To sum up, a good old boy who never quite made the top grade, a reliable actor, never destined for the top, I hope he’s got his hand prints preserved on Hollywood Boulevard though, he obviously deserves it.
RIP, one of those actors that was always worth watching.
